Yeah I should've mentioned that! I pinned your comment so others might find out and get it. It's super useful! /ryan

where can we find this Skope?... thanks...

How true! My best tracks were born this way, learning something new and experimenting.

Each to their own, but... I enjoyed the mention of "_that super cool knob that makes my synth sound more agressively, dirtier and thicker_" a lot more when it comes to Pulsar :P Noone does it like the master once did IMO.

RIGHT?! As a video editor I'm in complete heaven with high res graphics in Reason now. I'm zooming in sometimes further than I should be just BECAUSE I CAN!!!! :) /ryan

Hey Greg! If people want more cabling videos I'll certainly be making more. I always try and balance the line between the hyper-creative side of Reason (the music making part) and the hyper-advanced side of Reason. The best results happen when those two words meet, of course. Thanks for watching and commenting! :) /ryan

More patching videos would be amazing to watch 😁

its the base...

that bit blew my mind as well haha

OMG right!? Back when I ran a commercial studio I tried to reduce the cost of real-world cables by buying connectors and bulk wire and soldering them myself but then I just bought nicer connectors and wire until it cost the same as before! :) /ryan

That can sometimes depend on the host app, though. For example in Ableton Live they use Tab to switch between their sequencer and "session view" and so it doesn't work there. Since it can be different in different apps, I stuck to always-safe option of clicking the button. But what host are you running the plugin in? I'm sure other people in that DAW would appreciate your tip! /ryan

@@ReasonStudios Hey Ryan, that was a top class video. Well presented and put together with the visuals on point, all nicely knitted and easy to understand, thank you.

You are SO right. I'll find some time to put chapters in there.

That is a fantastic observation Jordi and you are correct in what you're seeing but there's bit of a "yes, but" answer. Allow me to explain. In the case of sending control voltage in the form of Gate Out CV to a Gate In CV then yes, the amplitude or intensity of the gate signal can be interpreted as velocity by the receiving device (if it wants to on its end, which is the case with Kong's Gate In jacks. Other Gate In jacks might not want to consider velocity, for example The Echo Delay's Trig input just wants to know if the delay should be on or off so it doesn't care about amplitude). In my video I'm showing those blips of gate CV as narrow triangles but the reality is that they're actually instant attack blips. And so yes - for Gate signals, devices can and do interpret velocity. HOWEVER, and here's why this answer wasn't me just giving you a simple "yeah": in that second example where I'm sending a continuous "curve" CV signal from Pulsar into Kong, that's not an instant blip. It's a continuous waveform and so Kong has no method by which to determine velocity and so it reacts via the threshold method that I try to visualize with that dotted line in the graphics. Sending a higher amplitude sin wave won't get you a louder Kong drum velocity because it's triggering down low on the sin wave's path just as it crosses that threshold, not based on the eventual peak amplitude of that sin wave. Does that make sense? So the simple answer is when working with Gate CV in the traditional way, yes velocity can be determined from the gate CV amplitude but when doing weirder hacks and rule-bending between gate and curve CV that isn't the case. Hope that helps! Great question!! /ryan

@@ReasonStudios I wasn't aware that the receiving device could do so much "intelligent" processing of different types of incoming gate signal (which I've always visualised as simple pulses), but it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the detailed explanation!

In the last 4 videos I did on this channel before this one I used and showed the daw only. No plug-in. And this video is half plug-in and half daw. So that’s 90% daw and 10% plug-in if you’re doing the math. So I’m not sure what you mean to be honest.

@@RyanHarlin Good point. It’s just feels strange seeing any other DAW than Reason in official Reason Studios videos. Like seeing Pepsi in a Coca-Cola video. Im not convinced RS have a great deal of interest in Reason as a DAW, and this doesn’t help. Anyway, we’ll see what happens going forward. Hope I’m wrong. I love Reason. But Reason 12 needs serious work (the DAW, not the plug-in).

​@@Dogboy73 We have a GREAT deal of interest in Reason as a DAW. So there you go, straight from the horses mouth. Rest assured, we love our DAW and have lots of plans to keep improving it and make it better. The plugin just means more people can now use Reason, that can only be a good thing, right? /james

On the plus side, I guarantee that while you're learning you'll create little cool things that turn into creations! It's the nice little consequence of experimenting with something new - you end up with something new! :) /ryan
