Your English is fine! I'm happy to say, I spent the entire weekend fooling around with this. And I've had great success. You definitely have to upgrade to Logic 4.6 and Reaktor 2.3.3 (the latest). I'm not sure when emagic came out with the Audio Instrument object - but whatever version you have will need this object. Trust me, though, Logic 4.6 and Reaktor 2.3.3 are very stable together and worth the trouble for upgrading. Then all you need to do is to create the following folder in your Program Filesemagiclogic folder: VstPlugIns I next ran the Reaktor 2.3.3 updater and told it to do a "Stand Alone VST" installation ("custom setup"). Reaktor will ask your where to drop it's files and you tell it the location described above. From that point on, after launching Logic, you simply click on an insert in the Audio Instrument object in the Track Mixer and pick the vst Reaktor instrument. Double click the insert to open Reaktor inside of Logic. Reaktor ALWAYS comes up with no ensemble loaded - You'll have to have Reaktor load one. I've gotta say, I've been completely mesmerized by this set up. I've got Logic Plantinum and You wouldn't believe what Reaktor sounds like going through the Spectral Gate and the Platinum Reverberator!!!!! Cheers! Scott
