REDRUM IS EVIL

[sleep1979]

I take it you've never seen The Shining.

Yes. Though some of the other native devices are just a play on words:

• Subtractor: it's pretty evident - it's a subtractive synth.
• NN19: a play on Paul Hardcastle's 1985 sampler epic
• Redrum: yes, from the Shining (they were doing a pun with the "Re" part and a drum, as in Re-cycle, Re-Birth, etc).
• Dr. Rex: was the original name of the Dr. Octorex before it had 8 slots. I guess someone at Props had a medical fetish?
• Scream 4: a play on the horror film series.

And most of the early tutorials were littered with pop-culture references. Even Ryan slips some in now and then (I remember Nyan cat appearing at one point).

Perhaps? Good catch! Though the similarities between the original Boss Dr. Rhythm DR550 and Dr. Rex is virtually zero, aside from the fact that they both did rhythm. The DR550 was a straight up drum machine, if I remember correctly.

Never used one of them myself, but it looks like there have been a whole line of Dr.Rythm. Some of them may have not been just drum machine, and more like Dr.Rex...?

Lol yeah that's a good one.

Pulsar LGM-1
The pulsar discovered by Jocelyn Bell was referred to as LGM-1 (little green men).

[Noplan]

This insight shocked me so much that I dropped a screw from the subtractor.

Wow I didn't know that one! Nice find.

Holy shit - I did NOT know that. Nice find!

As far as I know, this one is just my interpretation, but I like it...

The RE logo is shown as 'Re' and is presented like an element on the periodic table.



Re is Rhenium, which is a stable element. Rack Extensions and Reason are pretty damn stable. Rhenium is also used in turbine blades = Reason logo.

Congrats on having a daughter who is already smarter than you. I have one as well!

The name Reason itself is somewhat of a pun. At a minimum, it's a take on the name Rebirth, the first Props software product. All "Re" puns stem from there. But I will always maintain that it's also a shot at emagic's Logic (now, Apple Logic). Logic. Reason. hmmm....

Props have denied it, but I think they're playing coy.

Whoa.

Mind. Blown.

Audiomatic:

Of course you've got 'audio' and 'automatic' effects. But I believe it is also derived from Kodak's Instamatic and inspired by Instagram and its quick and easy effects.

Also, "Audiomatic Retro Transformer" = ART

Yeah I've often thought of that as well. Always sounds funny when I'm talking to someone about the software we use, someone says they use logic, I say I use reason, and someone overhearing comes over to engage in what they think is a philosophical type conversation

If that's true, it's beyond smart. And if it isn't, it's beyond serendipitous.

I'm guessing you've never played with the screws on the subtractor either?
