This one is made out of three differently tuned analog-style oscillator, creating a chord. The difference between them is that one of the pads also send out a "detune" message to one oscillator, changing the pitch of it. That's how I play different chords! I guess I could've sampled them but it's fun to route things in Reason. Second row • Button 5 — this is a big fat crash cymbal. • Button 6 — here's my beat repeat effect. I'm triggering the "Roll" mode of a The Echo device, basically repeating the last incoming 1/4th note over and over again until I click the button again to turn it off. • Button 7&8 — these are my bass triggers! Like the chords, they send a trigger signal to a Thor synthesizer. The trick to these is that they also send a signal that I've routed to a step sequencer. I've set this step sequencer to a few different notes and set the playback mode to "Random". What happens then is that every time it gets a trigger event, it changes the pitch of the oscillators. Furthermore, button 8 also sends out a signal that opens the low pass filter a bit more. This makes the "sound" of the two buttons different, even though it's the same synth. It also allows me to do the "open filter" section at 2:05 since that button is opening the filter. Third row • Button 9&10 — these are transition fx, I'm only using one though • Button 11 — this makes the beat repeat effect 1/8th notes instead of 1/4th when the beat repeat is on There is some CV signal trickery that's hard to describe if you're not used to Reason. In Reason you can basically send "control signals" as small yellow CV (Control Voltage) cables. This means I can duplicate my trigger signal, make it affect different parameters etc. It's good fun! Let me know if you have any questions |
| Latoria Kavulich 08.05.2012 | Here's one i found. |
| Erich Vallabhaneni 09.05.2012 | might have to get one now lol |

| robert chanda 09.05.2012 | That was fucking AWESOME. Love how you use it to pick out melody and chords. Do you use anything like the Ableton Live MIDI transpose effect that takes notes and maps them to a specific key so you can't mis-hit notes? If not, it might add a few more notes to the 16-key range. And the side buttons can control the keyboard pitch offset which I believe you're doing already. Rocking. Care to put together a "How I did that thing" post? Pretty please? |
| robin loo 09.05.2012 | love that stuff.. |
| Jodie Thorkelson 09.05.2012 | Here's two I did with the MF3D and Reason 6: |
| robin loo 09.05.2012 | really nice. thanks for the good explanation how you set it up in the video description |
| Oscar Schmer 08.05.2012 | Thank you for posting! |
