NEXT STEPS

After working through this guide, you are familiar with the workflows involved in building a synthesizer using REAKTOR Blocks in the Rack format. However, REAKTOR Blocks offer much more than we could cover here, so we recommend you dive in and explore it by yourself. If you need inspiration or more information on specific features and functions, check out the resources below, including the comprehensive Reaktor Blocks Manual.

Tutorial Racks

The free Blocks Base product comes with a number of Tutorial Racks that show specific synthesizer techniques in a focused and clear way.

Open the REAKTOR Browser by clicking on the magnifier icon in the header. Then click the Library tab and go to the following folder: Blocks Base > Racks > Tutorial. From there, you can load any of the Tutorial Racks by dragging them into the Panel area.
