What are your favourite Reaktor ensembles\synths etc? I'm just bought Reaktor 5 and wonder what's "hot" in the User library or elsewhere ...

Reaktor's Massive is totally insane but you have to have a way of mapping all the parameters to a nice controller (I mapped it to the Nocturn). Once you do and you start tweaking all those fields you'll appreciate how crazy and diverse a groove box it really is.
Limelite from EI2 is also one of my favs. But the same applies there you have to map all the knobs to be able to precisely manipulate all the parameters and you'll get tons of unique snippets just like with Massive.

SIAC has been a favourite in the past, but now I am all about the digital goodness that is:
V-waves 5.0
Handles much like Subtractor in Reason, ie dirt simple, but the Shift parameter combined with the wavetable is just so fucking filthy - for when Operator isn't digital enough

- I may modify the LFO a bit though, but other than that it's perfect for that glistening glassy tone.

Metaphysical Function for just fucking about with - can waste hours in there. Also Fast FX for fucking stuff up.

Check out the following designers in the User Library:

martin brinkmann
gabriel mulzer (g-Transcoder)
chris list
rick scott
dieter zobel
thomas goebel (FM81s and other FM greatness)

I've left tons of people out, but these are the first who come to mind off the top of my head who have really pushed the boundaries of what Reaktor can do.
