(electronic) Eight Objektions

This Objekt synth gets deeper and deeper. Whoever's responsible, I'll send you some chocolate.


This piece hints that the Objekt can travel into the sky, as far as distant galaxies.

Re: Cognitive Defusion

Hey Deep, long time no chat. (I've been away) This reminds me of your 2012 piece,

It seems Reason is catching up with your sound style with the Objekt synth. Portends well for the near future.

If you're ever in California, let's do some work together.

Re: Why is no one interested in Song Challenges anymore?

There are currently 52 songs posted on the objektchallenge website on soundcloud. The quality is extremely good, and there are still 10 days left to submit. I'm not sure, but I think most of the songs are by people on this ReasonTalk website. The "prizes" are pretty meager, so I don't think prizes a...

Re: Objekt song challenge

This is going to be very good. There are so many deep sounds in Objekt, hundreds not even worked out yet. Perfect for the reason maniacs on this forum. I couldn't help starting with the sound of a band I was in in 1971. Objekt took it in stride. https://soundcloud.com/john-richards/the-objekt-of-my-...

Garageband........Argh

I just got the new Mac mini and the R 12 upgrade with Objekt. I'm in heaven. I noticed GarageBand on the new Mac so I tried it out. The first noticeable thing was how dull it sounds. I played around with the EQ's a bunch and it got better, but not in the same universe as Reason. Why do they give you...

Re: Reason vs. Logic

Reason (or rather Record) has had this feature from the start. I have used it so often, on half my songs, I "forgot" it existed. Here is an example from yesterday, where I slowed the whole song from 120 bpm to 110 bpm, something I have done on hundreds of songs. https://soundcloud.com/john-richards...

Reason vs. Logic

Years ago, I used Apple Logic for songwriting, but some underground friends were using Propellerhead illegally and they recommended it highly. Hundreds of people around San Francisco were circulating stolen user codes so I tried one out. I fell in love with the seriously creative side. Logic was alw...

But it's a very good hammered Dulcimer sound, starting at 1:35 Very cool that the Objekt does a Dulcimer so well.

And another example of Negate. Quite a nice little device, forcing me to think radically differently about my keyboard, although not as much as Keith Emerson.

Re: Upgrading to a Macbook Pro

I just got a Mac mini M2 with 512 from Costco for $120 off the Apple price. It's amazing. So fast it's shocking, even with Reason 12 fully loaded with tons of devices. And it's the size of a personal pizza, or my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8. Running into a giant new Samsung monitor, it's better than the...

Thanks, that is why I couldn't find it. I thought it was an instrument. Now I see it (a player)! And it gives me a perfect reverse piano keyboard. Here's an example, with the track used for an Objekt guitar also:

I would like to reverse the notes on a piano in Mimic, so that the high C is on the left and the low C is on the right.
