I love seeing once-obscure methods and controls gain popularity through mass consumer adoption. I wish that could've happened for the (Roland) D-Beam and breath control, but on other fronts, I enjoy knowing accelerometers and multi-touch are accessible via the iPhone and other devices influenced by it. In a parallel vein, "effects playable as notes" is an incredibly simple, powerful notion. And closely related, to, say, keyswitching between articulations for orchestral sample sets (and synthies like Melohman). But implementations continue to evolve — so with each tool that brings, shapes it forth in a unique vision (Tim Exile + NI has certainly got cred!), the more innovation can be founded upon this bedrock. I dare not say it'll one day be as ubiquitous as pedal stomp effects, but awareness is growing. Power to those who can take a foundation of deep maths and top it with controls suited for realtime performance.

@ Pete
you’re right…he has given the library quite a few things…didn’t mean to come off like that…if anything i feel not for not contributing anything to the library myself…i’m quite behumbled knowing that my creations don’t even add up to whatever tim’s put on the lib. but i still certainly appreciate the contributions on the lib.
i’m a reaktor 5 fan…paid my money for it…just want to make sure that it keeps giving back to me…:D:D

Thanks for 3.5 minutes of useless noise, Richard.

Lucifer2 is still in private development…Steve sells it on request. It’s still the best

Finger is a now old idea repackaged, Reaktor patches aside (and really, they were hardly as ‘friendly’ as Lucifer or Artillery)

Awful bloody name too..

@elmech

Reaktor has been around longer than the Artiller plugin.

NI didn’t build Tim Exile’s Reaktor patch. Tim built Tim’s Reaktor patch.

@k1ru: Unlike the Reaktor User Library, people who don’t own Reaktor can use this — via Kore Player, for instance. I think if you really want a tool to be free, then you should make it entirely free — e.g., use Pd / SuperCollider / ChucK / Csound, etc., all of which have free licenses. If you want to commercialize your creation, then that’s your choice. Tim, for his part, has done quite a lot of sharing of ensembles (including in the User Library), techniques, and the like – I’ve never known him not to be generous with his knowledge.

@Rchard L.: Yes, now that you mention it, Edison sounds correct. Thanks for pointing that out.

As I hope you were getting from my comments, that creativity isn’t always about creating something new from thin air. I’d almost say it rarely, or even never is. I believe it is usually incremental, based on previous knowledge & work, when a new association is sudden visible.

Some of the greatest innovations in the history of mankind were the result of taking existing ideas & technologies, and putting them together in a new way or sequence. For example, Gutenberg’s printing press were all components he didn’t invent, he just put them all together in one system, and mankind changed forever.

What’s this ‘The Now Wave’ about? Most google results seem to jus tpoint to Tim’s song.
