Redrum

• Drum machine in the Reason rack
• Ten channels that can play one AIFF or WAV sample each
• Drum kits can be saved as Redrum patches
• Built-in pattern sequencer
• Can be played from Reason's main sequencer or via MIDI
• Each channel has two effect sends that are routed to the drum computer's two effect send outputs
• Gate out and in that can trigger other devices with Redrum or trigger Redrum sounds from other units
• Pitch control voltage input for each channel

• Loads eight REX loops and lets you switch between them on the fly, making arranging a breeze
• Player can retrigger loops on a beat, on a bar, or on a 16th note or let you program the loops manually
• Each of the eight loops has an expanded set of per-slice settings
• Set pan, pitch, filter frequency and levels, reverse slices, use multiple outputs, create alternating groups of slices, and more

• Spider audio merges or splits audio to bring a hardware studio's patching capabilities into the software realm
• Merge multiple audio signals and process them with the same insert effect, or split an instrument's output into four outputs and send them to four different effect processors
• Spider CV splits or merges CV and gate signals
• Split the CV signals from the Matrix Pattern Sequencer to trigger several synthesizers with the same pattern, or merge the outputs of several LFOs to create very complex modulation patterns

• Analog-style sequencer with a maximum of thirty-two steps per pattern
• Each pattern can be freely sized regardless of what time signature has been chosen in the sequencer
• Resolution selector allows the playback of a pattern in a range between 1/2 notes to 1/128th notes
• Patterns can also be moved up or down a semi tone or one step left or right
• Alter-pattern option
• Ties and randomize functions
• Connect CV and gate outputs from Matrix to a receiving device to activate and control the pitch of each note
• Create complex LFOs for control of reverb decay, oscillator modulation, and panning, or use it for rhythmic synthesizer control

• Wide range of on-panel controls and mode selectors
• Pattern section for muting selected notes in an arpeggio
• Large display showing values and positions
• Single note-repeat function engages the arpeggiator only when two or more simultaneous notes are held down
• Manual mode will arpeggiate notes strictly in the order they were input, for real-time arpeggio control

• Tool for combining and controlling devices or building unique instruments
• Allows for building elaborate chains of Reason units—instruments, effects, and pattern sequencers, and saving them as Combinator patches
• When a Combinator patch is opened, all units in the setup are instantly loaded, complete with sounds, settings and routings, making it performance friendly and perfect for both stage and studio use
• Houses an unlimited number of Reason devices
• Programmer window makes it easy to build thick, layered sounds using any number of synthesizers and samplers, or create keyboard splits for mapping out different instruments across a MIDI keyboard
• Alternate between instruments using velocity splits

• Four separate mastering units designed to add power and presence to Reason mixes
• MClass equalizer is a 4-band mastering EQ with low- and high-shelving bands, two peak filters, and a low-cut switch
• MClass stereo imager splits the incoming audio into low- and high-frequency bands, each independently adjustable
• MClass compressor is a single-band compressor and features a sidechain input for advanced compression functions such as ducking or de-essing, a soft-knee mode for smooth, musical compression, and CV out for dynamically controlling other Reason devices
• MClass maximizer maximizes the volume of Reason tracks, without crushing them or introducing other unwanted artifacts
• Limiter section with switchable lookahead for distortion-free brickwall limiting and a soft-clip section for rounding out harsh transients

• Combines crunchy compression, distortion, a multi-mode filter, and flexible modulation into a single effect
• Apply parallel compression to bring out the details of a sample or recording
• Use the envelope follower when recording live instruments for responsive, expressive filter effects

• 4- to 512-band vocoder capable of modulating sound in both old-school analog style and digital FFT fashion
• Combine any two sound sources like vocoding a percussion track with the bassline or the string pad with the rhythm guitar
• Fully automatable including band-level settings
• Record front-panel actions or use the pen tool to draw-in layers upon layers of wild frequency changes
• Equalizer mode turns the BV512 into a 4- to 512-band stereo equalizer

Guitar Amp Models

• Twang: a silvery American classic, great for clean and slightly overdriven guitars. Popular for country, blues, and more
• Crunch: British 60's classic that keeps its chiming, present character, whether you play it clean or drive it so hard it's on the verge of breaking down
• Rock—a yummy, warm, fat, tube distortion
• Lead—screaming leads and power chords that sustain for days

Guitar Cabinet Models

• Bright—2x12 cabinet with deep lows and heavenly highs. The dynamic mic is placed on axis but still lets a hint of room into the sound
• Room—more midrange present 2x12 with the small-diaphragm dynamic mic placed off-axis and a wide stereo room added
• Fat—solid 4x12 classic. Captured with a German condenser microphone on axis for that full-bodied sound
• Tight: slightly midrange-scooped 4x12 cabinet. The large diaphragm dynamic microphone gives an in-your-face presence

Bass Amp Models

• Modern—contemporary version of a classic tube design from one of the most popular bass amplifier brands. Modern has all the clarity and punch you'd expect from a modern amplifier but still with the pleasant three-dimensionality that well-designed tube amplifiers offer
• Vintage—gives you a dark, dirty, steamy bass sound that adds power and attitude and helps the bass instrument cut through the mix

Bass Amp Cabinet Models

• Dark: a classic 8x10 cabinet with a snappy response across the frequency spectrum. Captured with a German large-membrane dynamic microphone, straight on axis for a clear sound and a rock-solid low-end
• Bright: a British 4x12 bass cabinet with great midrange presence. The dynamic microphone is placed off-axis for a slightly roomy sound
• Room: A 4x10 cabinet, captured with a German classic large-membrane condenser mic at a distance. Roomy with a nice depth and width that caters for a very natural sound in the mix

• Modulation powerhouse created to add motion and spark to your music

• Draw complex modulation waveforms
• Use built-in effects to provide an energy boost to your sound

Alligator Triple-Filtered Gate

• Three-channel pattern-based gate effect
• Three parallel filters, distortion, phaser, and delay
• Each channel has a separate gate controlled by the sixty-four included patterns, triggered from the sequencer, the Matrix, the RPG-8 arpeggiator devices, or via a MIDI keyboard
• Each channel runs through either a high-, band-, or a low-pass filter
• Pan and volume controls

The Echo

• Stereo echo combining modern delays with the organic sounds of analog circuitry and old-school tape machines
• Settings for delay time, tempo sync, stereo width, and pitch
• Ping-pong bounces the delayed signal from left to right
• Offset provides a wide stereo spread
• Keep-pitch keeps the delay feedback in tune when modulating the delay time for bouncing ball effects
• Feedback controls
• Color section provides limiting, overdrive, distortion, or tube distortion for the repeats
• Band-pass filter cuts frequencies from the repeats and boosts them when the resonance is turned up
• Modulation section features parameters for modulating the pitch and stereo image of the echoes
• Breakout jacks allow for inserting any number of other effect units into the feedback loop

• Stereo reverb
• Convolution reverb—load any of the supplied impulse responses, or create your own otherworldly reverb effects by sampling or loading your own impulse responses
