We spoke with Dave, a developer who's been working on the Reaktor Blocks concept - a sort of virtual modular layer for Native Instruments Reaktor 6. We also got some time with Jan, who had a more complex working setup with beats, virtual and hardware modular all integrated into the performance.
Its also worth noting that Reaktor 6 is now available at the reduced price of €199 which makes it a bit of a steal. Remember Reaktor is the public facing development environment that NI use to create many of their final software instruments.
