Get to Know Reason's Combinator - Your gateway to huge sounds 

Wow 🤩 one of the most informative videos on the combinator to date .. you have now open me up to the next level ..😩🤩🤩😝. I’m now gonna explore more design with confidence. Thanks 😊

This dude is one of the greatest explainers of all time lol! So patient and clear

Combinator was and still is a great utility. One of the great Reason core innovations.

This...This is why no matter how much I've used FL Studio in the past years why I'm obsessed with Reason. Its colorful, it feels like youre in a studio and you can be as simple or complex as you want. All the sounds are top notch, I hardly ever get close to maxing our my CPU/DSP load and being able to flip the rack around and connect cables and everything makes it just so much fun for me. For so long I was in the trap of using what all the other famous producers were using but enough of that. Reason inspires me every time I open it up and I notice that I make different music that I want to instead of emulating what everyone else is doing. Thank you Reason for bringing me to enjoying the art of music production. 😀

I don't have enough life left to explore all this.

The new Combinator is so much fun!! It reignited my passion for finding new and interesting ways to make sound and music while creatively exploring my way through "designing" my own dream racks easily! 👏

I was waiting for someone to explain the new combinator coherently thanks Ryan.

Fantastic! I'm really looking forward to more of these types of videos!

The video that i was waiting for, regarding the new combinator. It's all i expected and more! Beautiful!

IMO.. Fricktion At the Very Least, Should Have Definitely came with Version 12!

Ryan, You my friend are phenomenal at explaining not only Reason's devices, but other music related concepts as well. Your video explaining FM synthesis with Algoritm is by far the best I've seen and I appreciate you for that. I need more videos like this. Thanks!

Awesome. Definitely diving deeper into creating and saving custom patches. Major time saver.

You make some of the most concise, clear, and useful videos of anyone out there. Gracias!

I spend hours each day on RU-vid, and I’ve got to say you are indeed one of the best presenters I’ve seen. And outstanding video production as well. Kudos! God bless.

This is the absolute best Reason tutorial I've viewed to date. I was so on the fence regarding upgrading to Reason-12 based on other comments and videos. However, the capacity you've demonstrated via the combinator accompanied by another video of yours (Mimic), has pushed me over the edge. This will make a nice addition to my workflow and evolving creative prowess. Thanks

fantastic! this is just about everything I've ever wanted from the combinator. seamless integration with hardware controllers will make this indispensable. still a game changer 💜

This video presentation is one of the best created that I have ever seen!! The visuals along with the precise and detailed explanation of components in Reason, helps me so much in understanding the combinator, and other facets of Reason. I have not used my Reason (v. 9) -at all - due to its complexity of operation. Its been unused for a very long time. This gives me a better understanding of this product and I will have to revisit this. Thank you for your excellent presentation and your time!! :D

I started with Reason+ just yesterday - OMG it is awesome. Amazing work guys and another brilliant video!!

Another great , lucid, and inspiring tutorial. I have never touched the combinator. That's all about to change big time. The potential here is unlimited.

Great video! You did a good job giving people an understanding of the depth of customization that is possible. Looking forward to trying out the new features keep up the good work @Reason team!

Great Video. Always a pleasure watching you. Thanks so much for sharing.🤗

What a brilliant tutorial! Thank you, Ryan, I really enjoyed watching this video. "What I really really want" 😄

Really clear and concise.bought it reason 12 yesterday.big jump from reason 4.,but I've been watching alot of tutorials before I got it.cheers

Man... What a wonderful and informative "Get to Know" video. I always knew the Combinator was powerful but boy was I clueless on the expansion of this great tool in REASON. I'm still running REASON 10 but this information makes it feel like I've ungraded to REASON 12 (okay maybe a little). Thank you for this information, it served its purpose... it helped.

Ryan, your videos are added value to the whole Reason experience! Ask for a rise 🙂 Great sounds, tools, graphics, tutorials and amazing workflow makes Reason a great choice for making music! 😎

so much love was put into combinator, this is awesome

Great video's man! I love Reason and you're opening up a lot of new doors with these video's. Well done!

Where was this guy when I needed tutoring in school ?? What a great tutor ! Thanks for the video

learned more in 20 minutes than almost 20 years experience with reason from this guy right here! Thank you! Please keep these vids coming!

Ryan, you and the team always put together such fantastic and insightful videos. I REALLY hope you plan to dig deep into a part 2, and follow up on this one. Wonderful inspiration, thank you.

Thank you for a really informative tutorial Ryan. I'm really looking forward to creating some of my own Combinators after watching that. The new Combinator was well worth the price of upgrading to Reason 12.

Excelent Tutorial. Now i love Combinators. I realized that i am combining already a lot of stuff in my Tracks. But this method is really cool. Makes much more sense. Appreciate it.

I started my production path using Rebirth back in the day, when moved into Reason I remember being blown away by the Combinator. It is really something more than 10 years later to still see Combinator tutorials. Its been a long time since I used Reason, but when I look back to this old friend I can only smile.

I love the richness and cleanliness of this combo setting!! Great tutorial, thank you!!🙏🙏💜 I'll be lost for 6 hours in the process of creating/designing my own patch on just Combinator alone, dude! LOL

WOW...Im truly amazed...I knew what it was but never looked further than presets....This could be so much fun and allowing to alter switches and backgrounds...Just ace !!!! Truly blown away with all this.... Just shows we never stop learning...Ive used reason for Years but im still staggered at the updates, players, etc etc,,and now combinators....WOW....

Ryan I hope you live forever ! Bless this day I found out this information

Wow, I wasn't aware of that "map to Combi" tip!! 😳😱 12:59

Thank you for demystifying combis! So helpful!

Awesome new combinator concept!

Ryan really is the man, you listen to him for 20 minutes and you want to dive into these instantly !

Interesting stuff !!! Very insightful....

Excellent tutorial

Awesome video! Very educational!

Great video Ryan! Super clear!

very interesting add on to the good old combinator device....reason is always more powerful in live likewise studio, great job.

Thank you for doing this!

"save bookmark to Reason Tutorials folder...check." Good video. I've been using combinators since 4 but still learned a lot.

I wish you guys made a video on how to use reason for live performances, because I think reason can totally be used for live performances, its just very underground with the info. It would be amazing if you guys developed a live mode, like with ableton, or something that is for performance. Just a thought. Everything else is brilliant, so not much to complain on.

Ryan is a great teacher! Love the content!

Love the vibe of this video

Very helpful video!!

great job! thank you!

That was a super interesting video. Side note, my brain also melted!

I have 8 devices from Comb II already and it's great! Bringing Reason back to what it's meant to be IMO! Two requests - preset controls (option buttons/preset knobs) and scaling options for control tool tips.

Awesome - thank you

Simply beautiful tools

This is why I've been using Reason for over 10 years now. I started as a beatmaker, but the nature of this program forces you to learn technical aspects of music and I've also fallen in love with audio engineering and sound design.

This video was superb

Briljant. Thank you.

Love the combi, main reason I use this DAW. I've created some ethereal beautiful combis that I love.

Thanks Great tutorial 👍👌

Thank you ❤❤❤❤ I am loving my tablet as an automation mixer for 3rd party VSTS 🤓🤓🤓

Mimic and the new combinator are amazing! I use mimic to do all my kicks and it's so intuitive, I get exactly what I want.

the new combinator is great, but guys there are so many glitches in 12 it's bananas. i can no longer get through a project without it crashing...please please please fix these glitches.

So USEFUL ❤

I use the combinators as templates for my hardware gear so i have all the routings done so when i want to access CC details its already set up and i can tweak straight away. Even the players are great for connecting to outboard gear. Reason user from Day 1. :)

I love that you've upgraded the Combinator after all these years. I've always said it's Reason's greatest tool. However, I'm going to wait to upgrade until you add at least 2 of the following: stepped knobs, radio buttons, cycling buttons, momentary buttons, x-y/joystick controls, group editing(i.e. being able to select 16 knobs and turn them into faders in one click, instead of building the thing, deciding you really should've used faders instead of knobs and then having to change it one control at a time), value-responsive displays, per-patch remote map exporting, and, of course, double the amount of current possible controls(from 32 to 64).

This alone makes reason a must have. You should be required to put out a whole series just for Combinator.

This is really great

The Combinator rocks, no doubt, but I don't really have any complaints with the way it worked in version 3 through 11 either. Was a groundbreaking idea for Props Reason when it came out, and it let you build some amazingly complex stuff to easily re-use and share.

This is why I love Reason. Endless possibilites with an intuitive interface. The new combinator is dope! I can't understand why people complain about the R12 update. For me this new combinator alone is worth the money.

This is awesome

Dude too much possibilities, the patches already sound amazing to me.

Ryan--I think a Combinator part 2 is in order--thank you!

It's really great!

Ryan i had wanted this new combinator for so long man...and you guys delivered too...but a little too late man...now my workflow is Ableton and RRP...and its much simpler to just save any RRP patch as a vstpatch in Ableton...you know...maybe a few years ago i would have been excited like a child over this new combinator...use to be a dream to design me own hybrid instruments complete with a faceplate and proper controls and stuff...also after seeing so many complaints about Reason12 on the forums, its very sad that reason has lost its dependability as a software...which had always been why i always preferred reason over other stuff out there...maybe if you guys could bring back the stability of reason back by version 13 or 14, I'll upgrade then after a few years...as if now i think id rather have a stable version 11 than the new version which could be buggy...you know...sorry man...will upgrade after a couple of years...

Good Video!

thanks . You are the best

13:24 Would love to see this level of UI enhancement added in the future, it is a potentially nice clean method to convey to users of the combi exactly what a control is affecting and the range it applies to. Granted it would have to be limited as you couldn't just keep adding circular rings of information, and would be challenging to implement, but still it has very clear benefits.

this was mind blowing

New HD graphics... just perfect!

Thanks a lot!

Reason just keep on strumming the strings of the mad scientists' heart👍👍🔥🔥

combinator was a brand-new beast the last time i took a look at reason.

Great job! In french : c’est le taf que je fait a créer des rack ds ableton live 11 ! Mis à mon sens plus accès sur le son car plus intuitif et avec le push 2 on oublie le côté ordi souris etc et on écoute ! Les maccros sont mieux foutu sur live ! Par contre niveau son etc c’est good ! J’ai reason 11 donc pas de blêmes ok juste un vis perso pour accès le taf sur le son ! Vouala ! Don’t give up it’s great passion

I hope they add a “Radio button” type for selecting patterns on Redrum etc.

I littraly use the same two custom commentators downloaded in 2007 still to this day. Commentators made by sound designers where already incredible back then. While I'm not a sound desighner but I do experiment but I also do grafic desighn so I'll be making some very nice looking combornators but it will be up to over people to see if they like the sounds I come up with.

Reason Studio es genial, me siento transportado al futuro, una herramienta muy versátil para músicos, que lástima que halla pocos Tutoriales en español,

Hi! Great video! I wouldlike to Use reason for live performances with combinators - Is there any possibility that the audiofiles in Mimic or other Wav player device can warp - stretch audio to match the bpm? Thank you.

I'd give this 10 thumbs up if I could -- such a great video :)

thx for this - combinator2 is awesome - but i will wait until R12 updates so that often stated VST troubles are overcome - great vid tho

The new combinator is very nice. Now, please address and fix the obscene amount of bugs and crashing problems of this unfinished update.

reason studio needs to create deep dive tutorials for all their devices synths etc for the benefit of new users and also to attract new users into the reason ecosystem. i remember when i began using it back in the day it was so frustrating trying to learn how to use the devices with no prior knowledge of using synths etc and the stuff that was around at the time was often directed at people who already had a good working knowledge of using synths and effects etc.. things are better these days but theres plenty of room to improve things. i mean even an in depth series of short tutorials that shows how to use subtractor/malstrom/thor back to front from creating a simple to a more advanced combi patch would be a great place to start for beginners. video tutorials are so much easier to understand than reading complicated technical manuals etc

I get so overwhelmed with so many options that my head nearly explodes in a spectacular display of gore. lol

After years the combinator becomes the device it should have been for years... I really like Reason as a plugin... amazig toolbox!

I love this video and how you break it down. So I’m getting back in making beats and ass always I have problems lol. I’m using Apple and Reason 8.3 ( Refills & Patches ) What’s the Right place for me to put them? I placed them inside Reason Contents Folder but now I’m missing half of my ReFills . 2. My MPC Studio Gold will not work right as a controller if I hit pad 1 on my MPC Studio Gold Pad 2 Plays on Kong and so on

Is there an xy pad ? Also is there a way to add a button to show/hide a set of controls ? Also can i map pattern select buttons on players ? Can a row of buttons behave like a solo switch (only one of the button group is active at a time??)

To say you are good just isn't enough...you are the Jarvis of Reason my man! You speak for Reason just like Jarvis does for Tony Starks only you're far more charismatic and easy to listen to!

I HAVE USED REASON BEFORE YOU COULD MAKE VOCAL TRACKS WITH IT AND THE MORE I FIND OUT ABOUT IT THESE NEW DISCOVERIES KEEEP ME DEDICATED TO THE REASON FAMILY!!!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃

Great video Ryan. Really opened me up to new ideas for Combinators. Think this video should have been done on the Reason 12 release day but better late than never. Have you any intentions to do a part 2 where you delve a bit deeper?
