Published on 03/03/12 at 14:38Easy installation and activation easy enough via the "Service Center" NI Note, however: As I use Reaktor as a plug-in, I started to activate this version. But this activation did not seem to be taken into account. Everything is back to normal when I turned on the stand-alone version.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Reaktor works fine on my Mac Pro 2.66GHz Quad Core. Some set of users can take a lot on the processor (up to 30%) but these are extreme cases. On average, we turn more around 5 to 10%. No stability problems.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two years and I can not do without it. I did not yet embarked on the development of an original instrument. At most, I made small changes in the tools created by others. For between the instruments provided by NI and the huge library users there are plenty to have fun! Indeed there are sets that offer a variety of sounds incredible and they are of extraordinary quality. You can do anything with Reaktor, effects, synths, samplers, sequencers, drum machines, tone generators. Many instruments are original and interesting. That is to say that one can engage widely in the acquisition of Reaktor, even if you do not feel able to create his own instruments. Although I can not remember the exact price, I can say that in regard to opportunities and quality of results is given! Much more if you get Reaktor in a pack "Komplete". Great!
