Music Making Month - Exploring Synthesis for Inspiration

Chris Petti can dream synthesis routings while he sleeps. The man has never seen a VCO and an LFO he didn't like. But behind all the science and technology, Chris also knows that the point of synth sound design is making great musical sounds. He joins us to show us how we can all explore synthesizers a little deeper for custom patch creation while always keeping our minds on the song we want to make. Oh and he'll make a bass synth that will melt your face!!

Can i do the exact same in Reason 5.0. Haven't seen the wireing you did in Record in Reason before? I know your in Record, though i can't afford it. Thanks! ^^

@Stefan2970 Everything you see Chris doing here is stuff you can do in Reason 5. Absolutely. The wiring is all the same. It's just the audio tracks, pro mixer, neptune, and ID-8 that you gain in Record. None of that is used to make these sounds... and what cool sounds they are!! :)

These super distorted noisy new-school American dubstep sounds are cool for those who enjoy that sort of thing, but I absolutely hate that stuff, and it's been a bit ubiquitous throughout music making month. Here's hoping for a touch of subtlety in subsequent programming tutorials, for those of us whose aesthetic preferences lean towards having more space in the mix.

cool vid very informational. I work with all of Propellerhead software. I have a facebook page with some of my music. Please everyone check it out. Type in my name Charlton Jackson. All my beats on facebook that i work with has a Soundcloud logo on it. Peace hope everyone enjoy it.

ALso keep the Programmer in the Combi pointing to the first Thor as well

[stratcatavarious]

If you left everything the way it was and NOT delete the matrix in the first Thor you're ok

Good thing I kept saving steps

[TwoTimesJonny]

@stratcatavarious I hate to say it, but I totally agree with you

[Electricz0]

I never even thought of turning audio into CV control. Thanks guys, so much, for the advice.

I was going good until I tried to move WT 2 I think I broke it ? WHen you interrupted with a question - I lost momentum - please dont do that
