Welcome
to Reaktor Session One!
About Reaktor Session One
SESSION ONE is a special version of REAKTOR SESSION that gives
you a complete working version of the Carbon synth, one of the
many powerful instruments from the REAKTOR Library. Although SESSION
ONE is not able to load and play other REAKTOR instruments, Carbon
is 100% at your disposal. Every feature related to Carbon is completely
functional, both standalone and as a plug-in in your favorite
sequencer.
With
the full version of REAKTOR SESSION you get Carbon and more than
30 other first-class instruments, including synths, drum machines,
effects, live tools, and more.
Quickstart
When launching the program for the first time, you'll be greeted
with a dialog box where you can enter your soundcard and MIDI
configuration. Now you're ready to play! Note that you can change
your audio and MIDI configuration at any time from the Setup menu.
To
play sounds without any MIDI device connected, note that you can
trigger MIDI notes on your computer or laptop's keyboard simply
by pressing on the QWERY keys.
Snapshot Options
You
can browse through CARBON's snapshots with the menu in the instrument
title bar.
Alternatively,
you can open up the snapshot panel which gives you lots more control
over snapshot naming, randomization, and morphing. Simply click
on the little camera icon to the left of the snapshot menu. To
randomize a patch, select a randomization amount (lower values
generally work best, so you may want to start with a randomization
amount around 10-20) and click on the randomize button.
To
morph between two patches, first click on the Select A button
and select the first patch. Then click on Select B and select
the patch you want to morph to. Now when you move the morph slider
you'll hear the sount smoothly morph between the two sounds! The
Morph Time number box lets you specify the smoothing time between
the two morphs. The
little stairstep icons to the left and right of the morph slider
let you manually choose when all switches and buttons will be
morphed.
You
can save any sound you've created (be it by Randomization, Morphing,
or pure old-fashioned skill) simply by clicking either on the
Overwrite button and pressing return, or with the the Append button
(which adds the sound to the end of the bank).
To
save a bank of sounds, simply choose Save Bank from the BANKS
menu. Likewise, your bank of sounds can be loaded in the Load
Bank menu option in the BANKS menu. Note that your soundbank will
automatically be saved when you quit SESSION ONE, and automatically
reloaded the next time you start.
Browser Functionality
The Reaktor Session browser is used to easily load ensembles,
instruments, and samples. Since SESSION ONE cannot load any other
files, then the browser is not functional.
Total Recall in VST
Total Recall in VST is currently not working in SESSION ONE. Please
note that both REAKTOR and REAKTOR SESSION support full total
recall, but since the saving of ensembles is not possible in SESSION
ONE, then total recall in VST is not supported.
