Any sound generator in Reaktor can be modified to give MIDI note control over the output level. Here's how to do it in Spacedrone:
Easy peasy. An ADSR envelope multiplies the signal going to the output. You can also use a selective note gate module instead of a vanilla gate module so only one specific note will trigger output. Adjust the attack, decay, sustain and release to taste.
Download the modded ensemble here. (oops, link was broken, should work now)
If you're looking for an interesting way to manipulate recorded samples of Spacedrone or other audio material, try my sampler pack.
UPDATE: added pitch control too. It doesn't work the way a normal synth would because the pitches of individual voices have a random factor but you can control the range.



Will this work with Reaktor Player?
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid not... you'll need the full version.
ReplyDeleteReaktor player only works with ensembles that have been specially enabled for it by Native Instruments.
since this complete gem of a tutorial. i've been modding some of my favourite generative ensembles to make them midi playable. what a treat!!!
ReplyDeletePeter - This is very cool. Space Drone is one of my favorite ensembles and your mod makes it playable.
