Ok, I’m about ready to head down to LA for the Producers Conference Tomorrow. I’ve been working on my modular synthesis in Reason presentation this week. It’s still a bit rough around the edges and I’m still getting the hang of coordinating my presentation with the dialogue. A bit of anxiety always […]

The last Reason Laptop JAM was bigger than expected which turned out to be a mixed blessing. It was great to have a large turnout, and surprising to see so many Reason users in the Silicon Valley area who were up for the challenge. We even had one fellow Reason user come out […]

The San Francisco Bay Area Reason User Group is planning a Reason LaptopJAM on Saturday, March 3, 2007 from 6pm to 10pm or later. This session will be held in the South Bay in Sunnyvale.
This is a semi-private event. The location details are disclosed to Registered Reason Users who RSVP in advance. […]

Hami is a busy man, but he’s good and it’s usually worth the wait. Sure enough the new RB-303 skins are really cool. These will replace the old skins I made for the 030-RB-303 refill. The new GUI has the look of a Roland TR-909 and not much like a TB-303. […]

Despite arriving early to NAMM this year, I’m a little late getting to the report, but that’s ok, since I think everyone has already hear the big news from the Propellerheads and the announcement of a new synthesizer aptly named “Thor”. Right around 10:30am on Thursday morning, James Bernard went into a demonstration of […]

Ok, the full NAMM report is coming, but please don’t get your expectations up too high. I seemed to have caught some kind of bug during the trip and have been ill since I returned. In the meantime, you should check out the news on the Propellerhead Software Website and check out the […]

I managed to catch my friend GW playing keys for the group Deathline International. They had a gig last night at the Voodoo Lounge in San Jose, which isn’t too far away, so after missing previous opportunities, I finally saw them perform. GW has talked about the group for ages, but I […]

I’ve a few more days here in Stockholm before returning home where I have to get ready to do this all again next week at Recombinant Labs in San Francisco. James Bernard and Arabian Prince will coming up to present the North American version of the Propellerhead Software Producer Conference! Hayden Bursk from […]

After a few days in Stockholm, I finally have a moment to relax. The trip over was fairly painless, with the one small exception of the family with the little baby sitting a few rows in front of me on the long haul from SF to London. I still managed to take a […]

Yeah, i’ve been busy and slacking on posts. I will be heading out to Stockholm in a couple of days for the Producers Conference. I’ll be presenting a few lectures on Reason 3.0, Combinator, and Remote - There will be a few topics from my book covered, but expanded to real world situations. […]

The SF Bay Area Reason User Group had another cool laptop jam at Lennon Rehearsal Studios in the SOMA district. Everyone’s weekend schedule was pretty loaded recently, so we decided to organize a mid-week get-together. Besides the usual suspects (Ed, Mark, and me), Rick and Tony (along with his classmate John) came by […]

If you’re a regular on the Propellerhead Software User Forum, then you may have already downloaded this new ReFill. It’s a specialized combinator dubbed the Minerva-8, a Malström based synthesis system that uses three simultaneous oscillators to simulate an analog synth.
This is nothing new - a lot of people stack Malströms in a combi […]
