There are some ensembles in Reaktor which involve working with samples, for example Beatslicer (in New Additions->Sample Player). Here, there is a bar above the sample window which shows the directory path of the sample being worked on, and to load a new sample you right click it and a menu appears enabling you to access a file picker. This works perfectly in standalone Reaktor. However, when I load Reaktor as a VSTi in Sonar, nothing happens when I right click on this bar. Therefore there is no way to load a sample. There are a few other ensembles which also require right clicking to load a sample, and it's the same deal: works fine in standalone, totally disabled in Sonar.
 
Does anyone have any ideas?  

I use reaktor, I'll have to give it a try and see if it works.

I have not tried this, but what happens if you check that little keyboard picture at the top right of the synth window for Reaktor?  It is supposed to give all keystrokes to the plugin.  Maybe that would allow that particular functionality to be accessed.

Had me all excited for a minute there Bob...unfortunately it doesn't work. I'm wondering if the only way to work with these ensembles would be to load the sample in standalone mode, save it as a Reaktor preset and then load the preset in the DAW version. 
 

That's a bummer.  Sorry I accidentally cheered you up.  :)
 
I have not worked with Reaktor presets of that nature, so have not encountered that sort of thing.  I have SOOOO many synths and presets I have never even listened to, it's amazing.  I have been chipping away at it though, previewing chunks of presets for various synths, and building a set of docs with the ones I like, so I can pull them up faster when I am looking for just that 'right' sound for a project.

I'm the same...had Reaktor for over a year now and there are so many of the library ensembles that I've just never tried, particular the sample manipulating ones, and I'm just starting to discover how cool many of them are. 

Yeah - I LOVE Reaktor, I just get so wrapped up in some of the sounds that I never finish going through the rest of them.
 
Thanks for being the trail blazer here, and finding all the quicksand for me.  :)

These days we have access to so many different sounds, I doubt we'll ever get around to using them all. And of course, the endless possibilities available for making your own sounds...

Or in the case of Reaktor, making your own synths....

YEAH - I got THAT kind of time! :)
