This course examines Reason’s unique instrument, the Combinator, in detail. Its unique capabilities are explored. Of all the instruments and FX in Reason and Record, no other device is as simple, powerful, and yet as mysterious as the Combinator.
In this tutorial, G.W. Childs, one of the original Combinator sound designers for Reason 3 and Reason 4, will give you step-by-step examples detailing the ins and outs of the Combinator, while showing you how to create powerful, new Combinators using hot new instruments like Kong. You’ll get in-depth examples of how to design your own elaborate and powerful instruments by combining instruments and FX together. Additionally, you’ll learn how to create your own FX presets by combining loads of different FX devices. You’ll even get cool examples in how to remix your own tracks using the Combinator!
This course also includes an exclusive Refill collection designed by G.W. exclusively for this course. You can use its presets to follow along, or just use the performance Combinators, drum Combinators, and FX Combinators for your own musical creations.
Think of this tutorial as a Combinator cookbook, giving you examples in how to build beastly audio pies that are not only savory, but killer!
