For modulation and gate signals, the ES-6 works perfectly with Reaktor and Blocks, sending CV straight into the Blocks via the ES-6. Tracking of pitch signals will not be 100% accurate in this use case since there is currently no solution for calibration. What I want to do is for bi-directional CV, so for example, sending clock divisions from Reaktor to the ES3 which would feed René the gate/CV from René feeding into the ES6 which could then go back into Reaktor. Pitch and IFM index controlled by 8 Steps sequencers.īeni Shoga wrote:I want to know if the ES6, which is the input counterpart to the ES3, will play just as well in such a setup.

Voice 3: Cyclebox II in mode 0000, going into two chained channels on the QMMG, struck by an 8 Steps sequencer (again, its variable gate length comes in handy).

Pitch and glide are provided by another sequencer.

Voice 2: Res-4 pinged directly from 8 Steps sequencer (its variable gate length is handy for this).

The Bento Box Env is controlling the Gain on the Optodist. Pitch and wavetable position controlled by 8 Steps sequencers.

Voice 1: e350 going into an Optodist and a Toppobrillo Multifilter, with some broken echo added by a Phonogene.

A Bento Box Env is providing additional modulation via the ES-3.

The sequencers are clocked and reset from three Util Note In Blocks (we didn't have the clock divider ready when I shot this video).

In Reaktor, five Bento Box 8 Steps sequencers send their pitch, gate, and velocity signals out to the Eurorack synth via the ES-3, and additionally disturb each other in interesting ways by cross-modulation of the the global sequencer parameters (DIRECTION, STEPS, OFFSET).

Obviously tracking is not perfectly accurate without calibration - in my case it was off 1 semitone over 4 oct. Since its output voltage range is roughly ☑0 V you get approximately 1 V/oct. The pitch scaling in Reaktor Blocks (value of 0.1/oct) plays nicely with the ES-3.

No quantization used on the hardware side.All signals from Reaktor Blocks are directly fed to the Eurorack modules via DC-coupled converters (Expert Sleepers ES-3).My chair apparently thinks I should lose some weight.Maschine joins the party with bass drum, hi-hats, and rim shot. All sequencing and modulation is coming from Reaktor Blocks, except for some humble human interaction.

Several Bento Box 8 Steps sequencers are disturbing each other and controlling an Eurorack synth. I am working for NI and have been closely involved with Blocks, so take this as a disclaimer that I have somewhat of a bias here. Here's a video I made using an early prototype of Reaktor Blocks and my Eurorack synth.
