QUICK TUTORIAL

Now you could try playing the Subtractor synth “live” (provided you have a
MIDI keyboard or similar hooked up):
7. In the sequencer, click in the In column for the synthesizer track (to
the left of the name), so that a MIDI connector symbol is shown.
This symbol indicates that incoming MIDI is routed to the track. And since
the track is connected to the Subtractor device, any notes you play on
your MIDI keyboard will be sent to the synth.
MIDI routed to the Subtractor track.
8. Try playing your MIDI keyboard.
What you hear now is the default “Init” sound of the Subtractor, which
may not be so inspiring. You could start tweaking the parameters to cre-
ate a sound of your own, or you could select one of the included synth
patches (and tweak this to your liking):
9. Click the folder button on the Subtractor panel.
This opens the Patch Browser dialog.
10. Click the Find All ReFills button at the top of the dialog.
A ReFill is a kind of component package for Reason which can contain
patches, sounds, demo songs, etc. Clicking the Find All ReFills button tells
the browser to display all available ReFills.
11. In the browser file display, double click on “Reason Factory Sound
Bank”.
This is one huge ReFill containing all patches and samples that are in-
cluded with Reason when you purchase it.
12. Double click the folder “Subtractor Patches”.
This contains a number of folders with different sound categories.
13. Open one of the folders, select a patch and click Open.
The settings in the patch are applied and the patch name is shown in the
display.
➜
Once you have selected a patch this way, you can step between the
patches in the same folder, by clicking the up and down arrow but-
tons next to the patch display.
