1. First steps in Reaktor Core - Native Instruments

Now the reset works as specified.
The last thing we have to do is ensure the correct initialization, which of course
requires defining what is the correct initialization. Let’s take a look at how the
above structure is going to be initialized.
If the initialization event is sent simultaneously from the In and Rst inputs
of the core cell top-level structure, and also from the implicit zero constant
at the value input of the Latch, then the Latch triggered by the Rst input will
send a value of zero to the second input of the Merge, overriding whatever
value arrives at the first input of the Merge. Therefore, zero will be written
into the internal state and sent to the output – perfect!
There’s one little problem with that, however. It could be that the initialization
event doesn’t arrive at one or both of the ports. That could be because the
initialization event didn’t arrive at the corresponding input of the event core cell
or because this macro is used in a more complicated Reaktor Core structure
that also doesn’t get the initialization event on all its wires (we will learn how
that can be arranged later). So we need to do a last final modification to the
structure to make it more universal.
Go to the properties of the Merge module and change the number of inputs
to 3.
Now, even if there was no event arriving at the Rst input, the implicit zero
constant at the third input of the Merge would still send an initialization event,
producing the correct output and initial state values.
Let’s try out our new event accumulator by building the following primary level
structure using the newly created Event Accum module.
