Got a groove happening and auditioning leads? Often it’s not the original preset that screams ‘use me’, it’s how it responds to modulation, to how it sounds with extreme resonance, or a different LFO shape/depth.
But I’m sure I speak for others here when I talk about cueing up sounds. I’m endlessly impressed by Propellerhead’s synths, and, okay, always lusting after the next Rack Extension. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but Reason’s sound banks run deep. The Nektar literature outlines compatibility with Logic, Cubase/Nuendo, ProTools, Live, or even as a generic MIDI controller, but the real juice is in its deep Reason control. Nektar can be adopted by other DAW tribes. Like an early Santa present, I plucked the P6 out of the box, popped the USB cable into the back of my Mac, booted up Reason, and with very little ado, was immediately cueing up new sounds, tapping away at the drum pads, and tweaking levels like the natural extension of Reason I hoped it would be.ĭid I audition the Panorama with other DAWs? No. I’ve had the Panorama P6 over the Christmas break and it’s been a delight. Nektar is a friend of Reason, and, as such, is your friend too. A new and enlightened company called Nektar out of the US has clarity where others don’t. Novation, Akai, Ableton themselves, Tenori and others have been indulging the Live community with arrays of buttons and pots that provide these pseudo-musical dolts with hands-on control.įrustrating? It’s enough to make me smash one of my Stradavarii.īut, fear not, fellow Reason scholars, help is at hand. Meanwhile, those trumped-up DJ wannabes, throwing loops together, not knowing their rituendo from their Nintendo, have a smorgasbord of possible external control. īut we’re not feeling the love from those who make hardware controllers. We have a grasp of the dots on a stave we’re not afraid to dig into synth parameters and indeed flip them around for re-patching we’re engineers, producers and musicians and we’re proud. We’re producers of music from first principles.
Reason users have plenty of cause to feel smug. Reason users (in particular): feel the love. 4 June 2014 Studio or performance, Panorama is bristling with MIDI control.
