First off, make sure the ‘Edit Mode’ box is on. Since the Reaktor environment is often used simply to open projects created by others, a few options should be switched on before you start building your own projects. If you haven’t already, open Reaktor and create a new ensemble. With that in mind, let’s put together an extremely quick oscillator macro in Reaktor. These waveforms make up the sound sources of most synthesizers, while the other modules we’ll discuss today shape the sound of the oscillators in various ways. The most common types are sine wave, triangle wave, sawtooth and square waves (also called pulse waves).
Reaktor 6 how to#
This first How To Build A Synth In Reaktor tutorial assumes that the reader has not built anything in Reaktor yet.īy necessity, I’m going to cover a lot of very basic building stuff to start out, so bear with me, I’ll pick up the pace as soon as possible! OSCILLATORSįirst, we’re going to build a very basic Oscillator macro.Īn OSCILLATOR is a basic piece of any synthesizer that makes a waveform that repeats at a given frequency (usually determined by the note pitch of incoming MIDI notes). To start out, let’s quickly cover the basics of each component of a subtractive synth, and make a basic macro for each in Reaktor. We have a lot of ground to cover between now and then so let’s get down to it. However, in future tutorials this project will be expanded into a full-blown synth complete with it’s own customized waveforms and filters, built from the ground up. As such the end product will not be very complex nor will it be very musical – building a good synth is a lot of work! This first tutorial will focus on the very basic aspects of building in Reaktor, and creating the bare bones of a synth structure. No prior use or understanding of the Reaktor environment is assumed, and I will do my best to explain every single aspect of the synth from the ground up.
Reaktor 6 series#
Welcome! This tutorial is the first of a series that will teach the absolute beginner the basics of building a subtractive synth in Reaktor. The first in a series of tutorials, How To Build A Synth In Reaktor – A beginners guide will teach an absolute beginner the basics of building a subtractive synth in Reaktor.
