On a related note: my wish-list of the things I’d like to see in Reaktor…
1) Fully optimised FFT, in Core
2) Lower CPU use (!)
3) Some more experimental functions (like a version of Absynth’s Wave Morph… that has revolutionised my technique since I got it)
4) Some Core-based vintage synth emulations, there are a few online but there’s not much modeling going on
5) More of those amazingly experimental bundled Ensembles!

This has heaps of potential.

Is it really freeware or is it just free while it’s pre-release?

This thing looks pretty promising.

For now it’s pretty limited and unpredictable ( a panic button anyone ?) but I see a lot of potential in that work, especially when considering the rise of touch screens in the consumer market.

Hey that’s my program :) Glad to see it start making rounds!

In reply to PetitZozo:

the rendering of the signals can easily be switched off if need be, other than that the rendering of a pretty large scene takes about 1% of the CPU on my laptop (2ghz duo).

I mean its essentially drawing 2 triangles per node and the texture is already loaded on the card so I can’t image a faster way to do it, I’m pretty sure whatever method Reaktor uses to draw its knob and whatnot is MUCH slower!

Being a freeware enthusiast, to put it mildly, and owning a touchscreen I’m going to have to give this a try. In fact, the creator posted about it on KVR so I wandered over here to see what ya’ll had to say about it.

Wow this was very cool…

I mean i didn’t really know what i was doing.. but it was a lot of fun playing notes and moving the nodes around… i assume thats where the ReacTable bit fits??? I could see lotsa potential there… maybe connect it to two nintendo wii controllers and play air hockey with a friend… see how the sound turns out?

Look forward to a nice working VSTi version!

Forgive my ignorace - but can you do this sort of stuff in Max or PD?

Wow, this one has a lot of potential. Rendering an interface in 3D isn’t very processor intensive if you can offload it all to the video card. Hopefully, he can get this project off the ground.
