Although making a voice-controlled version of "Reaktor" would be very
interesting, and is most likely the technology in "the mouth." (see
the "powered by reaktor" in the URL for starters).... Much like
Traktor is basically the Reaktor engine reskinned for DJ/sample
playback use; and many sample-players out there are just reskinned
"Kontact" with different samples.... where Kontact might well the
reaktor engine reskinned for sample playback. That's pretty smart of
them to develop a single "infrastructure"  product that can be
repackaged into so many totally different looking sub-products.

The bigger question is how can Native Instruments be based in Germany,
and not support linux?
