1
The Sustain parameter sets the:
sustain level

2
If you want to hear both oscillators in Subtractor, you should leave the Mix knob all the way on the right. True or false?
True
False
3
In Reason's Malström, when we don't select any of the boxes from routing the signal, where does the sound go?
Immediately to the Filter
Immediately to the output
Nowhere-it does not output
Immediately to the Shaper
4
In Reason's Malström, Mod A and Mod B can be applied in three ways: To Oscillator one, oscillator two, and both oscillators at the same time. True or false?
False
True
5
What type of synthesis are you using if you start with a very rich sound and carve things aways from it to get the sound you want.
Additive
FM
Granular Synthesis
Subtractive
6
Timbre is:
the color of a sound
the distance between the lowest and highest notes
the frequency of a sound and its resulting overtones
the basic frequency of a sound
7
LFO stands for...
Low Frequency Oscillator
Long Frequency Output
Loud Filter Output
Loop Feedback Oscillator
8
In a filter, the cutoff frequency is:
The frequency at which the slope of the cutoff begins
The frequency reached when the knob is turned all the way clockwise
The frequency at which the slope of the cutoff ends
The frequency reached when the knob is turned all the way counterclockwise
9
There are ____ semitones in an octave.
100
12
24
8
10
Velocity refers to how hard we play the note on a keyboard. In Subtractor, this can be applied to:
All answers are correct
FM Amount
Mix Amount
Amplitude (volume)
11
What are the four most standard waveforms?
Sine, Triangle, Square, Rectangle
Sine, Rectangle, Square, Sawtooth
Rectangle, Triangle, Circle, Square
Sine, Triangle, Square, Sawtooth
12
To get to the back of a Reason device, in order to see the routing and cabling, we use the ______ keyboard shortcut.
Shift-Tab
Shift-Enter
Enter
Tab
13
The Reason devices used in this course are Subtractor, Malström, and:
Dr. Octo-Rex
NN-XT
Thor
NN-19
14
We start Thor's pattern sequencer by pressing the Run button, with one of three settings: Repeat, 1-Shot, or Step. What does the 1-shot setting do?
Plays the pattern one time through, then stops
Waits for the next Run button to be pressed
Plays the next step in the pattern sequencer, then stops
Plays the next beat of the pattern, then stops
15
ADSR stands for:
Amplitude, Decay, Sustain, Resonance
Amplitude, Damping, Sustain, Resonance
Always Decide to Support Reason
Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release,
16
A very slow attack and release on the Amp Envelope is good to create:
organ sounds
pad sounds
lead sounds
bass sounds
17
In order to see the devices inside of Reason's Combinator, we need to press the button labeled:
Show Routing
Show Settings
Show Interface
Show Devices
18
In Subtractor, the velocity can only control the volume. True or false?
True
False
19
For a typical Lead sound, we want the attack on the amplitude envelope to be slow. True or false?
True
False
20
The button we press to reveal the "guts" of Thor is:
Show Programmer

Envelopes
Filters
Oscillators
Frequencies
24
In Graintable Synthesis, a "grain" is:
an index point
a seed from which a sound sample grows
a tiny slice of audio
a point at which a filter slopes down
25
What are the 4 basic sections of a subtractive synthesizer?
Oscillator, LFO, Preset, Effect
Wavetable, Envelope, LFO, Filter
Wavetable, Preset, Filter, Effect
