NI Massive on Reason 4?

[Grime Syndicate]

No no, that covered it quite well actually

[UKdubKingdom]

wait...you can use massive as a stand alone?

James Bernard from Propellerhead software does a video tutorial every week , has done this for a year all on Reason / RECORD, he has even thrown in some tutorials on making wobble bass in thor, and provides a patch for it., he also has done extensive videos on Malstrom,Subtractor and is currently doing more, I suggest to anyone who wants to know more about Reasons synths , take a looksie at his tutorials!

From the info on scanned synthesis found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanned_synthesis, I think waveterrain synthesis and scanned synthesis are similar in concept but fundementally different.

There are two crucial differences.

- The first is that waveterrain synthesis uses a static, precomputed '3D' waveform.
- The second is that a waveterrain is not created 'on the fly' as is a scanned synthesis waveform.

Think about it, if we left our playback head in the same position with scanned synthesis, because the waveform itself is 'moving' or 'evolving', even with a 'motion rate of 0 one would still get an animated evolving waveform.

With waveterrain synthesis, if we set a motion rate of 0 (such that the playback head remained in one static 'location'), the resultant sound would also be static. Viewed on an oscilloscope, the sound would show one waveform with no movement, animation or evolution at all. To get evolution from a waveterrain synth, one would need to modulate the either the X/Y or Z position of the playhead (or all at once).

Waveterrain synthesis is essentially 3D wavetable synthesis, whereas scanned synthesis could be considered 'live' wavetable synthesis.

Tbh, buy Roads Computer Music Tutorial and give a quick read through the wavetable/sampling sections. Roads covers it in there better than I ever could here hehe.

thank you so much for all that info, took me a whole week to fully understand (ye im not the brightest lol), hence the late reply. love you man (NO HOMO)

if i ever make a good enough massive bass on reason, i will defo make a tune with that and then link it on this thread.
