hey man i jus wanna know....in reason 5,.... when your sampling live from your mic, how do i change the PITCH of the sample, without changing the speed of the sample in KONG? thanks !

[PropellerheadSW]

In Reason 5 with Record 1.5, you could record the sample onto a audio track, pitch it with Neptune and then bounce that to a sample which you assign to Kong. In Reason 6 you could record it to an audio track and use the new pitch transpose feature in the sequencer to do it automatically, then bounce that to a sample and assign it to Kong. In Reason 5 only, I'm not sure if there is a way.

In Reason 6 Can I make 2 Kongs at once?

[PropellerheadSW]

You can make 200 Kongs at once! It's unlimited the number of devices you can create within the ability of your computer to handle it.

i cant get sound out of it! do you no what ive done?

[PropellerheadSW]

Lots of places to look. Is it wired up to a mixer?  Is the mixer wired to the main L/R output in the Hardware Interface? Have you chosen the correct sound driver in the preferences?

You can make as many kongs as you want or need (until your computer crashes)

[spulkagent47]

So it is possible? I mean, don't beat around the bush here. Just tell me one way or the other, can you make two Kongs at once?

[Myco Monster]

yes

[Lefty2muzzlez]

if you cant do it in reason your best bet is to use an audio editing software tool. transform the wav keeping the same tempo, then just bringing the wav into kong.

[MrJamaicaninnewyork]

kong is only playing linear can you please help me

[90hero99]

you can do it in free audacity!

[ooohmyhead]

Sup not sure if you solved your problem but I just use Audacity to change the pitch. It's good with PC but pretty shite for mac. Free ware though.
