CV upscaler in reason stock?

hello,
im looking for a way to upscale cv data. lets say i take the gain reduction CV from a slight compressor, but it only creates values from 0-25. but i want to upscale it to 0-100. is there soemthing in reason 11 suite stock that can do that? or if totally not, which rack expansions are there? thank you in advance!

This web will produce 4x the CV value:

Also Thor can do this using the CV In and the mod matrix.

Just put it in the CV Spider...or was it the Merger? Yea, i think the Merger...

very nice, never thought of that
i'll check it out

I think this free RE can also do it (and a lot more):

Lectric Panda's Janitor. A freebie. You can scale, invert, offset, and add lag (glide) to CV values.

Can't understand shit in that one. I know it's not that hard, I just don't know where to use it.

You only need one Spider for this, no?

That way one pair of CVs will be out of sync with the other pair on the merge, delayed by a 64-sample period.

I've always done it this way and never noticed any issues. In fact…
I should be able to measure that easily, but when I do so I'm seeing no difference between the output of the first merger fed directly vs the second merger fed from the first.
[Sorry, cropped the pic too tight, but the third output of the first splitter feeds the input of the second, and the first output of both is what you're seeing in the final image]
I see perfect alignment to the sample with this routing, one CV going to the left channel and the other to the right at max zoom:
If there was delay I would see it with this setup no? What would be a better test to reveal the delay?

A null test. I did it, and you are right, Spiders indeed have zero latency. I've always assumed they delay the signal for one batch and made my connections accordingly.

I think the attenuverter in the combinator gives precise control of CV. I am not sure if values are stackable, but they will run the entire range of a given parameter.

not that i understand much about it, but i thought spider was a (virtual) zero-latency-device?
edit: oh you guys already cleared that up.

whats that? please remember im only on r11 and dont have the new combinator yet

ok folks, thanks for all of your great input. do you have similar recommendations for a (CV) sample & hold RE? the shop search isnt really helpful.

I have always assumed it was only an issue going outside of a device, but now that I think of it that doesn’t make sense either - a CV jack back into the same device SHOULD be the same as going to a separate device (logically).
Never measured it before now, but good to know either approach works just fine!

Here it´s about scaling up or amplifiying, not attenuverting, saying you can easily scale down input values within the Combinator, yet not increase them. And no, the values aren´t stacking.

Try this A-Series Modular device. It has a few useful functions, including a S&H circuit.

LIttle LFO contains a S&H waveform, aswell a smoothed one. And it´s also free.

EDIT: While I like Ochen´s A-series very much, the S&H needs a trigger to output.

Oh and there is Reason´s PULSAR
Along with its S&H waveform it´s got a "lag"-parameter to smoothen it out.

On top bascially any noise source is a sample&hold.

The S&H does have a Trigger input, like any S&H circuit. It's got Trigger, Samp (the signal to be sampled), and the Output. Here it is in action. I'm using LFO1 as the Trig and LFO2 as the sample source (i'm sampling a Triangle wave, so you get a nice pattern. S&H isn't just about random).
If the OP is asking for a Random LFO, there's a ton of them. Even Pulsar. But if the OP is asking for a S&H device (which I think they are), then none of the LFO's you've mentioned are the answer. An LFO or a noise source is not a S&H. A S&H is not the same as a random generator, although it can be used as one.

You should grab yourself a copy of Voltage Modular's Nucleus system. It's free, and it includes a S&H module. You can learn more about how to use S&H.

No no, I ment, it needs a trigger input to work, while little LFO or Pulsar just puts it out.
Easier to implement, though I like A-series size for that purpose.
An additional tip, you can always smoothen out a waveform by sending it to an AD(SR) before going anywhere else. This works also very well for portamento effects.
