Down memory lane: Reason Factory Sound Bank patch designing

I just stumbled on some file archives where I kept the last version of my patches for Reason 6 (if I'm not mistaken) Factory Sound Bank.


Then thought it would be fun to check if any were still listed in the first group of patches, when we create a device.

To my surprise, some familiar names still show up in Reason 12, eh!


Smooth Wobbler!



Epic Chip Lead!



Artwist Bass and Chip Arpeggio!




and some of my favorite Combinator (v1) ones are still included too, nice! :)


Needless to say that we kinda had a theme going for that FSB,
 that's why there were so many "wobble", "dirty" and "chip-tune'ish" patches ;)

Some of the more odd Combinator ones don't make any sense nowadays
because of all the new Rack Extensions that keep coming out, especially from Reason Studios.


Ok, now... I'm trying to think what else might be in there...

hmmm... I remember doing some for Parsec (Phrap One Bass and Phrap Two Bass comes to mind)


...and Complex-1 (Panflute, Corda Unica and Duas Cordas also come to mind), at least...

oh, the Complex-1 patches kept my handle suffix, nice!

I wished Reason patches (or at least the .repatch files) had a Sound Designer field
 to easily keep track of which were done by whom, like some VSTs do... oh well :)


Need to do some disk searching now to see if I kept any local backups of those too -.-'

Generic MIDI Channel aware Remote Codec+Map

Image
If you have a controller capable of sending MIDI messages on multiple MIDI Channels, like an M-Audio Axiom 's 4 Keyboard zones (so 4 MIDI Channels from the same keyboard) plus the Pads on Channel 10 or an Arturia BeatStep PRO that can send 2 sequences on their own MIDI Channel (1 and 2) and its Drum sequencer on MIDI Channel 10 plus the controller on, say, MIDI Channel 16, etc,  then you certainly felt the need for a MIDI Channel-aware type of Remote Codec like this one. Taking the BSP example, here's how to get its 4 sources of MIDI into Reason with this Remote Codec+Map. Add a Control Surface per MIDI source  with these 3 easy steps: 1)  Add a Control Surface from the " <Other> " Manufacturer and choose the correct " Generic Controller on MIDI Channel __ /< " Model with the MIDI Channel you'll need 2) Give it a proper name, so you know what's the real controller being used with this generic map (that you

Arturia SparkLE Remote Codec+Map

Hey all :) I've been asked last week to share my Arturia SparkLE Codec so here it is :) (unofficial) Arturia SparkLE Remote Codec (and partial Map) V1.0.2 ReDrum: Added Drum Channel selection support through the Dial encoder Edit Flam with Select+Loop Button Flam Amount  with  Select+Tempo Encoder Shuffle On/Off through Loop Button Actually, this has been sitting on my Remote projects folder for 2 years now (and far from being alone in there, eh), waiting for me to complete the rest of the Remote Map, because my initial need for it was really just to control Kong, Dr.OctoRex and ReDrum, that's why those are really the ones that got some partial love on the included map. Early this year, due to the improvements added to the ReDrum remoteables s ince Reason 8.2 , I ended up making some editing to support the new ReDrum remoteables :) I'm hoping that anyone wanting to extend it or complete it has enough examples already in the partial map I'm

Random access to a CV values list

Just added this little CV tool in the free download section (on the right): "K's Basics - Random access to a CV values list" It's basically a way to access through CV indexing, a list of 3x32 "cells" of CV values (well, one of the list is within the Note range of CV values, but this example is enough to demo the concept). So, if you're ever in need of generating a specific sequence of CV values controlled by another CV source, this is one way to do it :) It's like having random or sequential access (in whatever direction you want) to a specific custom list of CV or note values, by using a CV controlled "cursor" (just connect the CV "cursor" source to the Rotary 1 CV input and tweak the Combinator modulation programmer Min/Max values to your needs). This device was enough for something I was testing, but I'm sure it can be optimized with some thought and more time. It won't work well in a real-time fast switching situation,
