Re: Does your music usually have more of an introvertic or extrovertic nature

Interesting question! One with a complex answer from me at least. I write my own music for me, channeling my own emotions and thoughts into what I put down into audio. In a sense, my music is the antithesis of generative music and what I’d call deterministic music. Often I’ll begin writing from a po...

Re: Studio DESKS??

^^^ that stand looks great! It’s only $59 shipped, too. I’m plagued with multiple single stands due to the sheer size of some of my synths. The actual desk I use now is great but I’m festooned with freestanding keyboards that I’ve got to get up and program for the most part. I should build a wall-mo...

Re: Abbey Road Studios IR's?

Why not consider hiring out 3-4 hours of studio time remotely, and then asking them to record sine sweeps in the various rooms for you? You can then use Voxengo's deconvolver, and have a completely unique set of IRs for your own personal use. Might be expensive, but you'd be the only person in the w...

Re: Do you think reason will ever get a better sampler?

NN19 has a position knob and Grains position, start and end can be controlled. NN-19's Sample Start knob is what has been making all the trouble in creating a video to continue the "Exploring Reason" series I started back in late May....the knob only travels through the first second or so of sample...

Re: Do you think reason will ever get a better sampler?

The Samplers in Reason need switchable time stretching, everything else is luxury... Or what do you really need that Abletons Sampler has? I disagree. I think time stretching in a sampler is a luxury, but I don't negate your point of wanting it in a modern sampler update inside of Reason. However, ...

Re: [Electronica] Mein Herz

Really like how the intro piano detunes and then comes back to true...very creative. The drums are very laid back, the strings are lovely, and the pad that you’ve chosen perfectly matched the mood of the song. Deep, contemplative, and a little melancholic my only “criticism” ( if it can be called th...

Re: NNXT: Sample Playback

I’m unfamiliar with MIDI note chase. You mention that all samplers start at sample beginning...do you know of any sampler (hardware or software) that actually respects MIDI SPP or SMPTE/MIDI TC to lock to the specific portion of the sample played? Midi note chase isn't a sampler thing. It's a DAW f...

Re: Import GM Midi to one Track in Reason

Would like to know this as well. I’ve had no joy importing MIDI....It makes a new player for every track, and if it’s a drum pattern from, say, Maschine you end up being unable to play it properly without a TON of work.

Re: Europa Question

What shape LFO do you use if using an external LFO - just a random wave. Can the osc/engine be any shape or do certain shapes sound better with S/H? I’m trying to get Underworld - Rez type sound Cheers Random. You’ll see it as a square-wave type with values all over the place if you’re using pulsar.

Re: NNXT: Sample Playback

Yeah what Reason needs is something called MIDI note chase, which would basically trigger a MIDI note on event if playback starts halfway through a note/chord/whatever. However, I'm not sure any DAW out there would have a solution to this problem as, AFAIK, there's no sampler out there that can "kn...

Re: Europa Question

Dang, they beat me to it. You can also use the LFO outputs from any reason synth with an LFO output, or even do pseudo-S&H by using a Matrix with randomly selected values. Of course that would be a repeating sequence but sometimes that’s kind of cool

If anyone owns a System-8, head off to the Roland site and download the new v1.2 O/S update and patches. It makes a fantastic synth even more capable, with additional FM capabilities and bringing the Jupiter 8 and Juno filters into the System 8 engine (not just the J8, 106 plugouts). This is a synt...

Re: Propellerhead should improve search performance of folders containing Refills and other audio files.

I agree. I keep making samples and forgetting where I put them. I wish it would search the whole computer for the files and refills. Although maybe the new drop menu does that?
