New Reason Video "I cloned the SP-1200"

Nice.

Is this summing with the mixer really needed for mono?

[MuttReason]

Pretty cool. Ryan is the best thing about RS right now. We may still be waiting for a properly stable and reliable R12 (and it has been a loooooong wait, the launch last Sept feels eons ago) but at least we have Ryan entertaining and informing us while we're waiting. Also, Ryan, either it was snowing indoors when you went into that closet or you haven't dusted for years... I thought my junk cupboard was bad

Niceeee

Lol NOT THAT WHITE NOISE

[Mataya]

Great video.Thanks for sharing.

[Heater]

That was very good.

Ryan makes the absolute best tutorial/demonstration videos, hands down. Very interesting, and a lot of fun. Fantastic!

In order to match the frequency response accurately, I normally use a "sweep" sample instead of noise and make a graph.

Thank you Ryan. Unfortunately Dave Rossum will not be happy.

[eusti]

Wow! Nice one!!!

Maybe not? How would you do it without?

[Fusion]

Great video by Ryan as usual, but cannot use in Reason 11. Would be interested in a standard combinator if anyone has time

How about a Stereo Imager, set to mono?

Oh right. But that's a 1 for 1 device swap. I thought he meant putting any device in there to do the mono was unnecessary altogether. If someone says "you know your coffee doesn't need soy milk. That's unnecessary. You could use almond milk instead," then we're just talking about the old "6 of one, a half dozen of the other" kinda decisions.

I always thought by just connecting the left channel would sum it to mono... Doesn't it?

That's true when passing mono outputs around and back to a mix channel but in this case the Combinator effect would be loaded and auto-cabled with a stereo signal and only hooking up a left cable inside the Combinator would just strip the right signal out of the chain and you'd only hear the left channel information even if it was now centered in the stereo field. So for example, say you used this on a drum loop where there was a cowbell only on the right side of the stereo field. If you put this Combinator on without a mono-sum you would get a centered image but the cowbell would be missing. Make sense?

Need to try this. Always thought it sums to mono. And if this is true, not beeing able to use the right cable only is even more strange than i thought until know ...

My idea was that the mixer routing seemed like a hack to get a mono signal, while we have a device available that actually mono-izes a signal without specific cabling.

Great Ryan! Always nice to get these videos keep them coming! Great clone.

[challism]

Awesome job here Ryan! I absolutely love this kind of thing. Great tutorial video.

And thank you for sharing this patch with us.... I think it's going to be used A LOT by the Reason community. You did a great job with the GUI; looks gorgeous.

[dioxide]

Good video, I enjoyed it. I always think the 'secret sauce' of some devices is a bit overrated. Another aspect of the sound of classic samplers is clipping or overdriving the inputs by accident. I didn't even know clipping was a thing when I had a hardware sampler in the 90s. I imagine lots of other people would have been the same.

The L.A. Clippers knew. And Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[Creativemind]

Absolutely brilliant Combinator Ryan and great gui. Good video. However, I could still hear a difference, especially on the bass loop sample. The 1200 sounded better. On the bass it seemed to have a bit more low end kind of, dunno, more bassy I suppose but could just hear it. This was through not really pro at all earbuds too, will check with my KRK cans tomorrow.

Anybody else still hear a difference?

These are the kinds of "extras" that could add alot of value to a R+ subscription, instead of (or in addition of) the usual weekly patch packs.
