Re: Expert Sleepers ES-8 and Reason

But to have REASON CV in AND out (more resources to shape the sound) as a modulator gotta be something. And, ES-8's 96K Audio rate is also nice to have. And, THATS why I need a portable (3-4U) Rack. One thing to watch out for with the ES-8 is that you have to make sure your case is deep enough to f...

Re: Expert Sleepers ES-8 and Reason

Now I have one last problem you may be familiar with, on Reason's hardware interface the usual audio outputs are now there with the CV cables next to them, and my audio output from Reason has died. Am I expecting too much to have both CV going out and audio going out at the same time? You have to s...

Re: Expert Sleepers ES-8 and Reason

I have an ES-8 but I'm using it with a mac. I'm assuming you have it plugged in correctly and installed the windows drivers. If you go into your Reason "preferences" in the "Audio" tab. You should be able to change your "Audio Device" to the ES-8. Under "Active Input Channels" and "Active Output Cha...

Re: RE for multiple CVs to pass through, but limit number let through?

If you can use the gate outs from kong to trigger your drums you can put a scales and chords player on kong, place both inside of a combinator and then map a rotary in the combinator to the custom scale parameter of the scales and chords player. Turning the rotary changes the notes in your custom sc...

Re: Make it go slower!

I was playing around with making drones with Europa and I remembered this thread. For devices with tempo/beat syncable LFOs you can set Reason's tempo as low as 1 BPM. In Europa's case you can get an 8 Bar cycle LFO which combined with a slow tempo setting was slow enough for what I was doing.

I included the Reason and Reaktor files so you can see the technique I'm using. In Th...

Re: Feeling played by Reason's Players

The players are great for making generative music. If you throw them in a combinator you can use CV automation for turning players on and off and changing the scale range and note repeats on the fly. Scales and chords is great for pads or for routing to the arpeggiator. edit: they're also useful for...

Re: Why isn't synthesis and sampling combined in Reason yet?

I would take a look at the Polar RE https://www.propellerheads.se/en/reason/rack-extensions/polar it seems like it does a bunch of what you're looking for. It's not as simple as having it in the same synth, but it's pretty simple to either drag it into your insert or right after your synth and have ...

Re: In Nostromo, how should I be choosing from the thousands of waveforms?

According to the manual it looks like the waveforms are taken from https://www.adventurekid.se/AKRTfiles/A ... index.html but I don't think the category mappings are 1 to 1. It would be nice to have a "view as frequency spectrum/waveform" toggle for waveforms picker.

Probably the lowest hassle way to do what you're looking for would be to use https://shop.propellerheads.se/product_bundle/cv-io-bundle/ to go straight between your modular and Reason. This is just for non-pitch CV data. If you want pitch tracking you should use https://shop.propellerheads.se/rack-e...

Re: multi input reaktor vst

You have to use the Reaktor VST under effects rather than in instruments.
The instrument version only supports channels 1 and 2, but the effects version should have all the inputs enabled.
Hope that helps!

That must be one beefy machine they're using or I'm hoping they have a new version of Reason with better VST performance.

You should be able to get the pitch to track correctly if you replace that level block with a pitch block in Reaktor. Route the audio out from Thor to the audio in for Reaktor. Route that audio in to the pitch block in. Run the calibration with the pitch block and it should level the pitch output fr...

Re: How start/stop PSQ1684 with PSQ1684

This can be done with a single instance of PSQ by using pulses to mute other pulses. Say you have your 8 sequencers routed to different instruments and you want to turn all of them on an off at the same time. You set aside a pulse that's not being used for your sequencers then in the mod matrix you ...

Re: How should I control Buffre Beat Repeater?

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but it seems like the Buffre trigger doesn't turn off unless the trigger signal crosses 0. So a regular gate signal where a 0 value means off would still keep Buffre on. An ugly workaround would be to wrap Buffre in a combinator, use One-Note Stand (free RE http...

You can do this by setting division to 1 and set width to 100. I take the output for that pulse, and connect...
