THE COMBINATOR

152

Introduction

The Combinator is special device that allows you to save and recall any combination

of Reason devices (instruments, effects, mixers etc.) and their internal connections. A

saved Combinator setup can be loaded as a patch, called a “Combi”. The Combinator

device itself acts as a container for the devices in a Combi.

The basic idea behind the Combinator device is simple, but very powerful. Being able

to save multiple devices as a Combi enables you to instantly recall any type of setup,

however complex, as simply as loading a patch!

Some typical applications of the Combinator:

D Create split or layered multi-instruments.

Add any number of instrument devices (Subtractors, NN-XT’s etc.) and play them

as a single layered instrument. Instrument devices in a Combi can also be as-

signed to specific keyboard/velocity zones.

D Save instrument/effect combinations.

Save an instrument together with your favorite effect(s).

D Create multi-effect devices.

You can create and save complex effect chains as Combis.

About the Combi patch format

The Combinator saves files in the Combi (.cmb) patch format. When you load a ready-

made Combi patch, all devices included in the Combi, their corresponding parameter

settings and audio and CV connections are instantly recalled.

The Factory Soundbank includes many preset Combinator patches, divided into vari-

ous categories.

There are two basic types of Combi patches; instrument and effect combis.

D Instrument Combis contain instrument devices and generate sound.

D Effect Combis contain effect devices and are used to process sound.

The MClass Mastering Suite Combi (selectable from the Create menu) is an exam-

ple of an effect Combi.

Creating Combinator

devices

Creating an empty Combinator device

D Add a Combinator from the Devices tab in the Tool window.

To see the Combinator device icons, the “More” checkbox must be ticked.

D Select “Combinator” from the Create menu.

This will create an empty Combinator. Empty Combinator devices can be used as

a starting point when creating new Combi patches. It also allows you to browse for

existing Combi patches.

Creating a Combinator by combining devices

You can create a Combinator device by combining existing devices:

1. Select two or more devices using [Shift].

The devices do not have to be adjacent in the rack.

2. Select “Combine” from the Edit menu.

This creates a Combinator device containing the devices that were selected accord-

ing to the following rules:

D A sequencer track is created for the Combinator, just as when creating

instrument or pattern devices.

D The new Combinator device appears at the position below the selected

device that is farthest down in the rack.

D The selected devices are moved to be contained within the Combinator’s

“holder”.

Their internal order is not changed. Reason attempts to autoroute the first “input

device” and first “output device” to the Combi To/From Devices connectors - see

“About internal and external connections”. Other connections are unchanged.

D Devices outside the Combi remain in the same order as before.

! Please see “Adding devices to a Combi” for details about auto-routing.

Creating a Combinator by browsing patches

You can use “Create Instrument” or “Create Effect” to create a Combinator device

(just as you can any device). If you select a .cmb patch a Combinator will be created

containing all devices and settings saved in the Combi.
