hi
 
does anybody know how to use native instruments the finger, i have reaktor 5 which is needed to host the finger ensemble.
 
it's an effect plug in that uses midi to trigger various effect parameters.
 
i'm just not sure how to insert it and get a midi track sent to it ( no sonar insertion methods listed in manual)
 
any ideas please?
 
regards

Jimmy,
 
One example is to insert it in the FX bin of your master bus - but the way you do it is to insert the Kore(2) FX as a synth in the FX bin.
 
Once it's there, create a MIDI track and assign it to that synth.   You can then control it via MIDI notes/CC/etc just like any other synth. 
 
This is one example where inserting a "synth" as an FX is handy.
 
One problem I found with The Finger is that it doesn't save the actual level setting, so if you reload your project, you have to open Kore(2) and set the level there or you won't hear anything on the Master Bus.
 
You can, of course, insert as above on any bus or track as well.
 
It's a very cool plugin -- I hope they fix this level bug.

I saw a demo video of "the finger" a while ago.. to me it looked like something you would use a lot in live performances.. not so much recording

You mean while driving in a car, right? Well then you would...

1. Roll down the window.
2. Stick your left arm out the window.
3. Extend your middle digit.
