or design of the module. Generally, port-type switch<strong>in</strong>g should work; hence<br />

the follow<strong>in</strong>g switch<strong>in</strong>g rule:<br />

In a well designed core cell, an audio-rate control <strong>in</strong>put can typically<br />

be switched to event mode without any problem. An event <strong>in</strong>put can<br />

be switched to audio only if it doesn’t have a trigger (or other eventsensitive)<br />

function.<br />

Another way to save CPU is to disconnect the outputs that you don’t need,<br />

thereby deactivat<strong>in</strong>g unused parts of the <strong>Reaktor</strong> <strong>Core</strong> structure. You have to<br />

do that from <strong>in</strong>side the structure – outside connections do not have any effect<br />

on deactivat<strong>in</strong>g the core structure elements.<br />

Suppose <strong>in</strong> our example we decide that we only need the sawtooth and pulse<br />

outputs. We can lower the CPU usage by go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>side the MultiWave Osc and<br />

disconnect<strong>in</strong>g the unused outputs. Disconnect<strong>in</strong>g is simple <strong>in</strong> <strong>Reaktor</strong> <strong>Core</strong>,<br />

you click on the <strong>in</strong>put port of the connection, drag the mouse to the any empty<br />

part of the background and release it. For example, click on the <strong>in</strong>put port of<br />

the Tri output and drag the mouse <strong>in</strong>to empty space on the background.<br />

There’s another way to delete a connection. Click on the wire between the<br />

s<strong>in</strong>e output of the MultiWave Osc and S<strong>in</strong> output of the core cell, so that it<br />

gets selected (you can tell that it’s selected by its blue color):<br />

Now you can press the Delete key to delete the wire:<br />

After you deleted both wires, the CPU meter should go down a little more.<br />
