"ReasonとCubaseのMIDIエフェクト機能を組み合わせ、1本の弦の1つのノートだけで、2パート以上の伴奏をさせる工夫です。ここではエレピのコード白玉弾きとウォーキングベース風だけですが、何パートでも増やせます。"

"Reason and Cubase MIDI effects of a combination of features, one of the strings of single notes, but more than two parts is designed to accompany.
White Jade electric piano in this code is the only player to the wind and walking bass, and the increase in part-time."

What Does a Comb Filter Do?

"Although it is not an especially common type of filter, if you have a decent number of softsynths, you may have come across what is called a 'comb filter' (so named, because if you look at its frequency response, it looks like the teeth of a comb). Casual mucking about usually results in flanging type effects, which is all well and good, but why would you need that when your plug-in folder probably already has a dedicated flanging effect or two? While it is true that comb filters can be used for flanging type effects, where it really becomes useful is in doing a sort of basic physical modelling."
