In Blocks the limit is your CPU.īlocks is a virtual modular environment included in Reaktor 6 (no additional fees are required), and it offers over 40 modules, ready for patch and experimentation.

Need a reverb? Buy one and place it in your case. You can keep adding modules to your collection, and you’re not constrained by the circuitry and by fixed parameters. We are not going to dive deep into Modular Synthesizers, but it is important to say before jumping into Blocks that, unlike integrated synths, modular can have no limits. Modules are also available in different formats: Eurorack is probably one of the most common.

Modular synths, essentially, allow you to build your own, unique synth by assembling various parts, or modules (VCOs, VCFs, VCAs, but also unusual processors, Clock Dividers, Audio Dividers, etc.), from different manufacturers, and there’s no technical limit the only limits are your wallet (modules can be very expensive) and space (it is not unusual to see entire walls full of patch cords). The modular fever seems to spread during the last years, and the possibilities of virtual modular technology are growing rapidly. Blocks is a mega-mini world that can literally drain the hours of your day while having fun exploring modules, making unconventional sequences, or simply experimenting with an extensive arsenal of sound manipulation components. In the second installment of the Kritical Reaktions series, we are going to have a closer look at Blocks, the virtual modular environment that first appeared in Reaktor 6. This entry was posted in Uncategorized on Jby peterdines.Reaktor Blocks is the Reaktor take on modular synthesis … and the layman’s quick and easy way to dive into the world of Reaktor programming. I’d also like to rework the clock divider for larger divisions, and clock the controls so they change synchronously and don’t put the sequence out of time when you adjust them, necessitating a clock restart.

To Do: fix the graphic display for the 96th ring, and adjust reset values higher for longer intervals between resets.

Download from there, or try following the instructions above to do it yourself if you enjoy a challenge. I’ve uploaded a demo ensemble to the Reaktor user library showing a couple of beats made by dividing a 1/96 clock. You can also activate the reset on the util clock, set to 96, but that will have the effect of setting long looping patterns to reset too quickly. If you’re using “ext” mode in the clock block, just hit option (alt) -space to restart the clock. This isn’t a bug in the 96th clock hack, it’s how the clock divider works. So will changing snaps if the divisors change. Note that changing the values in the clock divider will require a clock restart. Try different multiples of 2 and 6 as divisors to see what happens. Triplet eighth notes are a division of the 96th clock by 8. So half notes are a division by 48, eighth notes by 12 and sixteenth notes by 6. As you might expect, a 24 ppqn clock will play quarter notes when you divide by 24. In order to divide that into musically useful timings, use a standard Blocks clock divider. …and added a couple of values to tables in the Core macros:Īnd just like that, I had a 1/96 clock. I dug down into the master clock to see how much fuss it’d be to modify and it was surprisingly easy. You have to have triplets or things won’t swing. I miss the 1/96, 24 ppqn (pulses per quarter note) resolution of Reaktor’s MIDI timing, which makes it easy to do triplets. Blocks are great for the kind of freeform music making I like but one thing that’s bothered me is the maximum 64th note resolution of the util clock block.
