PERFORMER + NATIVE INSTRUMENTS REAKTOR

 

 
Reaktor supports OSC natively – perfect for direct connection with PERFORMER!
(Note: “Reaktor” here refers to the full Reaktor program; the free Reaktor Player is no longer supported. More details.)

To set up the communication:

• Our friends at Twisted Tools made a nice tutorial video for PERFORMER and Reaktor set-up.

1. Open your chosen Ensemble in Reaktor.
2. Ensure that the Reaktor Engine is switched on.
   
3. In Reaktor, go to File -> OSC Settings…
4. In the OSC pop-up window, check the “Activate” box.
5. Make sure that the Local Port number in the upper right is the same as PERFORMER’s output OSC port number (set in PERFORMER’s preferences screen). 10000 is a good default number to use.
6. In PERFORMER’s main performance screen, move the Control Object around to send messages to Reaktor. In Reaktor’s OSC pop-up window, you should now see new message lines updating in the lower OSC Monitor area (check Monitor Options is set to “Append Line”).
   

Here’s a selection of Reaktor instruments that are ready-mapped for PERFORMER:

• Umox_KP
• Peter Dines’ Arcturan UltraTheremin
• Twisted Tools Scapes
• Steve Taylor’s Vektory Mod for KP
• Krypt 1.3 – Konkreet Performer OSC map
• elefOh_Performer

Alongside the ever growing amount of instruments that are being custom tailored to work with Performer, we leave it up to your creativity to choose how to distribute, convert, use and abuse these messages to control your instrument of choice.
