The EEF (EQ-Echo-Filter System) is a modular sound processing system used within Reason 4 or Reason+Record 1.0 and above where you can load your own sounds devices and then process them through a series of oddball EQ, Echo, and Filter Combinators. Enable or disable each effect along the way. Then shape the parameters using the other Combinator rotaries and buttons.

Have you ever loaded up a really neat Thor Step Sequencer patch that sounds great? Have you then done all sorts of automation to make it behave the way you want it to in your track? Well in this week’s tip I’ll show you how to tame the Thor Step Sequencer so you can trigger it, transpose it, and use note on/off messages from a controller to “play” the pattern exactly how you want.

This week I’ll show you how the Nurse Rex module inside Kong is redefining Rex loops’ ease and creative potential in your music. Previously creating Rex chunks and triggering them in a track required some planning, ReCycle software, and locked you into a tempo once you made your custom Rex files. All that is a thing of the past in Reason 5 and what’s left is just unlimited experimentation.
