Propellerheads Reason 6: Section 1: Combinators

PROPELLERHEADS REASON 6 





Custom Combinators 


DRUMAGATOR_XT1000 -DIGITAL RHYTHM ULTRASONIC MULTI FX ADVANCED GATE ALTERNATOR 



This is a project which I have been working on to push the creative possibilities of Reason with the inclusion of the new devices in version 6.


This advanced and highly flexible Drum Machine / Loop Synth processor allows for both real-time/step time programming or a mixture of both as well as full keyboard control triggering and manipulation.


It uses multiple techniques and modes for triggering drums / effects, and makes use of the new Alligators (dual) which are linked with the Matrix devices for further user programming. The Matrix Devices ( includes 24 custom made patterns) for speed variations in alternative user modes. Kong can be played live as well as programmed from Redrum as well as triggered from the RPG8 in realtime. DrOctorex is automated adding new creative possibilities such as selecting from one of the main combinator knobs. I'm only scratching the surface of what is possible and even if you are only just using main knobs, it includes a full fx processing system including thor fx cycling effects. Everything has been carefully put together and it's full of magic tricks and ways to trigger things from the main panel from enabling the execute PTRN buttons to the 4 below the main knobs.


 No Refills are required as it uses the default soundbanks.


It comes with it's very own unique custom made background as shown above.  


Enjoy :-)

Blog Content 
My blog here will cover graphics/audio applications from the Adobe Production Suite (including After Effects), Maxon Cinema 4D,  Propellerheads Reason, and wide range of other programs such as Utilities. There will be resources and projects where these programs have been involved too, by myself and through other online resources.

Hi thanks for visiting, my name is Scott Moncrieff and I live in a small coastal village in the North of Scotland who is into both music production with Reason and the computer arts with a particular focus on Cinema 4D, as this has been my main 3D application I've used since 2002. I've now stopped with version 11.5 XL with the Mograph 2 and Hair modules due to the ever rising upgrade costs and structure changes Maxon made. I graduated with an HND in Interactive Multimedia back in 2008 and have since worked in the field of film / video production / graphic design since then. I have always had a struggle with the two sides of my brain fighting for attention in either music or art so bringing them together is quite amazing and satisfying for me.

Ever since my first ZX81 computer when I played my first space invader game at the age of 4, I somehow knew as I grew up that music and art would come together, this was probably when I saw my older brother programming a music application into our Atari 800 XL which I myself produced rainbow coloured patterns on. 


I have been producing music since I was 15 with computers such as the Atari Mega ST/ Amiga 500 & 1200 / Playstation 1 and for the past 11 years, on the PC. My PC's have included an Athlon 750, Athlon 64 3500 and what I use presently an Intel I7 920 home custom build which I'll have a section on.


Octamed Sound Studio (Amiga)
I've used a wide range of software over the years on all those platforms mentioned above, it was however on the Amiga 1200 where I really got to grips with learning to build tracks. This was when I got a free cover disk from 'CU Amiga Magazine'  when I was about 17. Although I had tried many music applications like Bars and Pipes given away through other magazines, it was Octamed Soundstudio from 'CU' where I produced my real work, using step-time programming and sample editing functions. Eventually I bought my first full size keyboard that I still use today, a Yamaha PSR 330 ( my first ever keyboard was a Casio SK1 Sampling Keyboard at the age of 8), and programming midi into Octamed. I then progressed on to Music and the more powerful Music 2000 version on the Playstation 1 from 1997 to 2001.


Music 2000 (Playstation 1)
I lost my dad to cancer in 1998, and in 1999 I went to Germany for 3 weeks to a place called Wiemar which opened my eyes to how isolated life could be but it was a great experience anyway, I'll some day put some photo's on here of the experience. My Dad was talented musically, he sang and played the acoustic guitar, keyboard, mouth organ and accordion so I miss jamming with him while I played my PSR330 with him on the guitar.


During 2000 to 2001 I studied music at home through an open learning college course and got my first PC in August 2000 to help me progress and get the most out of the experience as well as connect me to the internet for the first time. I was rewarded £280 for successfully completing the course which I really enjoyed and spent too many hours on each day (sometimes 20 to 30.. burn out warning lol)


Discovering all this new software out there including VST's which I could try out with Magix Generation 6 software was fun, however I often felt that VST's were too resource hungry so I was really looking for an alternative. I had heard about Propellerheads Reason through computer magazines such as 'Computer Music Magazine', 'Future Music' and Sound On Sound. I had shown my music tutor this amazing new rack based software and told him that I wanted this bought with the grant. I had to buy something musical and as you will probably guess, Im still using the same software 10 years on.


Propellerheads Reason 6 (PC/Mac)
My user names on the internet include THE INTRANCER which is the name I had on reasonstation.net as well as  soundclick.com where you can hear a selection of my own Propellerheads Reason based music. You will also find me on the Propellerheads forum under the user name of Scottym. I also come under the name of Scott M C4D from 3D Buzz and -/\-Scott-M-C4D-/\- from Cgtalk. I have my own youtube channel under the name of Skyhawk77 where I have posted a few experiments with motion graphics in Cinema 4D.
