Lavalamps and Reason in perfect harmony
More lava lamp MIDI modulation.. I added some “comparators” to the arduino code to generate a set of 15 additional on/off controllers based on comparing the 6 continuous outputs. I put these to work on a reason patch where they are working effects and mix.. I reckon there is potential here!
So do we 
DubSpot presents you with a “WaveShaper Combinator Effect w/ Malström” tutorial
For more info – http://bit.ly/kxOGZt
In this new video tutorial titled To Waveshape the Future, Dubspot instructor and electronic music producer Chris Petti shows you how to create a WaveShaper Combinator effect patch from scratch using Propellerhead Reason’s powerful synthesizers Malström and Thor. First, Petti starts with a fully-built WaveShaper effect patch plugged into to the output of Thor (which is generating an unprocessed sine wave) with a series of real-time controls mapped to Combinator. When the WaveShaper is engaged, the unprocessed sound is transformed dramatically. Then, in a step by step process, Petti demystifies the method he used to create the effect patch and shows you how to build your own WaveShaper effect from scratch, utilizing with a blank combinator patch. At the end of the tutorial you should have a good grasp of how to Wave Shape (process, bend, twist, or modify) any incoming sound and make the lead elements in your tracks more effective and lively.
Reason Wizardry Tutorial Demo
Reason Wizardry is a series of advanced video tutorials for Propellerhead Reason 4, produced fresh and delivered electronically each month.
This is an excerpt of the July 2009 issue. Find out more about Reason Wizardry at

Thor’s Modulation Bus and Step Sequencer
It’s hard to believe it’s been 52 Tips already but now we’ve all got the Reason/Record chops to prove it! For those of you who have been with me since week one, I’m so proud you came all this way with me. For those of you just coming into the series, boy do you have more goodies to find in our past episodes!
In this final week’s Tip I’m going to show you around Thor’s final sections: The Modulation Bus and Step Sequencer. With these sections under your belt you’ll have completed my multi-week “Synth School” series and hopefully be able to approach custom synth sound design with a whole new bag of tricks.
Now there’s nothing else to do but to get out there, use this knowledge, and start making more music than ever before!!!
Thor Filters, Shaper, Envelope, LFO, and Mod Matrix
With a solid foundation of synth theory and even Thor’s fundamentals under your belt, this week we’ll be diving deeper into the filter types in Thor – looking at the State Variable Filter, the Comb Filter, and the Formant Filter. You’ll also learn about the self-oscillator included with some of these filters. From there we’ll move through Thor’s semi-modular signal path to see how you can tap into the sound-bending power of the shaper, the mod envelope, and the Modulation Matrix.
As with all of these Synth School videos, the knowledge in here builds heavily off of previous tutorials so if you’re jumping in to this one first I can highly recommend looking at past weeks to get a better understanding of the advanced concepts we’re covering here.
Also: Don’t forget to get your cap and gown measurements to the principle’s office because graduation from Synth School is next week!
Thor’s Multi-Osc, Noise Osc, and Filters
Yet another video from the Prop guys featuring the Thor synth:
If you’ve made it this far into Synth School without dropping out or changing your major to something less technical, then congratulations. You’re nearly ready for graduation day. Today we’ll be picking up where we left off with Thor’s oscillator types, namely the multi-oscillator and the noise oscillator. There’s a lot to these simple looking modules! From there we’ll move over and take a look at the filter sections in Thor and I’ll introduce you to the semi-modular routing buttons which help move signals through Thor.
Thor Oscillator Types
Synth School enters its final and most advanced device starting this week. Strap in and get ready because we’re about to tackle the Thor Polysonic Synthesizer. Thor is called “polysonic” because it offers a smorgasbord of various oscillator types, filter types, and signal routing options.
This week we’ll be focusing on the first major oscillator types in Thor. Each oscillator has a specific synth technology behind it and each one has a particular sound that will be suitable for different uses. If you’ve found yourself relying on presets for Thor or if you tend to go straight to the analog oscillator because it’s familiar to you, you’ll definitely want to get to know these other oscillators. They’ll expand your sonic palette and ramp up your sound design chops.
Create Electro/Trance Synth’s in Reason (Tutorial)

Malström Filters, Shaper, Mods
52 Reason / Record Tips – Week 48: Malström Filters, Shaper, Mods
You understand the basics of synthesis and have mastered the Subtractor, you’ve learned about the Malström’s unique “graintable sythesis” technique, and now all you need to know to master the Malström is to understand its special filters, shaper, and mods.
To those who have been following along since week one of Synth School, you’ll see that I’m picking up the pace a little bit now that you’ve built a foundation of knowledge. Believe me, we’ll need this pace starting next week when we tackle the Thor synthesizer!
But rest assured, by the time we’re done you’ll know every synth’s capabilities, strengths, and routings. And most importantly, you’ll be able to think of a sound you want to create, know which synth will get you that sound, and set about making it with skill.
REX Jockeying with Livid OHM64 and Reason 5
Reason maestro Peff is back with a new video:
Video overview of using the OHM64 with Reason 5 to create a live pa setup to switch loop slots and crossfade between sources and effects. It’s not really music composition, but more like Loop Jockeying.
Controls are mapped via standard remote override mapping, however this setup requires a bit of remote codec hacking to alter the behavior of the function keys and top 4 rows of buttons.
