Making Liquid Music Vst Plugin Work With Propellerhead Reason 10
1. Load or record your sample
Today Propellerhead Software announced that it is becoming Reason Studios, along with the announcement of a major update to its flagship music-making software, Reason. Enabling music makers of all major digital audio workstations to plug the Reason Rack into their sessions, Reason 11 includes the Reason Rack Plugin, on top of a number of. In todays video I'm jumping right into my top vst plugins I use in Propellerhead Reason 10 and MPC Studio. Nothing but heat in my line up.
Reason is now able not only to tempo slice audio parts that you record or import, as it has been able to do for a couple of years, but also analyse monophonic vocal audio parts and make them editable in a similar way to something like Melodyne. At present, it’s restricted to working best with monophonic vocal parts and not polyphonic audio (although this may change), but it’s still a massive bonus to be able to alter the pitch and timing of vocals in a completely elastic way! Load up or identify a monophonic vocal clip in your project and then double-click it and you will see it opens in the pitch edit view. Zoom in a little so you can see all the slices.
2. Identify slices
You will see that Reason has identified the different pitches in this sung audio passage, and also the lengths of those notes, which are shown as differently sized blue rectangles. You can click on any note to hear it played as a tone, or hold the Command (Mac) or ALT (PC) key while clicking to audition the actual slice sound itself. These slices obey your sequencer’s snap settings and much of the time it can be a good idea to leave snapping switched on to a setting like 1/16 so you don’t accidentally detune a note or mess up its timing. Of course you can turn snapping off if you do need to make very small changes to pitch or timing.
3. Change pitch
With snapping switched on, you will find that you can drag any slice up or down to transpose it by a semitone per step. Drag two steps to transpose by a whole tone, and so on. You can move pitches quite far up or down before they start to sound odd, so changing a vocal part from major to minor or vice versa for example is easy: just change the minor notes to major ones, or major to minor. You can also hold the Shift key while selecting multiple, noncontinuous notes and then drag them all up or down by the same amount at the same time.
4. Quantize timing
The same technique applies to altering timing, and the snap settings also apply. The difference here is that you can pick up either end of a blue slice and then drag left or right to alter the length of that sound, syllable or word. When you do this, the overall length of the clip will not be changed but the previous or following note (depending on which end you are dragging) will be lengthened or shortened (depending on which direction you drag) so that the gap is filled, and there is no silence created. This can be one instance in which you might want to turn snapping off or use a very fine snap value so that you can precisely control the points at which words or sounds occur.
5. Alter transition time
By picking up and dragging the blue “stick” between and below each slice, you can alter the transition between two slices. What this does in practice is change the time one note takes to overlap with another. A very short overlap and the jump between notes is very quick and robotic. A longer overlap means a smoother transition, and you can be flexible with how you set this. It’s particularly useful when editing the lengths of slices to ensure they don’t end up sounding artificial.
6. Work with vibrato
The white stick above a slice is used to control vibrato. The wavy lines you see in black behind a slice represent the vibrato of that note—vibrato being an important component of sung notes. An intense wave in the line means lots of vibrato and less waving or indeed a flat line means little or no vibrato. By dragging the white stick you can alter the vibrato, but bear in mind that you can’t add more than was originally present in the recording: you can only have 0–100% of the original vibrato. Still, this is handy for smoothing out vibrato when there’s too much in the original notes.
7. Choose a correction type
In the column on the left of this editor view, you can see several options. If you select one or more notes and click the Correct button, Reason will snap the pitch and timing of the selected slices to the nearest grid positions, effectively quantizing both pitch and time, based on the sequencer’s snap settings. The Reset button can be used to undo this and return both to their original state. The Transpose modes are Snap and Jump, which either snap to the snap setting or jump a whole note, and Fine, which gives you very precise control to move the pitch or position of a note using the mouse.
8. Get full control via the toolbar
The toolbar at the top of the pitch editor section allows you to make manual settings for any slices and in some cases, for groups of slices. These are mostly the same controls you can access by selecting slices with the mouse but here they allow you to be more precise by entering exact values, for example fine tuning one or more slices by exactly 25 cents. One interesting feature that may not be immediately obvious is the Level control at the far right, which lets you manually make any slices selected louder or quieter without affecting other slices or the level of the track in the mixer. This is incredibly useful for when an individual sound or word inside a vocal part is too loud or quiet, and saves you having to export the clip to a wave editor to make the correction. Simply change slice level directly in the pitch editor!

Reconfiguring the server
Welcome to another blog post regarding developments and updates on Reasonexperts. In the previous article, I mentioned something about the feed being broken. While initially, this article was about a move from Propellerhead. While later on, I discovered there was more to it than just that (which started to become noticeable around the black Friday sales 2018). Vst piano free trial. Since most of the issues are fixed, this weekend I had to roll out a new feature which also included a new configuration change regarding how this web server functions.

Blackhole from eventide
A Reverb is usually a reverb. They are there to emulate a space. This is where reverb has been in different forms to emulate space in different ways we can do it in a digital realm. Plate reverb, small reverb.. terms you probably know by now. Impulse Response brought a new meaning to the idea what a reverb could be sounding like. Because impulse responses is a basic analysis of what the room is doing inside an audio file. This gets translated to what the reverb is doing and ya da ya da.. I won't bore you with technical details in this article.

Updating the shop feed
Today I just want to blog about an issue I started to notice on this site in particular. I am not sure when it happened, the only thing I do know is 'how it happened'. As you may well know on this site I run a custom-made service that updates everything from the Propellerhead Shop. While currently I am involved in a different project that is somewhat related to this idea (more on that later during the month). While refactoring (read: making changes to the website code) I started to realize that nothing from the Shop feed would update properly.

I am Hydlide of ReasonExperts. This may not be anything new that I am going to post on this 'blog'. But I want to make it more official (rather than having it as a rumor). Since recently there is a large smear campaign going on (as totally expected) about myself, this site and a vlog post that I posted on the internet almost 4 days ago by the time I am posting this.

Native instruments Komplete
Komplete 12 from Native Instruments has been released since September 2018. While I recently purchased myself Komplete 11 Ultimate edition I thought I would just start to write down my initial thoughts on this Komplete bundle. While I am early in to explore just everything this pack has included, writing down a single article about the contents of this whole bundle would not really do it justice. Therefore, I might start spending some time to write additional articles or make some additional videos while I am exploring this sonic explosion of content. Because that is basically what it is. A total mind-blowing massive amount of sounds.

Reason 10.2 Control Voltage Part 4 - Altering Pitch
Today I am going to use Reason 10.2 and create something creative using the matrix pattern step sequencers to define different ways to alter note information and gate information while using Note CV, Gate CV and Curve CV to alter different patterns in different ways.
While this trick is an old school trick, it is still applicable today since you can also make use of different rack extensions for Reason to make use of a similar setup.
The idea with the note information (as far this video goes) is all about having a second pattern to redefine the straightforward pattern and manipulate the pitch outcome while doing so.

control voltage in Reason 10.2 part 3 splitting CV and using CV notes
Today I am going to talk about two different things. First part is about splitting CV while using a device called the Spider merger splitter. Second part in this video is about some creative usage what you could do when using a normal 'trigger' device and make use of the CV to do something totally different what they supposed to do. Call it creative usage of CV while doing so. Since in the realm of CV anything is possible.

Shape from Lectric Panda
Shape from Lectric Panda is a utility that was originally designed by Lectric Panda and was released as a separate Rack Extension. While synchronous was more an effect process generator where the curve could also be used as an external control voltage output. Shape, on the other hand, is all about that idea yet take it towards a whole different level. When I originally bought Shape as a utility to sculpture a sound in all kind of different ways, I started making use of this device more often especially in terms of Genres like Ambient music, IDM, Breakcore, and Glitch. Part of the beauty lies in the way you can reuse the same pattern, yet do it differently while the waveform progresses over time. So from an evolving point of view, that is pretty much perfect for the genres I just mentioned.

Control Voltage In Reason 10.2 - The Gates - Part 2
am going to make a new series regarding control voltages. Beginning with the basics first (again, but take a different angle while doing this). While in this series progresses over time I will also touch the boundaries on what envelopes do, how you can use those in a CV environment. Touch the subject of modular synthesis. Base stuff around the PSQ-1684 (and some crazy ideas while using this device). And touch the realm of Berlin school while doing so.
In this video I will outline the basics about Gates. What they do, what they can control and how they work.
In a different video I will explain how a curve is setup (since this relates to the idea of gates eventually).
I will come up with some creative ideas on how you can manipulate gates and make it work inside a live performance setup. For instance, use a toggle button to enable something that is called Ratchet sequencing.
