animoog inspired Reason 6 combi

My latest obsession has been the new animoog iPad app from moog music, inc. It’s a brilliant example of the tablet platform and touch control surface as a creative and expressive musical instrument. If you haven’t tried animoog, I highly highly highly recommend getting it. Animoog’s sound generation system is akin to a vector [...]

Migrating Record Locations & Favorites to Reason 6

A Reason+Record Duo User who attended the Producers Conference in Las Vegas asked a rather important question about losing all of his patch browser “Favorites” and “Locations” settings when upgrading from the RR5 Duo package to Reason 6. We discovered that it is possible to migrate these settings provided you are working on the [...]

mØxr update (5.1.9)

mØxr is a maxmsp based application that converts audio signals to MIDI note events. The application is calibrated to receive Reason CV messages as audio signals, and in turn generate a monophonic stream of MIDI notes that can trigger hardware synthesizers. A new build of mØxr has been compiled with the recent update of MaxMSP [...]

Kong 808 Refill

I thought this would be easy… Sample the Roland TR-808, load the files into the Reason 5 Kong Drum Designer… Bam… done! Nope, that definitely is not how things went down. The primary goal was to create a set of Kong patches that effectively simulate the classic 808. This involved selectively [...]
