Reason Tips: Pulveriser’s Envelope Follower and CV
“Propellerhead product specialist Mattias Häggström Gerdt shows us some advanced CV wiring between Pulveriser and the Matrix Pattern sequencer. By using the envelope follower in Pulveriser, we can smooth out Matrix CV curves and introduce “lag” to the signal. It’s portamento for your CV signals and it’s COOL!”
Pulveriser brings together crunchy compression, dirty distortion, a multimode filter and flexible modulation in a single sound-crunching effect. Crush, mangle, and destroy your sounds. Apply careful parallel compression to bring out the details of a sample or recording. Use the envelope follower when recording live instruments for responsive, expressive filter effects.
Custom Alligator Patterns in Reason
In this video, Reason Product Specialist Mattias Häggström Gerdt shows us how to turn off Alligator’s built in patterns to create custom gate rhythms using a couple of Reason devices like the Matrix Pattern Sequencer and Redrum’s step sequencer.

The Echo brings together the best features of crisp digital delay, warm crunchy analog delay, space echoing tape delays, and even loop-based effects. We’ll take a look at the major functions of The Echo and explore a few ways you can use its powerful delay settings in your music.

Reason Micro Tutorial: Alligator Triple Filter Gate
Reason 6 introduces three new creative effect devices: Pulveriser, Alligator, and The Echo. In this micro tutorial we’ll take a look at the Alligator Triple Filtered Gate. Gates are commonly found in electronic dance music and are widely loved by producers and audiences, alike. They add rhythm and texture to otherwise flat sounds like pads and sustained chords. A well-crafted gate pattern can make up the hook for a catchy track. In this tutorial, we’ll introduce you to gate effects done “Alligator style” and show you a few ways to use them in your own music, regardless of what genre you make.

Reason 6 – Producer Sessions Live Preview
Producer Sessions Live 2011 takes place at SAE London on September 3rd and 4th 2011. Check out this video for a flavour of what you can expect, and head to www.producersessionslive.com for full details and tickets!
The first public preview of Reason 6 and its accompanying audio interface Balance will take place at our upcoming event, Producer Sessions Live.
Run by the teams behind Computer Music and Future Music, Producer Sessions Live 2011 takes place at SAE London on 3-4 September 2011. This is the event’s second year, and a swarm of big-name producers including Stonebridge, D.Ramirez, Nu:Tone and chart-topping mixing engineer James Reynolds are all signed up to spill their secrets in a series of intimate masterclasses.
Swedish producer Mattias Häggstrom Gerdt will showcase both Reason 6 and Balance in the Propellerhead room at Producer Sessions Live throughout the weekend. Reason 6 is a huge update, with the long-running DAW now capable of all of Record’s audio-recording, -editing and -mixing functions. Three brand new effects – “demolition” plug-in Pulveriser, studio/live delay The Echo and rhythm-creating gate Alligator – round off the package.
Audio interface Balance works as a two-in-two-out unit, but has more physical connectivity than that description would imply. There are four line ins on 1/4″ jacks, two 1/4″ guitar/bass inputs with pads and a pair of mic preamps with phantom power via XLR. Balance is designed for use with Reason, with several of its features offering tight integration with the DAW. One innovation is the Clip Safe function – when enabled, this records a take on two channels, with one at a lower volume in case the other one clips.

Artist Interview: Kirsten Price talks about Reason
Here’s a new video from the Propellehead’s:
Her latest album title, Brixton to Brooklyn, is both a catchy alliteration but also a succinct bio on Producer/Songwriter Kirsten Price. Originally from London, Price has since made Brooklyn her home and her music reflects the eclectic blending of those transatlantic influences.
We met up with Kirsten Price at a studio in Los Angeles to check out one of her recent projects.

Reason 6 Micro Tutorial: Pulveriser Demolition
Reason 6 introduces three new creative effect devices: Pulveriser, Alligator, and The Echo. In this micro tutorial we’ll take a look at the Pulveriser. Pulveriser is a sound demolition unit capable of destroying your signal but before you turn those knobs up to eleven, I wanted to show you that Pulveriser also excels at being an audio sweetener. In today’s world of pristine digital recording, meticulously sampled instruments, and quantized MIDI it’s sometimes necessary to add a little color and grit to your otherwise perfect material.
Pulveriser can do that for you. So before you blow up your sound with Pulveriser, take a look at some of the other ways it can make your tracks sound more analog, more beefy, more gritty… more Pulverised!
