1
In Graintable Synthesis, a "grain" is:
an index point
a point at which a filter slopes down
a seed from which a sound sample grows
a tiny slice of audio
2
In Reason's Malström, when we turn the Motion knob to the left, we are:
slowing down the rate the at which the synth will advance through the grains
slowing down the audio file
slowing the rate of the modulation
lowering the pitch of the audio file
3
In a combinator, we can only add 1 effect per device. True or false?
True
False
4
In Subtractor, the velocity can only control the volume. True or false?
False
True
5
What are the 4 basic sections of a subtractive synthesizer?
Wavetable, Envelope, LFO, Filter
Oscillator, Filter, Envelope, Amp
Wavetable, Preset, Filter, Effect
Oscillator, LFO, Preset, Effect
6
The Reason devices used in this course are Subtractor, Malström, and:
NN-XT
Thor
Dr. Octo-Rex
NN-19
7
What are the four most standard waveforms?
Rectangle, Triangle, Circle, Square
Sine, Triangle, Square, Rectangle
Sine, Rectangle, Square, Sawtooth
Sine, Triangle, Square, Sawtooth
8
In order to see the devices inside of Reason's Combinator, we need to press the button labeled:
Show Devices
Show Settings
Show Interface
Show Routing
9
ADSR stands for:
Always Decide to Support Reason
Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release,
Amplitude, Damping, Sustain, Resonance
Amplitude, Decay, Sustain, Resonance
10
In a filter, the cutoff frequency is:
The frequency reached when the knob is turned all the way counterclockwise
The frequency at which the slope of the cutoff begins
The frequency at which the slope of the cutoff ends
The frequency reached when the knob is turned all the way clockwise
11
Basically, Maelström's Mod A and Mod B sections are:
Modulation effects (Chorus, Flanger or Phaser)
Envelopes
LFOs
Filters
12
There are ____ semitones in an octave.
12
100
24
8
13
A very slow attack and release on the Amp Envelope is good to create:
bass sounds
organ sounds
pad sounds
lead sounds
14
LFO stands for...
Low Frequency Oscillator
Long Frequency Output
Loop Feedback Oscillator
Loud Filter Output
15
Which type of filter will attenuate high frequencies?
Notch
Low Pass
All answers are correct
High Pass
16
For a typical Lead sound, we want the attack on the amplitude envelope to be slow. True or false?
True
False
17
Two oscillators and two LFOs are available in Subtractor. True or false?
False
True
18
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
Subtractive
FM
Granular Synthesis
19
To get to the back of a Reason device, in order to see the routing and cabling, we use the ______ keyboard shortcut.
Enter
Shift-Tab
Shift-Enter
Tab
20
In Subtractive Synthesis, what are we "subtracting"?
Filters
Frequencies
Envelopes
Oscillators
21
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 Shaper
Nowhere-it does not output
Immediately to the Filter
Immediately to the output
22
Timbre is:
the frequency of a sound and its resulting overtones
the color of a sound
the basic frequency of a sound
the distance between the lowest and highest notes
23
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
Amplitude (volume)
Mix Amount
24
Which of the following is a parameter for fine-tuning the pitch?
Semi
Waveform
Oct
Cent
25
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
