Yeah, really... RTFM

Reaktor is not the sort of thing you will learn by
getting a few tips on a MB. Not menaing to be harsh, but
this is the equivalent of saying "Can someone here teach me
CSound" and expect someone to be able to comprehensively
train you in a few dozen lines.

All that said, here's my 5 point guide:
1.read the manual,
2.play with the examples,
3. realise that unless you're prepared to spend more time on
it than you would learning a normal instrument or you at
least know a hell of a lot about synthesis already,
you will never make a patch anywhere near the quality of the
ones provided.
4.Stick to using the examples.
5.When you get the hankering for custom modular synths, use
Vaz modular instead.

Ambsace, absynth is a fisher price toy in terms of ease of
use in comparison to reaktor! (although bear in mind I've
only used reaktor 3 extensively and reaktor 4 is meant to be
a lot more user friendly)

well I want a program with which one can create one's own
synths.. I hate those cheesy "pads" that come wiht most
programs.. it's like all the work is done for you already..
I'll be able to learn these programs and use them well.. but
is this the best program for this purpose? what other
purposes is this program good for? is logic good too?

here,
what do you use the following programs for, or what can they
be good for:

Cubase SX
Logic
Reaktor

I'm months away from a contract so I'll need to be in top
condition ;

please answer as many of these questions as you can.. your
responses will be very informative!!

Logic and Cubase are sequencers and aren't designed to build
your own synths with.

Reaktor is a program designed to build your own synths,
sequencers and FX. You can do this by connecting "modules"
(virtual boxes which represent the bits and pieces that are
in a device) and macros (several properly wires modules to
make things easier) to eachother.

(very!)simple instrument: connect a pitch module to the "P"
input of an oscillator and a gate module to the "A" input of
an oscillator. Connect the output of the oscillator to the
audio out, turn on the engine(num pad 0 I believe) and play

I thought a sequencer was a hardware tool
