I use Reaktor 5, but I am probably not usuing it to its full potential, you know?

I haven't tried constructing my own synths yet... but you really don't need to to enjoy the software.

if you're not really familiar with the effects of different oscillators, envelopes, etc (in general) - I'd just recommend selecting a preset on a synth, then using the "randomise" function to see what changes on the panel, and how it changes the overall sound. But don't use the 100 value - prolly just like 30 (for the 'randomize' level)
