THE easiest is to use reaktor as a vst plug-in in max.....

Tell me how this worked out for you. I am a Reaktor 5 user as well. I am running it as a VST inside Max/MSP no problem, but what I'm strugglig with is how to get it to load with an "ensemble" already loaded up in Reaktor wit its default Snap. Were you able to figure this out? The normal messages (read) and loadbang I use for my other VST effects to them to load presets is not working here.

I was also thinking of trying re-wire of some sort, running Reaktor as a standalonen with MAX/MSP...not sure if I want to run down that path yet.

as far as i can tell, using R4 & R5 in max as vst's work - you first 

load the chosen reaktor "shell" ( 8 outs, 2 outs etc) and then the 

at startup (of the patch) you have reaktor (the chosen flavor) as 

argument (if this does not work, not sure if reaktor is ok for this,

Thanks, Kasper. I thought I had tried this, but let me get some clarification from you since Reaktor is not as cut and dried as a basic VST. This is what I did in my patch, and I'll add some comments too:

I loadbang: plug "C/khartung/VST Effects/reaktor5.dll"

Comment: I uses this to load the Reaktor VST upon launch of MAX/MSP...works fine. I open it and see the Reaktor 5 shell. I have been manually loading my Reaktor ensembles and snaps (which I wrote prior to all of this)

I loadbang: read "C/khartung/VST Presets/reaktor.fxb"

Comment: Initially, I had opened Reaktor from MAX/MSP, I loaded my ensemble, then loaded my snap. Then I used the Write message to write the reaktor.fxb file. However, the above argument does not load the ensemble, so I tried the following:

I loadbang: read "C/khartung/Reaktor Ensembles/BlackbirdFX (FAV).ens"

"BlackbirdFX (FAV).ens" is the actual ensemble that I had saved a while back. Before I started using MAX/MSP I was using a another VST host (Chainer). Chainer must have had some programming that did all ths for me, because once I loaded Reaktor and my ensemble, that ensemble always loaded by default in the VST host, and I never had to save any fxb file to accomplish this.

Morover, the read comment above does not load the ensemble either.

Now the question is whether I have done what you recommend below.

I have a PC but no Reaktor (and work mainly on Mac as you know..), but 

if I look at the patch it might be a misstyping in there. It seems there 

was either a blank or return after .fxb... Maybe Windows will be 

confused with an extra white space at the end of a file name...

I really wish it had been that easy, Stefan. I double-checked and even re-typed the argument for the read message...no luck. But here is the weird thing. If I manually hit my "read" button and open the reaktor.fxb file, it opens the ensemble just fine. Now, why would I be able to do this, but loadbang can't do it via the read messsage and argument containing the pathway to the same file? I even tried removing loadband, and manually hitting the read button inside the vst patch...still did not work. I'm baffled.

Try the following: put the reaktor.fxb inside the search path, and then 

have just a [read reaktor.fxb] sent to vst~ (be sure that reaktor itself 

is loaded before... Also check that the filename itself doesn't 

accidentially has some "invisible" whitespace...)

If this doesn't work, rename the reaktor.fxb into something different 

My experience for baffling things which work on other places: its rarely 

a bug, it does have a reason but it can be very tricky to find that

I see, your in the hell of debugging -;)

A bit of a blast from the past here, but I am struggling with the same problem. On a pc, sending for instance the message: read D:/Reaktor/Library/Ensembles/New Additions/Synthesizer/2-Osc.ens to a [vst~] holding Reaktor5 doesn't load an ensemble. I will get an error message saying "Can't find.." and then the correct, un-f*cked-with file path.

Like Krispen I have also managed to correctly load the Reaktor5.dll plugin, but that still doesn't help much, if we can't remotely open the right ensembles.

Any progress with this since last year?

Hi.
When your ensemble is loaded in vst~, save it by sending the message "write"
(it will be saved as *****.fxb and not *****.ens).
The message "read *****.fxb" into [vst~ reaktor5.dll] will now load your
favorite ensembles ;)
Cheers.

For some strange reason using "read ***.fxb" didn't work... then I saved 

an ".fxp" and that definitely did the trick!

.fxp is a single preset, .fxb is a preset bank afaik.
