This covers some of the same territory as my Virtual Instruments tutorial but goes more in depth about the clock and modulo operations, as well as featuring a sequencer driver macro that syncs to the host.
Here's the link - it contains the ensemble and an instructional PDF. UPDATE: Link is now working. :-)
The instrument is very rudimentary. Don't expect to make music with it. Expect to learn some essential Reaktor skills. I'll be covering ways to use this knowledge in future tutorials. This will be on the exam, in other words. :D
Questions and comments are welcome.
If you find this useful, a small donation would be greatly appreciated. It's hard work writing clear, worthwhile documentation. Does 5 bucks sound reasonable?

Keep up the good work. I am looking foward to your future posts.
Glad you like it. I'll be posting another one prrrrrobably by the weekend.
cant wait to start crunching in reaktor thanks to the benevolence of your knowledge.
I just started "reaktor study" with my friends
and this will be a very big help.
Thank you so much for good work.
Do you think we should get the mag(virtual instruments) for more or the one you upload here is enough?
Thanks Peter. I have dreamed about such a resource without all the noise of user forums.
Gave you a bump in my blog which came from the mention in CDM. You'll probably be a popular guy soon. Anyway, I'll make a donation as soon as I get paid.
I just made my donation! I think this is a much needed resource that, as Brent said, doesn't have all the noise of forums. I would LOVE to see your work turn into a series of in-depth articles in VI - perhaps culminating in a "Reaktor for Dummies"?
I've been struggling with building in Reaktor on and off all year, not doing so well with the manual but struggling to reverse engineer existing ensembles - I don't learn well that way.
Your clock tutorial was great, however- fits the way I learn much better.
anonymous: if you can find a copy of the magazine it gives what I think is a pretty good overview of Reaktor, touching on clocks, sequencing, sampling, synthesis and putting it all together in an ensemble. Have a look at the ensemble I built for that article. The clock that drives the sequencer in that ensemble is a little different than the one in the simple clock demo.
Brent - thanks! What's your blog? I can't see it in your profile...
emulsion - thanks for the donation - much appreciated - the donations and feedback are encouraging and let me know that there's a demand for this stuff. The official manual is more of a reference than a method of learning, as you've found out, which is why I'm doing this.
Oh jeez, there's a link in your profile after all, Brent... you write for audiomidi.com? Very cool.
Thank you, this is just what I´ve been looking for. I cant understand Native Instruments unwillingness to make good and easy tutorials and manuals. I think its a disgrace.
They sure have alot to learn from yuou.
Keep up the good work.

I couldn't find 2nd tutorial on the magazine.
Am I missing something?
Or was it one time tutorial?
trying to access the file but I keep getting a 404 : (
Can you repost the PDF/.ens? The link doesn't work anymore :(.
Sorry guys - the link is working again now. I guess the Rapidshare 30 day limit without a download thing happened.
This may be a silly question, I am very new to reaktor, but I didn't fully understand the section on the seq driver structure. So in the SongPos structure, I rewired the SongPosition->
96 port (red) directly to pos (missing the seperator and event merger out) and played the instrument - stopped and started it etc. It seemed to function/sound the same. I guess I'm missing he point.
cheers!

oops .... in response to my previous question ....I figured how the song pos struct worked. When I bipassed the seperator, I was using the spacebar on to pause/unpause the songPos. As soon as I pressed the start/stop button twice it behaved as I expected and the first note is played whn the song was stopped. Thanks for such great tutorial!

Dont know if it's just my computer, but rapidshare wont let me download, apparently i'm already downloading files, but i'm not. Is this just my problem?
