The free, limited version called Reaktor Player allows musicians to play NI-released Reaktor instruments, but not edit or reverse-engineer them.
==Development history== ===Early development=== In 1996, Native Instruments released Generator version 0.96 – a modular synthesizer for PC, requiring a proprietary audio card for low-latency operation. By 1998, Native Instruments redesigned the program to include a new hierarchy, and integrated third-party drivers for use with any standard Windows sound card. By 1999, Reaktor 2.0 (a.k.a. Generator/Transformator) was released for Windows and Macintosh. Integrated real-time display of filters and envelopes and granular synthesis are among the most notable features. With the release of software version 2.3 in 2000, plug-in support for VST, VSTi, Direct Connect, MOTU, and DirectX formats was integrated.
