2e génération du synthétiseur additif virtuel au format Rack Extension pour Reason

Two Oscillators

• Classic RMI Digital Harmonic Generators with an all-analog audio path

• Modelled logarithmic, resistive potentiometers

• 16 harmonic level faders per oscillator allow precise harmonic adjustment

• New Shape fader allows the waveform to be adjusted from the bit-limited, rectified RMI default to a sine

• Additionally, the original design of 5-bit generators can be adjusted down to 4-bit for an even more lo-fi tone, or up to 8-bits to provide a pure (or at least, an 80's era) sine when minimizing the Shape control

• Full analog ADSR envelope generator, with adjustable curves

• Note Off triggering option for Oscillator 2 allows you to play the note with an AHD envelope after it has been released!

• Oscillator Filter, Octave Select and Tuning, and Volume level

• Oscillator 1 can now directly Ring Modulate Oscillator 2

• Independent oscillator panning

• Mono Retrigger, Mono Legato, and Polyphonic voicing options. (Up to 64 voices can be set, but we recommend 6-12 voices)

• Up to 16x oversampling to remove aliasing during rendering (Please note increasing oversampling may alter the timbre of the noise generator function; in this scenario reduce the oversampling).

Multiple Presets

• Use the harmonic generators directly by adjusting the harmonic faders, or via presets. Multiple presets can be used simultaneously

• Modelled parallel resistor network

• Oscillator 1 features a Pulse generator, the four original RMI presets, plus a new and exclusive preset, "Strings"

• Oscillator 2 can be Synced to Oscillator 1, and you can select from a Pulse generator, three original RMI presets, plus another new and exclusive preset, "Complex"

Tremulant Modulation

• Separately adjustable vibrato and tremolo

• Syncable or free-running, mono or polyphonic LFO

• While we've kept the original single-LFO of the original keyboard, additional CV LFO inputs can be used to over-ride the internal LFO to those targets. Combinator presets for Malstrom LFO output and a selection of third-party LFO devices are included

• New in version 2: Two additional internal LFOs are now available to control Osc 2 tremulance and Filter tremulance respectively

Automatic Sequencer/Arpeggiator

• Both of the RMI sequencer modes, "Up" and "Random", are available, and for the JPS can be free-running or synced, with key hold (which in the original keyboard was obtained by literally shoving wooden sticks above the keys and into the case to hold them down!) and we've also added a polyphonic gated mode!

Noise Modulation

• Colour-adjustable noise generator (pink to white) which can be used to frequency modulate the oscillators for a wide range of classic noise effects like percussion, traps, wind and thunder

Dynamic Filter

• The RMI Filter is modelled using an advanced Zero-Delay Feedback analog filter, and supplies mixable Low-, Band- and High-Pass outputs

• Q/Resonance amount

• A Filter Frequency control has been added for more precise operation

• Sinusoidal LFO modulation (with external LFO and internal LFO3 over-ride option)

• Up/Down envelope sweep, with adjustable curve

• Oscillator 2 can be internally routed to the filter

• The original monophonic external audio input into the filter on the Oscillator 1 channel is also available

Pitch-Bend

• The RMI features both portamento and an attack-envelope shaped pitch-bend with adjustable curve

• The JPS adds a pitch-wheel with a dual-direction range setting on each oscillator for complex and unique pitch-bend range programming; send Osc 1 pitch UP and Osc 2 pitch DOWN with just a pitch wheel upmovement!

Everything Automation­™! (CV Galore!)

• All front panel controls can be automated via sequencer and Remote™, and there is a CV input for all the Harmonic Synthesizer controls, including dedicated LFO inputs to over-ride the internal LFO to the five internal LFO targets. [ except Over-sample and Binary Adder]

Extensive Patches

• 799 Harmonic Synthesizer patches, including over 200 Signature presets by some of Reason's leading patch-makers, including alteree, eXode, Navi, Odarmonix, and Weebl.
• 52 Reason-only Combinators
• 46 Modular RE Combinators
• 5 TMA Tutorial Combinators

New in 

2.0.0

• Three alternative views: click the Circle/Square/Triangle View buttons at the top left of the Digital Harmonic Generators to select from:

• Standard Harmonic Synthesizer: this view only includes the main Harmonic Synthesizer controls, but crucially it shows both DHG1 and DHG2 sliders in the same screen, for more easily adjustable side-by-side harmonic comparison and editing +Extended Control Panel: single DHG edit, switch-able between DHG1 and DHG2, but with extended controls, including those previously found only on the back panel, such as pitch bend ranges, plus the additional LFOs. This Extended Control view also allows controls formerly on the back panel to be automated and Remote™ controlled +Acidman FX: single DHG edit, switch-able between DHG1 and DHG2, with the Acidman FX array, the classic Harmonic Synthesizer version 1 view

• Two additional LFOs:

• LFO 2 uses the Oscillator 2 Tremulant Shape, but has its own Rate control. It can be sent to up to three predefined internal targets or to CV outputs, and can also be used to override ("O-R") the standard LFO 1 rate used by Oscillator 2 voices, where it can be also be sent in mono or polyphonic LFO modes. Non-voiced targets are only available as a monophonic LFO

• LFO 3 has its own dedicated Rate, mono/poly voice Mode and Tremulant Shape, and when enabled ("O-R") overrides both the standard LFO 1 Rate and fixed Sine waveform used by the Filter Tremulant

Plus!

• Acidman Reverb now has two additional parameters, Pre-Delay and Density.

• The Reverb Mod amount has been tweaked and now has a far bigger range

• New anti-aliasing engine with better rejection of aliasing frequencies and up to 25% improved DSP performance

• 16x Oversampling option added to Oversample control. Please note this is extremely CPU intensive and will be for bouncing or final rendering only in most usage scenarios, although be aware increasing Oversample can change the timbre of the Noise Generator function. You may prefer to leave Oversampling off, at the default 2x, or increase slightly to 4x when making extensive use of the Noise Generator

• Over 60 "2nd Edition New Sounds". As promised on Facebook, we've also re-categorised the less static "Pads" into more appropriate "Textures", or even "Poly Leads" sections

• Bug fix: High Attack curves (extreme logarithmic) could prevent the decay and sustain stages of the amp envelope triggering

• A copy of the long-thought-lost original spirit dupe of the Harmonic Synth v2 update feature set has been added to the user guides!
