Quick question bout thor...

Ive got an LFO controlling two things in the routing programmer thingy (excuse my advanced technical terms ) and i want to set up one of the rotary's to control the amount the LFO has an effect on both of these, how would i go about doing this?

[Ongelegen]

i'm not sure if thats possible, but you can diffinately assign it to the rotary of your combinator. Open the programmer of the combinator and set a rotary 1 to control the mod 1 dest amount and mod 2 dest amount (the numbers 1 and 2 should be corresponding with the channel you have the LFO mod set, i just assumed you used 1 and 2 so if you have those on ie 3 and 6 the u need mod 3 dest amount and mod 6 dest amount.

kl kl. Thought that'd be the case, I cannot see a filter 1 x and filter 1 y on the combinator tho, is it disguised as something else??? (using formant filter btw)

*EDIT*

Just re-read your post

*FACE-PALM*

[Ongelegen]

I dont follow you anymore.

What 2 parameters in thors mod matrix is your lfo controlling?

What i understood from your post was:

- LFO controls 2 parameters (thor mod matrix)
- U want to assign the amounts for both to 1 single rotary right?

[Bazzle09]

If you get your two LFO modulators on the Thor matrix, you can set the "scale" drop down menu to "Mod Wheel", then have those two amounts at +100, then have the Rotary 1 on combi set to control the mod wheel on thor.

il paste up a pic if its confusing.

Cheers peeps, sorted.

I was using LF0 1 to control formant filter x and y and wanted one rotary to control the amount it's being affected and one to control the LFO rate, without havin to draw for the trusty combinator.

Got a better result outta havin 2 combinator rotaries adjusting x and y seperately anyway.

I use this technique as well

So I've been geeking around reading some shit on stereo enhancement and mid-side encoding. I tried to make a patch like this diagram in this article http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan06/a ... 0106_5.htm but it didn't really work. It was either still a mono signal or there was no sound as the wide channels approached the same level as the original sound. I'm at work so can't upload my combi patch, but basically i used a split the signal with spider and inverted the phase on thor. Anyone got a good brain out there?

I was just wondering why i never here of anyone using the nnxt sampler as a drum machine?? seems like a good idea because ihate the limitation of redrum only having 10 channels. But just trying to find out if theres a certain reason not many people use it?? thanks alot!

Found a good video for turnin it into a drummachine if anyones interested..

I use my NNXT for every sample I use - this includes drum samples.

For things like snarerolls and toms it's so much easier to modulate the pitch by just using the piano roll instead of automating the shitty knob on re-drum.

You can also attach an RPG-8 Arpeggio unit to the NNXT to make funky - easy rolls.

I do the same. I never use redrum, hate it so much. NN-XT all the way.

Ive got a quick question about reason, sorry if it's already been asked but I don't think it has...
When you add certain effects as sends on a mixer in reason, why do some of them (e.g. phaser, delay, flanger etc) connect by default with only one (left) input but two outputs? I never know if i should just leave it like that or connect it properly myself. But when you use them as insert effects they have 2 inputs and outputs like normal.
I thought that maybe these effects are working in mono but that still doesn't really make sense, surely it would be better if you just had both inputs connected? Because if a noise was panned all the way to the right and you only had the left input connected, then it wouldn't even go through the effect at all. Anyone know whats the deal with this?

[futures_untold]

Some of Reasons effects function differently according to whether they are wired up in mono or stereo.

Information on this can be found in Reasons manual.

Thanks man, thats just what I needed.
Haha I can't believe ive been using reason all this time and never even noticed those little diagram things

[Wolverine]

@futures untold, do you have the drum pack that you have in your default reason patch? cheers.

[futures_untold]

If I uploaded them, I'd have to kill you.....

Anyway, you can replace the drum combinators in the default rack with my empty drum combi patch instead. You won't see the sample names listed and can focus on loading your own samples in.

If you insist on using the same samples as the best and sexiest producer in the universe, you can download the self contained rack from http://www.mediafire.com/?dyyuu2nnmwi

Just remember that using your own sounds makes you sound more original.

So recently tried takin a shot at rewiring reason to fruity loops and seems pretty dope only one problem is i cant figure out how to automate an lfo rate thru fruityloops. i guess more of a fruity loops question but if anyone knows wat im talkn bout help would be great

thank

[mindcontrol]

Wow I never knew you could access the manual via reason. Spent half a year trying to figure this shit out by myself going to become useful lol.

Btw when does Reason 5 come out? Really look foward to it. Hopefully a all round improvement.
