Koshdukai's Music(al) Reason(ing)

Reason's BV512 Digital Vocoder rack device always had a very useful behavior regarding its use as a MIDI-to-CV utility device. Before the Kong Drum Designer rack device, which is typically the easiest and preferred device to convert a MIDI Note (i.e. Pad hit) into a CV Gate output (each pad has a CV out gate at the back) the BV512 Vocoder was the only rack device offering a similar behavior. How? (RTFM ;) The BV512 MIDI Implementation made it respond to a range of MIDI keyboard note input to control each of its 32 Vocoder Bands. This allows various cools tricks related with directly controlling specific and multiple bands while in Vocoder mode. The 1st 16 of those Vocoder bands, when activated (either by audio modulation or MIDI note input) will have their respective value output as CV at the back of the device. So, as you can see, prior to Kong , this was the perfect way to get at least 16 MIDI Note-to-CV Gate/Vel...

Not sure if anyone noticed, but my red'ish/orange themed blog changed to blue... which, coincidentally matched the color change on PH's Shop :] This was the 1st of a few more changes to this blog. I'm going to slowly "clean" it up of all the extra link sections, now temporarily pushed to the bottom. Already added a "Spare Music Products on eBay" section because I finally went through my license collection and found a few unused spares that should really go to someone that will use them. I have more licenses waiting to be added to that list, but there are some limits to how many/much one can have on sale, so... there's actually a queue behind that section. Next, will be experimenting with AdSense ( configure your own Ad experience here **). Not sure how that works but that's something that I never bothered to try and I guess it's time to, so I'm waiting for the approval thingy. After that, don't be surprised to see som...

WOW! I'm extremely impressed with this initiative from Converse ( yes, that sneakers company, no less!!! ) through their  Converse Rubber Tracks  community-based professional recording studio in Brooklyn, NY. The design of the site, the user experience and interface, the filtering and searching capabilities, proper metadata details ( who did what , where and when , tempo (s), key (s), etc) and obviously the amount and the quality of content are totally amazing. One-Shots , Loops , Stems on lots of genres , playing styles and instrument types . I'll say it again: WOW ! ...and my respect, admiration and inevitable thanks to... a  footwear company  for doing it right :) Twitter results for #RubberTracks Rubber Tracks  @rubbertracksnyc Vernon Reid: «[...] in a way, sampling keeps the idea of older music in our collective consciousness and certain obscure pieces of music can come back again or have a new life or be redi...

Beta 8 squashes all the various bank folder levels into just 1 level per folder mainly on " 7 from the Web " and on most on the "8 Instruments", which I'll be working on a bit more before the final release  of V1.0 of this ReFill. PX7 200K Collection (30102 Uniques) Koshdukai's Slim Version 1b8 ReFill I'm a bit worried with " Tim Garrett's TX7 " folder though, which is now all flattened as a  7789 patches  big folder. It's quite noticeable how Reason's browser takes its time to digest that folder before opening it, even packed inside a ReFill, which is kinda weird and not what I expected out of Reason 8.1's new browser... oh well :/ Still not sure if it's better now, without all of those bank folders with just a couple of patch files in there... guess I'll need feedback on this or else I'll keep doing how I think it's best :) Beta 7 zip download access will be removed soon, btw. 2022/06/19...

Could be an automatic process, right? Well, but it isn't, so here's the next best solution: Manually tempo-map a variable-tempo audio track with no embedded tempo information. " Instead of playing to the click, let's click to the playing " ;) ...which Ryan Harlin explains perfectly.

Excellent quick tutorial explaining and demonstrating why and how to destructively trim unused/unwanted clips from audio tracks: It also briefly explains those, sometimes intriguing, audio clip icons that show up at the bottom right corner of the clips, something I remember seeing a bunch of users asking about in the old forums. For more, you can always check the usual main source of all this knowledge, the Operation Manual  available locally on your computer but also online at the Reason Additional Documentation and Help Files page ;)
