November 2014 - The in-program phaser
in Reason is not the DAW's strongest
feature. This very fact has been picked up
by "That Music Company": they
developed a very fine phaser which can be
yours for the price of about 15 euros.
Presenting the T2 Phaser Rack Extension!
Rack
Extensions. It's Propellerhead's name for
the Reason internal plug-in format. You get
a few when you purchase Reason, you can
download one or two for free but the bulk
can be discovered by visiting the "Prop
Shop". For
a DUB engineer, browsing the Rack Extensions
can be, well, time-consuming. After all,
most are aimed at the production of EDM
("Electronic Dance Music") and
will not really add much to the standard
effects and instruments in Reason. Not
so with the T2 Phaser (see picture, click to
enlarge). It's
the second device created by the small Rack
Extension developer "That Music
Company", based
in San Jose (California, USA) and it truly
is an extension to your rack.
First
thing that stands out is the price. For
about 15 euros, the T2 is yours. That's
fifteen euros to de facto replace Reason's
standard phaser because as soon as you run
the T2 in your set up you'll hear the power
in the thing. It
basically has three main sections:
Overdrive, Phaser and HPF (Hi-Pass Filter).
Overdrive and HPF will add vibes to the main
sound the Phaser section produces. You can
set waveforms and on top of that, different
steps. Pan effects belong to the
possibilities too, you can even trigger the
T2 by midi notes. Got
Reason? Get the T2. It's that simple. Just
download the phaser, you will have thirty
days to discover the fully functional device
before you will undoubtedly decide to have
it permanently in your effect collection.
