Does it have a DVD tutorial like absynth and kontakt?

its not really that type of program... reaktor isnt a synth... its a program with the ability to build synths. loads of people do this and so, you now can open other peoples work and make music with them.

more on why no DVD:

reaktor is an incredible program. like someone said earlier you have to understand synthesis or at least be interested in physics of sound. i looked heavily into synthesis recently, trying to expand my knowledge of the art and although this book was a little basic for me, i thought just how useful it would have been back in the day:

programming synthesizers: published through wizoo....

it's got a free reaktor synth in there and it talks you through everything really well... the guy even has a sense of humour (which i like in manuals/books hehe)

good luck man..

i just purchased reaktor 5 as well. but i am on a mac, i bought it for the vst's and presets, and since im still learning im gonna use it just for this, down the road i will learn it for synthesis, but until then im just gonna have fun with the vsts :D

I tried to get into it a few years ago. Its friggin powerful, but it rapes your cpu.

Its a wicked feeling when you wire something up and it works how you wanted!

I might have another crack at it, but I envisage more CPU crunching...
