"I'm using 2 x GorF sequencers, 1 of which is driving the Meeblip and the other my Shruti-1. There's also 1 x Tron Drum pattern Programmer driving, via MIDI, the MFB-522 drum brain. Third GorF is ready to be hooked up to Zira when it's completed.

52 Reason / Record Tips - Week 52: Thor's Modulation Bus and Step Sequencer

YouTube Uploaded by PropellerheadSW on Apr 15, 2011

"It's hard to believe it's been 52 Tips already but now we've all got the Reason/Record chops to prove it! For those of you who have been with me since week one, I'm so proud you came all this way with me. For those of you just coming into the series, boy do you have more goodies to find in our past episodes!

In this final week's Tip I'm going to show you around Thor's final sections: The Modulation Bus and Step Sequencer. With these sections under your belt you'll have completed my multi-week "Synth School" series and hopefully be able to approach custom synth sound design with a whole new bag of tricks.

Now there's nothing else to do but to get out there, use this knowledge, and start making more music than ever before!!!"

iMKS-70 v1.2 Wireless iPad Editor Now Available

"Apple has released iMKS-70 v1.2 for Roland MKS-70 v1.08, a free upgrade for all iMKS-70 v1.1 users.

iMKS-70 v1.2 offers:
- a redesigned look & feel for enhanced readability plus some very tiny UI adjustments to make the workflow even better
- parameter default value buttons. In v1.2, if you touch the parameter value label, it resets the label / slider to a default value (ex: VCO wave = Saw; VCF Freq = wide open, etc...) for each parameter... this is the fastest workflow you'll ever get in sound designing!"
