Hola
I'm working on a song that uses a Europa patch with a very slow phaser sweep. My problem is that the phaser cycle isn't synced with the transport, so that whenever I click play to start the song, or record another version, it starts at a different point in the phaser cycle. This is a problem as the peaks and troughs of the phaser are an integral part of the song.
I've tried using external phaser effects but they don't have the same sound as Europa's internal effect.
I'm using Reason 10 but only started a few months ago so apologies if the answer to this is obvious.

It's actually pretty easy! If you have a spare LFO in Europa simply turn Depth down/off in the Phaser, and assign the LFO to "Frequency" for the Phaser (and tempo sync the LFO you've chosen). If there's spare LFO in your patch, use Pulsar (or similar) instead via the CV inputs. Make sense?
