Re: Most tactile controller

So it's taken me a while to come back around to this, but I've decided the Nektar P1 and had probably a dumb question. If you can't automate it within Reason, you're probably not able to automate it with a control surface right? Specifically I'm thinking about how there's some parameters you can't r...

Re: Most tactile controller

These look cool. How does mapping Reason parameters to the controller's knobs work? For example, if I use the MPD218 with Kong, would I be able to control the drum patches' macro parameter settings (pitch, decay, bus/aux sends, pan, tone, level)? I've only ever used keyboard MIDI controllers so this...

Most tactile controller

I'm looking for a MIDI controller that works well with Reason, especially for drums/percussion. I feel like to really have the most fun with Kong, NN-XT, and so on I need something very hands on, where I can twist and turn parameters spontaneously. I'm pretty familiar with programming patches and st...

Thor programming tricks

I only just now realized you can route the oscillators back into their own pitch or FM to get crazy results. I spend a lot of time making Thor instruments and was wondering if anyone else had atypical uses of the programmer to get fun results.

Re: Something I noticed about drum production...

The new bounce to track feature is awesome for this. Sometimes I'll come up with a MIDI sequence and immediately print it, then work with the audio samples. It's a nice way to work, already pretty familiar to those with live instrument recording experience. It's all in the mind, but for some reason ...

That is true. But I also have the same kind of setup running Sub's VCO into Thor.

Thanks for bearing with me by the way. :cool:

Re: Subtractor VCO to Thor Routing?

See, that's what I thought at first, which is why I was a little surprised when I got it to work running Thor into another Thor. I can post that patch too if it would be helpful, but I'm basically running a Thor A's audio outputs into Thor B's audio inputs and programming those inputs to go to filte...

But if the audio outputs contain the summed voices of the Subtractor, wouldn't they carry the pitch information from the keyboard tracking too?

Subtractor VCO to Thor Routing?

I'd really like to use Subtractor's phase modulating VCO's with Thor's everything else. I've made patches routing a Thor's oscillators into another Thor for the same effect (to get 3 tonal VCOs and a Noise VCO into one Combi), but can't seem to figure it out with Subtractor. I'm getting signal but n...

Thanks to joeyluck I got mine. So far I like this thing a lot more than the MClass, though only while A/Bing on instruments and not in a full mix context.

Re: What's on your Masterbus?

I use the SSL master compressor set to limit but with a very high threshold. I also put a stereo imager combinator so that I can collapse to mono to check for phasing and whatnot.

I just got Chenille and I'm enjoying it, but have some questions. I've attached a screenshot of part of the manual I'm referencing. Screen Shot 2016-09-22 at 7.06.09 PM.png 1. First paragraph: There isn't any discussion in the manual at how they're calculating delay times using BBD stages and clock ...

Well I bought it, the hypersampled refill. I'm playing around mostly with the upright for now. Sounds pretty damn good, definitely better than the stock piano patches. I really like having all these mic options.

Go with the obvious solution. Buy $70 worth of illicit substances and make some songs with the REs you already have.

Re: Reason Hypersampled Pianos?

Reason pianos, like any piano sample set is always subject to taste. These are recorded to sound great in a mix, so playing them solo might sound a little odd if you're accustomed to a particular tone. The same samples are used in Radical Piano (currently on sale for a similar price), so check out ...

Re: Unknown Waveforms and Values in Reason

I believe the LFO waveform of CF-101 is triangle. It can be chopped when the modulated delay value reaches its boundaries. The delay values for CF-101 can be calculated as: delay_in_ms = 1/28 + 3/19 * a, where 'a' is the delay automation value from 1 to 127. When a==0, the delay is exactly 5 audio ...
