This guide explains how to load instruments and effects in Reaktor.

You’ll learn how to open ensembles in standalone mode or load Reaktor as a plug-in within your DAW.

Using the Player Browser

1. Open the Reaktor software in standalone mode or as a plug-in in your DAW. The standalone application is installed in this location:
   
   Mac: Macintosh HD > Applications > Native Instruments > Reaktor 6
   Windows: C: > Program Files > Native Instruments > Reaktor 6
   

   
   

2. Click the Play column on the Start Screen.

   Note: If the Start Screen does not appear, the browser is automatically available. The Start Screen can be enabled in Reaktor Preferences > General > On startup.

3. The Player browser displays all Reaktor instruments and effects that are installed.

   Note: Click the magnifying symbol if the Player browser does not appear.

4. Scroll through the upper section of the Player browser to select a Reaktor instrument or effect. Clicking the plus (+) icon expands the folder and shows the instrument file. In this example this is TRK-01.ens.
   
5. Double click the Reaktor instrument file to open it. Alternatively, the instrument file can be dragged to the right.
