1. First steps in Reaktor Core - Native Instruments

The Latch and Bool C types of ports will be explained much later in this manual
and are used for advanced stuff. We are interested now only in the first type,
which is called “Out” (or “In” for inputs). It’s a general type of port that can
accept audio-, control-, event-, and logic-type signals. In fact, the port doesn’t
care whether it’s audio, control, event, or logic; the difference is important
only for you as a user, because it describes how the signal is to be used;
for Reaktor Core they are all the same. There is also no difference between
audio/event inputs/outputs as on the previous structure level, because we
don’t have Reaktor primary-level signals on the outside any longer, it is pure
Reaktor Core now. The first thing we are going to do is name the macro, which
is done in the same way as for core cells, by right-clicking on the background,
selecting Owner Properties, and typing in the name:
The remaining properties of the macro control various aspects of its appearance
and its signal processing.
While you are free to experiment with remaining properties as you see fit,
we strongly advise against turning the Solid parameter off. We also advise
changing the FP Precision sparingly. The meaning of these parameters
will be described in the advanced topics of this manual.
The next thing is to create a set of inputs and outputs for our Tape Delay
macro:
