Propellerhead has released a new funk-flavored ReFill, Soul School, that features the soul sounds of the 60’s and 70’s.

To introduce Soul School, Propellerhead put together several very nicely done videos that introduce the library and the people behind it.

The Reason Soul School ReFill is available for download through Propellerhead’s web shop for EUR €79 / USD $99.

The Soul School ReFill sample library features twelve unique soul and funk instrumentals with all their musical elements – bass, drums, guitars and horns – in Propellerhead’s tempo-independent REX format, as well as a collection of the 60’s and 70’s-sounding instruments multisampled for use with Reason’s NN-XT sampler and Combinator device.

Composed exclusively for this ReFill and recorded using vintage technology, all material was played live by funk-savvy session musicians – simultaneously, without overdubs.

Every drum fill, bass line, guitar riff and horn lick featured in Reason Soul School is in Propellerhead’s REX format, sampled in different keys for full flexibility and tempo independence.

Complementing the loops and licks are the multisampled versions of the included instruments, as well as the Reason Soul Keys ReFill, containing patches for the Reason Factory Sound Bank and Propellerhead’s free Electromechanical ReFill as well as Abbey Road Keyboards and Reason Pianos based on the Soul School sound.

This video takes a look at using Rex files with Propellerhead Record.

via PropellerheadSW:

It’s time to take a look at some ways to work creatively with REX files in Record. Record allows you to work with REX files in new, cool ways – in this tutorial, we learn a few of them.

Line 6

Record ships with built-in virtual Line 6 POD and Bass POD devices. On their own, the virtual POD and Bass POD offer three guitar amp models, two bass amp models and five cabinet models, respectively.

The addition of a compatible Line 6 audio interface, though, “unlocks” that hardware’s entire collection of amps and cabs, as well any user-made presets, for use within Record.

Compatible Line 6 effect processors and audio interfaces include the POD X3 family of products, POD Studio and TonePort interfaces. (Record users with iLok USB Smart Key-compatible POD Farm and POD Farm Platinum plug-ins from Line 6 receive the same functionality.)

Detail are available at the Line 6 site.

This tutorial looks at vocoding with Propellerhead Reason and Record.

via PropellerheadSW:

In this tutorial, we will learn how to hook up Reason’s vocoder to Record for use with a live audio input (aka robot singing). We’ll also learn how to put a vocoder on an existing audio recording.

Record is a truly impressive all-in-one recording solution that will appeal to users of varying skill levels. Its creative approach to many areas of music production will certainly give it an edge in a field already crowded with choice.

The program’s amazing CPU efficiency and almost unbelievable internal mixer are certainly its major strengths.

Combine this with total Reason 4 integration, and you may see people moving from other DAWs to join the party.

See the full review here. See our earlier posts about Propellerhead Record, too.

“We figured it was time that someone took a fresh look at recording from a musician’s perspective. Not needing to bolt music features onto an aging audio application, we truly started from scratch with full knowledge of today’s computer architectures and capabilities. Record is the result,” says Ernst Nathorst-Böös, CEO.

TB-303 & Reason 4.0 – Using Reason to Generate DIN Sync

Using classic synth gear with music software has never been easier. This video demos synchronizing a Roland TB-303 with Propellerhead Reason by using CV/Pulse signals routed through a MOTU 896HD interface.

Clock and Control Signals are generated in Reason Devices and converted to audio signals. The audio is then passed through a converter cable that connects to any Roland DIN-Sync device like the 303, 606, 808, 909, etc.
