My latest Reason Refill project is a multi-sampled Roland TR-606 Drumatix drum machine. This unit belongs to a friend who was having issues with the 606 not powering up. As it turns out, it wouldn’t power up with batteries, but works fine with a power adapter. The problem was that a lead to […]

Unfinished Combi Project… should make this a RE

I thought this would be easy… Sample the Roland TR-808, load the files into the Reason 5 Kong Drum Designer… Bam… done! Nope, that definitely is not how things went down.
The primary goal was to create a set of Kong patches that effectively simulate the classic 808. This involved selectively […]

CycleOn is a real-time playback system for ReCycle REX loops. This combinator based instrument patch is designed to create live performance and DJ Style effects using Propellerhead Software Record + Reason 4.0 (both applications are required).
Many thanks to my friends who contributed to this package. The logo and graphics have been […]

The release of the Thor Step Sequencer System Refill is no longer available through the Line6 website. Sorry I completely forgot that the “Expand Your Reason Rack” promotion ended in 2008. I’ve posted the file in the Reason Refill download section and you may download is available here:

Line6 has asked me to put together a refill for their “Expand Your Reason Rack” promotional offer which features free Reason 4 Refills. Originally a collection of Thor patches was planned, but I decided to focus on a theme, specifically, Thor’s Step Sequencer. The result is a motley collection of sounds and effects […]

Reason 4.0’s ReGroove Mixer is an amazing way to experiment with note timing and exploring rhythmic patterns. It’s no secret that the Akai MPC series of drum machines are legendary for their feel and some even speculate that the vintage devices have more character than the new ones. Included with the Reason […]

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. […]

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 […]
