  • Ah, how times have changed.

    Could not begin to imagine how the landscape would change in the upcoming years!

  • How can I take the noise out of the 404Loose bass drum on the REDRUM? I WANT THE 127 LENGTH BUT NOT LINGERING HISS FEEDBACK. HOW?

  • I figured it out after I looked at the template, this to me is not a regular setup, with the combinator routing and the lfo splitter into cv 1 in both Thors. Why did you use 2 thors left and right when its already Stereo? I like the change of filters just by pushing a button 3. thats cool. This is an excellent video, I will watch the others but is there a good book you'd recommend on this? thanks anyway. Seems more like college grade stuff than just a 5 minute video.

  • Can anybody tell me how he got the combinator knobs assigned to 'Wobble Speed', 'Cutoff', 'Resonance' and the buttons to 'Wobble on', 'Tempo Sync' and 'LPF/BPF' because the only thing connected in the back is 'rotary knob 1' (from Thors step sequencer curve output)  which is 'Wobble speed', I don't understand how he got all the other knobs to function as they were for  'Cutoff', 'Resonance' etc.

  • Same with all heavy software. Anyone can flick through the presets, but if you want to get creative and make your own stuff you have to invest some time 🙂

  • Anyone out there know if you can use a Pioneer RMX1000 as an instrument/Plug In in Reason 6.5? I'm asking Santa for one for Christmas for my dj set up and it will be a bonus if you can use it in the rack. I know you can use it inside Logic and Ableton but I don't have or want them… Reason 6.5 all the way for me baby….!

  • Hey james love the video…..Just wanted to know with the step sequencer can i use it to trigger drums the way you trigger the wobble bass with the keyboard to make it go 1/16 or 1/32 or maybe use the redrum to do it with the keyboard……

    Thanx

  • Does anybody now how to retrig if you're playing legato? The pause between the notes is noticeable if you follow what the video showed.

  • It`s al little bit complicated to find out how the rate of the "right" thor is modulated. The rate is modulated by the first rotary of the combinator, which is modulated by curve 1 of the "right" thor. Am I right?

  • This was a pretty good tutorial. I had been curious about the dub synthesizer sounds and was wanting a introduction to it using Reason and this helped.

  • im really confused, where has the second thor come from, you have missed out loads from the last video?

  • @DoobieJ next to the run button change to REPEAT, than play. that was my problem too. it might work.

  • so i tried doing this with my patch and it messed up my whole song. the combinator i tried this technique in is listed as wobble bass and its track doesnt play but all the others do. it played fine until i started modifing it. any help would be greatly appreciated

  • You said you showed us how to assign the combinator to the wobble rate… you never.
