Modifying a REAKTOR Ensemble
Swapping the Delay Instrument for a Reverb Instrument
Fig. 4.15 The Delay is switched off
Switches like this not only Mute the Instrument, they also conserve CPU resources. So if you used this Ensemble in a DAW, and used the DAW’s Effects, it would make sense to turn the switch off.
4.4.5Snapshot Flexibility
Of course if you change the Snapshots in the StereoTDelay Instrument, you will have a choice of different Delay effects without changing the Synth Snapshot. So having different Instruments, with different Snapshots adds to the flexibility, and having a Snapshot Mas ter, means being able to change the Snapshots on more than one Instrument!
4.5Swapping the Delay Instrument for a Reverb Instrument
So we like the Junatik Synth but instead of having a Delay effect we want to try it with a Reverb. That means we will need to substitute the Delay for one of REAKTOR’s Reverbs.
4.5.1Opening a REAKTOR Structure
To do that, we need to have a look at the Structure of the Ensemble. ▪ Click on the Structure button in the Sidepane.
Fig. 4.16 The Structure button
This will open the Ensemble Structure.

Modifying a REAKTOR Ensemble
Swapping the Delay Instrument for a Reverb Instrument
Fig. 4.17 Ensemble Structure of Junatik
As you can see the Junatik Synth is connected to the StereoTDelay. The L (Left) and R (Right) Outputs of the Junatik are connected to the L and R Inputs of the StereoTDelay. The L and R Outputs from the StereoTDelay are connected to the Audio Out Terminals.
Soon we are now going to use the Browser to insert a Reverb Instrument into the Ensemble Structure. This will be connected to the Junatik Instrument. But before that, we need to remove the StereoTDelay from the Structure.
4.5.2Removing an Instrument from the Structure
To remove the Delay from the Structure of this Ensemble:
1.Right-click if you are on Windows® ([Ctrl]+click if you are on Mac OS® X) on the StereoTDelay Object in the Structure Window—this will open a context menu.
2.Highlight the Delete menu entry with your mouse and click on it. This will remove the Instrument from the Structure.
