Everything looks like it should be working. I can have a look at the .rns file if you don't mind sending it.

Just pm'd you the links. Any help appreciated!

I got it working. I think the problem was that you just didn't have any notes written down for the sampler to play.



Here's the modified .rns file:

Do you know how to use the CV from the vocoder as effects controllers?

I can twist shit inside out with the vocoder I could send you an example if you like.

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Thanks for checking this out. You're right, writing the notes in seems to have it up and running. Half my headache is gone already.

One question though - when I've set this up in the past I've been able to just play the notes from my controller to initiate the sampler - I shouldn't have to draw them in there, should I?

Again - really appreciate the help!

Remember the Carrier signal malstrom needs to be triggered as well as the sampler. Write a chord seq in malstrom and then trigger the sampler and run it

^ Sonic_c has it right.

Yes, the vocoder needs an input from your NN19 or whatever, but also needs a carrier (ie notes on the vocoders channel - usually a chord) for it to work. Without any carrier you will have no sound.

I love using Reason's vocoder as an EQ. You can get some really great sounds by making some radical cuts or boosts and then running the result through a distortion unit.

Does anyone use it as an effects controller?

I learned this uncommon use from a friend its a bit complex for someone new to reason. I might post a picture tutorial or I will make a combinator and post a link.
