Geek Synthesis

Wanting to learn a bit more about programming synthesizers and effects Reaktor is a good place to start.



I’ve been messing around with Native Instrument's Reaktor for the past couple of days and have merely scratched the surface of its complex and endless possibilities. To get me started i followed this tutorial (http://electrictrumpet.com/SympleSynth/index.htm). This was actually one of those tutorials thats really easy to follow, i everything worked perfectly i didnt have to go back and make any changes to get the thing working.


Heres a screen shot of the synthesizer



It takes you through the basics of creating a synthesizer and has left me wanting to learn more.


Reaktor is amazing! don’t need much programming knowledge and i found its system of Modules, Macros, Instruments, and Ensembles really easy to pick up and understand.


Heres a screen shot of the synthesizer’s structure



The ability to create macros that can contain modules really tidies up the structure of your instrument and makes it easy to each part of the synthesizer.


This is the structure of the oscillator 1 macro



I want to look into Outsim’s synth maker and also Synthedit, witch are both well known programs!
