Fm Synthesis in Reason 4 part 1

Fm Synthesis in Reason 4 part 1 FM synthesis is a method of generating sounds using 2 or more signals. One modulates the other and by definition it would return a different sound.

Just as a reference to a complete math book about it: standford documentation on FM Synthesis To back up my own thoughts on the whole FM Synthesis, I understand most of this while programming the FM-Pac (or FM-Pack, or OPLL) made by Yamaha in 1986.

Propellerhead Reason 4 - A Patch a Day

Hellspawn Hyds Version

Hellspawn Hyds Version Hellspawn is a combinator patch that caught my eyes yesterday evening again. I have been using it from time to time in some of my stuff. However, I found it more interesting to analyze it a bit further and finding there are a few things in the patch that don't add up. Take for instance the Mixer + spider that apperently don't have much use (unless its programmed inside the combi... haven't checked that one). But then again, I wanted something more 'different' then just this patch and build my own. Basically, the idea is that it is build through a distortion -> fuzz -> chorus. Thats the initial approach I went for. However, since I also like to space out my stuff over left vs right I duplicated the whole setup making minor changes in the left / right channel. ...

Patch me a river Thor

Patch me a river Thor

Patch me a river Thor This thingy was done in less then 5 minutes... its a thor patch, connected the Step sequencer to the notes to be triggered, and go wild on the position thingy inside the 2 wavetables (Mixed Waves 3). The trick I am doing here is that both positions to the exact opposite of one another. Making it a very rich sound thingy to play with.
