But it does make the keyboard more powerful. It’s shy of what a lot of us want, though, which is custom scale collections and Scala support for supporting microtunings.
Scales and modes now include a wider array of pitch collections mapped to the keyboard, with additional feedback on the colored LEDs above the keyboard. Reaktor Blocks’ hardware modular-inspired tools get a nice hands-on companion. (But, if you’ve got a ton of Reaktor stuff, that should be fine.) This functionality is now workinghas in standalone mode. It’s Reaktor, so of course you could use any other controller, too, but having this out-of-the-box set up saves some time for extra patching – and this particular complement of controls I could see fitting a range of circumstances.
#REAKTOR BLOCKS TUTORIAL PATCH#
So it’s not a huge stretch to imagine first making some massive elaborate trippy electronica/techno patch in Reaktor, then using something like an S-25 to play it live. Now, I think the S-Series becomes a pretty ideal controller – keys, color feedback (which you can custom-program if you’re clever), touch strips, all those encoders, and now clock control, too.
This is cool, because Reaktor Blocks (and if you graduate to it, all the rest of Reaktor) give you an enormous amount of sonic possibility, but you’ll want some ability to get hands-on control. You can now control the clock module in Reaktor Blocks, thus giving you access to start/stop/tempo controls for any clock-based instrument or effect in Reaktor. This is almost an afterthought in this release, but to me, it’s the nicest feature so … the heck with it, I’m going to talk about it first. And Reaktor Blocks might be the winner here. The 1.8 release that came out yesterday takes a step in the right direction, with enhanced scale and mode support and enhanced integration with both Reaktor Blocks and Maschine. So Native Instruments’ Komplete Kontrol S-series of keyboards has got to do more.

Native Instruments Komplete instructor Dan Herbert shows you how to build subtractive and FM synthesizers using Blocks in this course excerpt video Watch above and make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel for more tutorials and live events. We decided to give you a teaser of what you can learn on the course – in the video above, instructor Dan Herbert shows you how to make both an FM and subtractive synthesizer from scratch. In our new online Native Instruments Komplete course we examine all aspects of Reaktor 6 including creating synths from scratch in the intuitive software. Last year Native Instruments announced the long-awaited Reaktor 6 and with it, the innovative Blocks – a modular-style synth, sequencer and effect designer.
