Over the past year I've been learning to build instruments and ensembles with Native Instruments' Reaktor 5. I love it - it's beautifully designed, it sounds amazing, and there are all sorts of instruments to download from the NI user library.
At the same time, I haven't found many books or deep online tutorials about Reaktor, beyond simple stuff like constructing a basic subtractive synth. That seems a bit of a shame, because R5's such a good way to explore synth design and electronic sound.
So I started exploring R5 while using it in my own tracks. And I thought I might try to share some of what I've discovered, in case it has any value for other people. So I've started this video diary. It's going to be a little bit freeform, and I'm no grand master, but I suppose it still might be useful to people who are getting to grips with what Reaktor can do.
I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to drop me a line with your feedback. Thanks!
Dave

I've just discovered this blog and it seems really nice!!
it's for sure that I'll take much advantage from your blog!
thanks a lot!
this is all i ever wanted!because first on my own and second because i have poor knowledge.
thanks very much, and keep going on please!!!!!!!
thanks a million
Excellent!
Thanks very much for doing this! I've owned Reaktor for a couple of years but apart from using ensembles downloaded from the NI site I haven't gotten further than creating a simple subtractive synth. This is a great resource.
Thanks, grimley.
This seems to be just what I need.
Sadly, I can only watch the videos from ReSynthisis onwards. For my means, I need to watch the earlier videos.
HOW CAN I WATCH THE EARLIER TUTORIALS?
PS Thanks to all at The Musem of Techno for their endeavours. I am very keen to learn how my Akai MPC2500 evolved from it's "steam powered" forbearers!
Evening sir (or good morning, or whatever time it is in Blighty).
Having hit the big 3-0, I decided that I need to spend the next decade becoming a massive expert on sound design. Seemed a fairly obvious decision.
So, thank you for making this blog. It may actually be the first blog I have ever become interested in, and one which I will read through with pleasure.
Big fan of Cornwell and Braidy too.
Cheers!
I use commercial fm synths all the time... Sytrus,FM8, Ableton Operator... I need fm effect which use one audio input as modulator and second as carrier. I don't know to program in reactor but i will learn if you tell me if anything similar is possible... In that way i can use Ableton envelopes in clip to modulate parameters of commercial synths esepcialy simple Operator and interact between 100 operators if I wish.... TNX
