Ok, it seems I’ll be busy beta testing Native Instruments Reaktor 5.5 as well alongside FL Studio 9.5! As a registered user of Reaktor, I have an opportunity to test out the v5.5 and there seem to be some very nice improvements: First of all there’s new GUI which looks cool! Secondly there’s two new modules (additive, modal) that CPU optimization is far higher than what could be reached with Core or Primary, thus making complex (rather than just academic) additive and modal synthesis possible. The 5.5 audio engine has more new features than one can easily see. A major part of the underlying 5.1.5 code has been changed/optimized: the low-level interface, the audio drivers, the sample-rate converters, the drawing functions of the GUI, and lots more. AND registered users get (for free!) the complete Electronic Instruments I and II packs, with several of the ensembles therein updated for 5.5. That’s a LOT of cool sounds I can tell ya!
