6. Pull down the Create menu and select Subtractor Analog Synth,
and then Redrum Drum Computer.
You have now added two instrument devices to the rack. If you look in the
sequencer, you will note that two tracks have automatically been added, one
for the synthesizer and one for the drum machine.
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 create 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 a large number of patches and samples
that are included 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 dis-
play.
