SynthOne is a digital replica of a simple 6-voice analog synthesizer. It contains one oscillator, a 24dB low-pass filter, an LFO, and an ADSR envelope for both amplitude and filter cutoff frequency. For anyone new to synthesis, this Reaktor module is a great place to start, as it’s almost impossible to find yourself lost. Once you learn SynthOne, you can move on to other, more sophisticated modules. And while you’re experimenting, if you happen to come up with a sound you really like, it’s easy to save it!
Open the Snapshots window by clicking on the camera icon in the SynthOne toolbar, which opens the snapshot window. The Snapshots window is used for managing (saving, renaming, deleting, etc.) the actual snapshots, which are much like the programs and presets found in other programmable synths. Click the Append button twice to save your current snapshot to the first empty slot in the snapshots list. Reaktor automatically gives it a name, so to give it your own name, simply double-click on the current name, type your own name, and then press the Enter or Return key.
