Front and Back

Reaktor is great, but one thing that i dont like about it is the built in sample management, you have to create these ’sample maps’ to use your own samples but the UI for it is a bit rubbish, like an awful version of kontakt. so i built a tool to generate map files automatically.

UPDATED
I’ve built a new version in Java which is tested and working on both Windows and OSX. You can download the app here.

I’ll put the source up soon when I get a spare minute.

comments, suggestions, modifications are all welcome.

If you want the old version (ruby) for whatever reason then let me know.

You can read it right here

Now I need to think of ideas for some more. Any suggestions are welcome. (FM, sample playing / manipulation, control logic….anything..)

Part 2 of my Bidule Tutorials is now ready. This one carries on where the first one left off and introduces an LFO, a better Oscillator section, techniques for keeping your work organized and useful utilities that can be re-used in a variety of situations.
You can read it here.

Part 3 will arrive soon which will cover building a new filter section and adding a chorus effect to liven up the sound.
