there things that you are not able to there, and also things that can be done, but not in any elegant way (hard to patch, because there are no ways to generate patches. you need to use mouse for everything. or some things are possible to do, but would be killing 777x more resources than the algorithm would really need, because in reaktor you can set oversampling for whole patch/ensemble only. cannot have oversampling only in some macros/subpatches...)...

for such things it's better just to make it in pure data, supercollider, csound, max/msp, ... ... there are many other modular enviroments for audio. i value reaktor mainly because it's very user-friendly.
once i had things in puredata prepared for whole concert. took me week to patch all those things and prepare them, and when i got into the city where i was going to play i found that i forgot all the patches at home (copied wrong directory). had to redo all of it, and did that in 2 days in reaktor (the same thing that took me week in pure data)...since then i think twice before starting doing anything, and use reaktor almost for everthing, and use the other software only when needed. . . it saves me time...

Yes you can do fft ...made with the core modules ....the pack includes a 256 band fft vocoder and phase vocoder ( similar to prosoniq morph )etc..

About reaktor , I'v just recently bought a used license for a good price , Altough I am verry happy with reaktor it is verry difificult for me to integrate it in my workflow .
There are tons of drummachines in the user library but I hardly ever use them because I do my programming /arranging in renoise ...at least that works much better for me , ...there are some drummachines that use synthesis instead of samples ..I prefer those and just delete the sequencer engine and use it as a soundsource sequenced from within renoise .
Because loading reaktor as a vst with somesequencer ( drummachines) can cause some sync problems with the host .also they consume way more cpu than an optimised vst
The reaktor based synths can sound from mediocre to excellent depending on the developer ...there are a few reaktor creators out there that are really pure genius , sonic twist , lazyfish , martin brinkmann , programchild , martijn zwartjes to name a few .
I just wish N.I. solved the sync problem and/or added rewire suport
OOh yeah chech these out
