animoog inspired Reason 6 combi

Monday, October 31st, 2011

My latest obsession has been the new animoog iPad app from moog music, inc. It’s a brilliant example of the tablet platform and touch control surface as a creative and expressive musical instrument. If you haven’t tried animoog, I highly highly highly recommend getting it.
Animoog’s sound generation system is akin to a vector […]

Huge Thanks to those who attended the Producers Conference in San Diego this past weekend. Dave, Matt, and I agree that It was definitely one of the best events to date, and we look forward to future events in the area.

BitCrusher BC3 Combinator

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

The combinator (version 3) in Reason 5 / Record 1.5 has a few notable improvements. Programming is easier with hierarchical destination menus - you no longer need to scroll down long lists of destination parameters. Another welcome improvement is the addition of direct CV inputs. In combinator 2 (Reason 4), a […]

Phase Aligned Tape Comp Combinator

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

In case you didn’t know, the Scream 4 Tape Compression algorithm induces somewhat of a phase inversion to signals passing through the device.

Propellerhead Software Patch Charts
I’m keeping this brief since I need to finish packing, so that that i […]
