as title says.

1. your favourite synth
2. your favourite effect


mine are:

1. thor. Monster of a synth that is barely matched by anything else i have seen, be it analogue or digital
2. BV512. may seem like a wierd choice but that thing is simply too good. 32-band eq with vocoder, good fx and 35 cvports? hell, yes!

1. Thor
It's hard to top a device that can act as a synth, an LFO generator, a cv source, an audio switcher, an audio effects unit, and a synthesizer.

2. Pulveriser
The amount of raw energy you can get out of this device is terrific. I like to use this on parallel channels of drums.

as far as RE's go, im too random in my approach to have an absolute favourite ;)

but in hindsight my most reached for stock devices are definitely the dr octorex and the RV 7000 reverb,
im still using R7 and and the only thing that makes me interested in going to R8 at this point is the RV7000 mk2
it would be hands down my favourite stock device if i upgrade ;)

honourable mention go's to the echo unit

Reason:
Subtractor - It's very deep yet simple
Pulveriser - Awesome for chorus, dirt and audio rate modulation

REs:
PX7 - Looks and sounds great
Primal Audio PMS-20 - It made me rethink filters. Too good!

Reason:
Malström - It's quirky and unique.
Pulveriser - Because it does so many things from subtle warmth to pulverizing.

RE's:
Antidote - Because it's simple to use and sounds fantastic
Echobode - Because it's like a cousin to Pulveriser, from subtle modulation FX to full-on crazy! :)

Stock:
Malström - i get complex sounds out of it, not so complicated as thor (i also like thor but its a bit to much sometimes ;D)
The MClass Compressor - gets so much use in every project (especially for sidechaining synth and bass with bassdrums)

RE:
no instrument RE bought
EVE AT-1 - i recently made a template with an AT-1 in every insert of my splitted redrum channels. love the easy aproach on it

RE Mastering:
EVE MP5 - newly bought on the sale. since then it has its place in every master chain
Ozone Maximizer - use it for most of my tracks (mclass maximizer when it is a process heavy project (yes im not 2-track mastering))
:reason: :record: :re: :refill: :ignition: - 12 - Hobbyist
minimal techno - deep minimal dubstep - drum 'n' bass/neurofunk - brostep/deathstep - band recording

Reason Stock:

1. Thor - Great for using as a connecting piece in a complex combinator; can process audio, be used as LFO/Enevlope source, sequencer, and the mod matrix allows for so much. Thor really helps glue things together.

2. Rv7000 MKII - Since the latest update, adding convolution reverb and the ability to load custom algorithms from any sample, this reverb unit has become my go to. I still do love the reverb on Antidote, or synapse Deep Reverb and Fat Space. I use all three; RV7000 mkII gets favorite though because of all of the features.


Rack Extensions:

1. Vecto - Great oscillators and samples, can use the vector pad to do incredible things ranging from modulation, volume, pitch bending; the list is endless. I have all of Rob Papens synths; they are all great in their own way. This one has become my absolute favorite for the things mentioned before.

2. Polar - Trippy as fuck! the buffer lock can create some really strange, interesting, and pleasant rhythms out of any sound. the pitch shifting is also superb. So many knobs to shape the sound into something completely awesome. Could not do without this one.


Big shout out to my man Malström, Thor can just do more in terms of linking and modulating all of my RE's in a combinator, and I use mostly RE's now.

I also like Parsec, a lot. It seems kind of watered down and limited sometimes though.

It's difficult to pick only one in each category, especially in effects because of all the use case scenarios, but if I had to:

Synth
Thor - Beyond its seemingly endless synth capabilities, it's also one of the most useful tools in Reason. I had to choose it overall.
Runner up: Korg Polysix... because it's just so easy to use and always sounds lovely to me. Malström, Subtractor and Antidote gets just as much use.

Effect
GQ-7 because it's simply my most used effect.
Runner up: Too many to list... Echobode, RV7000, The Echo, Polar, GClip, FRG-4RE, D-Filter, FET, Saturation Knob, TSAR-1, DR-1

Utility
Selig Gain by a mile.
Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.

Synth: Thor. Just a beast of a synth. So easy to get great sounds out of it.

Effect: RV7000MKII. I have a bunch of reverb RE's but this is the one i always start with.

RE Synth: Tres because it sounds really punchy and the filter sounds great.

RE Effect: Devaster2. My fav distortion. Great sound and is great for subtle grit.
