Re: FRG 4EE and multi band..

Hey guys! I've just been sat here playing with my drum and bass busses while mixing songs for an ep in planning.. I was messing with the multi band comps and I wandered if anyone had tried hooking up any other compressors than the mclass as multiband.. specifically I have the frg 4ee and I'm aware ...

Re: May Madness is upon us

Damn. I'm at the point where I don't really need anything. Unless I get a newer major synth like Expanse, Oberon, or Nostromo.

Anyone got any thoughts on Dying Star? I might just pick that up out of boredom lol.

Wow this looks interesting. I wonder why there isn't at least 5-10 more CV inputs. It's not living up to it's potential.

Re: Revisiting VectoRE

Wouldn't Proton fully suffice? You are probably right. Expanse is probably good enough at the wavetables too. But for a few reasons, I'm trying my best not to try those 2 synths. :lol: My laptop is about 6 years old so I'd need a new CPU to handle those REs. But props devices are always the most ef...

Re: Revisiting VectoRE

My favorite thing to do with this RE... Make a nice moving pad sound using 2 or 3 oscillators. On the last 1 or 2 oscs, use a retrig tuned Perc sound. Once I get it halfway decent, I bounce the audio (root note of the Key of the track) for 1-4 bars. The trick here is to bounce the audio for exactly...

Am I the only one hoping/wishing that Vecto gets upgraded like PredatorRE did? Drag and drop & oscillator menu folders would really take it to another level.

Re: REs that New Reason users with lots of VSTs shouldn't overlook

This is really a question of what you are looking for really. If you wanna really get into the deep end of reason, u have to get comfortable with the CVs. Blamsoft polymodular system is unbelievable. Gives you the tools to turn multiple instrument devices into a polyphonic instrument. Even taking a ...

Re: VST in reason, effects on the rack extension market?

This could be the best thing for the RE market. At this point, it has the same problem as all other plugin markets. Oversaturation. Especially with the IDK's, there isn't much innovation. And now the VST integration is even more flexible than IDKs. And let's be honest. There's only so many ways to d...

Re: Zvork releases Oberon 2.0

Ok, here's another one: What I did here was record 16 synth sounds from my Prophet 12, use slice edit in Reason to detect the transients (+automatically place slice markers there), then move slice 'n' to the start of bar 'n' in a 16 bar sequence (so that values 0..127 will later map to the slices i...

Re: Exclusive first look at Blamsoft and eXode's VK-2 synth Rack Extension

I was interested up to the point it is pitched as a whole new synth rather than upgrade to VK-1. I already own The Legend and VK-1. My only gripe with VK-1 is it is monophonic. We will see I guess when the pricing is announced... Distributor is they key in all cases you need more voices,eg some syn...

Re: BBD Delays mk2

I'm a fan of JP re's and have about 6 or 7 of them. The redesigns look pretty great. That being said, I'm a little hesitant of a paid update that is almost purely cosmetic. Especially since V1 wasn't all that bad IMO.

Re: Reason 10 Rumors

And vst's aren't only synths, you couldn't use an eq or compressor vst into Reason via rewire, or could you? You can do that now actually. When Reason is a Rewire slave, just route whatever signal to the VST in the Master DAW. Personally, I think Ableton's biggest strength is Reason's biggest weakn...
