52 Reason / Record Tips - Week 46: Subtractor LFOs and Mods

After watching the first two Synth School videos you've probably realized that the entirety of synthesizer sound design is simply about taking a basic sound wave and reshaping it with basic tools like filters, amp envelopes, phase, other oscillators mixed in, etc. This week we'll look at the final piece of the SubTractor puzzle: LFOs and Performance Modifiers. When you're done this video you will have everything you need to start creating some seriously unique SubTractor patches. More importantly, you'll be ready to tackle the more complicated Malström Graintable synthesizer.

Next week I think you'll be surprised with how much you already know about it having built a strong foundation in a fundamental synth like SubTractor.

You missed a perfect chance to show everyone how to play with the rack screws on the Subtractor!

James Bernard is the personification of Reason/Record manual!!!

@TheHashtypeGuy Not sure if you found the answer already, but if you alt+click the rate knob in Subtractor, it will create an automation lane in the sequencer, which will allow you to draw in automation events for the LFO rate. This works with any parameter that is able to be automated in Reason.

Bach?

[cardante979]

@THEH4VOC I agree. Instead of having "Record/Reson help link" in the help menu we could have "Ask JB" :)

@hellisbreakingloops

Hmm.... perhaps even more in Record!

Now I must go touch everything.

@danxl5 someone mentioned it on the Propellerhead fb. Now I'm starting to wonder how many more easter eggs are in Reason...
