This looks useful:
https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack ... ve-filter/
Make your bass say cheesecake. Make your pads move and swirl around. Make your lead sound hit all the right frequencies at the right time. Make your sound stand out.
• Frequency Response Adapts to your own Samples
• Intuitive Control of up to 64 Bandpass Filters
• Stereo Offset on Shift for Easy Stereo Widening

This looks and sounds fantastic. Purchased!

This new RE sounds great and looks cool too! One little question, it's listed as $63 CAD and is "on sale" for $59 CAD ($4 CAD OFF). What do other countries see?
EDIT: I'm asking this question because the Reason Store does NOT use dynamic currency conversions. I've noticed some items are converted USD to CAD at incorrectly high rates (1.45 rather than 1.25)

Congrats on the release, Speo!
Thanks to everyone checking out Strive!
Thank you, I hope you get some great sounds out of it! I'd be keen to know how it goes.
That is curious. The device is 50€ usually and 43€ introductory pricing, 14% off. It's close to 14% for GBP and USD as well, but for CAD it's closer to 6%. Not sure why the price categories are that way in CAD.JohnnyFave wrote: ↑30 Sep 2021This new RE sounds great and looks cool too!

It's a capstan and it's purposefully completely out of place.

When it says
Anyway, I bought this and I'm glad - it's excellent: easy to use, sounds fantastic, not really like anything else that I own. Thoroughly recommend it.
does it mean buttery biscuit bass?

Nice device and design!
I know I am being nitpicky, but why are the vertical lines missing on the hexagon pattern at the edges of the device?

whatever butters your biscuit. Super happy to hear you're enjoying Strive!
There is some curvature on the edges and the hexagons protrude. Because why not, right?

Kind of - it can do similar things but it does so in an entirely different way. Europa’s Spectral Filter affects the onboard wavetable oscillator whereas Strive is essentially a bp filter bank.

Thank you, just spontaneoulsy felt like they were similar in sonic appearance. If you say Strive is essentially a bp filterbank, how does it interact with the wavetable?
Good question! It gets the gain for the individual bp stages from envelope followers that are cached for each band when the sample is loaded.
I make Rack Extensions.
Yes. That way you can scrub through the sample (manually or better yet via cv to wave) and get the response at each position of the input sample. You could replicate the effect using a granular synthesizer as a Modulator input to a vocoder and scrub through the sample in the granular Synth, but Strive sounds tighter, if I say so myself

I see, thank you. And how does Europa´s spectral filter work if not via bp?

Europa's Spectral Filter alters the frequency content of the wavetable that is used to synthesize audio. That's why the LP and HP on there can have infinitely steep slopes: it just cuts the harmonics in the frequency domain and FFTs back to time domain before generating the output audio.

How does it alter the wavetable though if not by filtering in a classic sense?

The wavetables have to be stored in the frequency domain to enable this kind of filtering and anti-aliasing. So instead of say a 2048 samples long wave cycle, they store 1024 amplitudes and phases corresponding to the constituent harmonics of the wavetable. These can be manipulated and then transformed back to a wave cycle by FFT.

Though I don´t know how the "(amplitude) and phases corresponding to the constituent harmonics of the wavetable" bit works, I at least got a rudimentary idea of the principle, thank you.

I didn't manage to phrase it well haha. You can basically think of the frequency domain as what you see in a spectrum analyzer with some extra bits. Anyway thank you for your interest in Strive!
