MC-202 & Reason 4.0 - Using Reason to Generate DIN Sync

[RyanFromUltrasound]

Cool trick.

I really like that '202 line when its slow.

You are officially my hero.

I'm really interested in learning the concept behind this, is reason sending audio pulses? are you using a midi to dinsync converter or somehow converting audio to din?

[johnisfaster]

my bad I just noticed the blog link, very very interesting this is.  I've been using ableton to send tape sync for a while but this looks like it might have some advantages.

[PeffTV]

This is a bit different than sending FSK sync from an audio track. Signal generators in Reason are sending DC control voltages out the MOTU interface like they would in Volta.

Someone posted a video on sending DC signals in ableton. Provided you're using a compatible MOTU interface, this should also be possible. You would need to dedicate two outputs and two channels in Live. Maybe I'll give this a try to see how the pulse signals would work as clips.

[johnisfaster]

I'm aware of the whole CV from Live thing as I use it for my modular. this is the first I've heard of the Audio-Din sync concept and it fascinates me. I really like what he was doing with repeatedly starting and stopping in rhythm. excellent stuff right there.

great work ! thanks for your posting.

i've been watching your other posting...

i wonder, in this kind of setup, always have to use Thor polysynth...

without Thor, Can i send Matrix CV signal to any hardware analog gear??

[PeffTV]

Initially I had problems with routing Matrix Note CV signals through Thor to Audio. The calibration behaved differently than the Thor Step Sequencer. However, routing CV/Gate into Thor, then relaying Key Note CV to Audio worked perfectly.

You've got too many toys! Hand 'em over!!

Will this madness ever end? You never cease to amaze!

[PeffTV]

Oh, the madness is just beginning. I'm still in the honeymoon stage with this technique. I need to start doing something more substantial than noodling around and posting videos.

[jlee713]

Man I'm getting jealous. I started looking at 303s and Motus and realized I am a broke ass. So unfortunately I'll have to stay in the box.

[PeffTV]

well, i was looking around on eBay for used MOTU firewire interfaces, and old 828s are pretty cheap. One auction started at $.99. Not sure if it would close at that price, but i'm sure there are deals out there.

303s are another story :) x0xb0x kits are a good alternative. check out ladyada•net

this is the first i've heard of the mc-202...

thanks!!!

btw, nice technique!

[PeffTV]

Really? The 202 is like a 101 and in a lot of ways far more versatile than the 303. IMO it's about as easy to program as the 303. Definitely checked out some of the other 202 YT vids.

[jdkbriggs]

thanks, I will!
