1
In Reason's Malström, when we turn the Motion knob to the left, we are:
lowering the pitch of the audio file
slowing the rate of the modulation
slowing down the rate the at which the synth will advance through the grains
slowing down the audio file
2
Two oscillators and two LFOs are available in Subtractor. True or false?
False
True
3
What are the four most standard waveforms?
Sine, Rectangle, Square, Sawtooth
Sine, Triangle, Square, Rectangle
Sine, Triangle, Square, Sawtooth
Rectangle, Triangle, Circle, Square
4
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
5
Basically, Maelström's Mod A and Mod B sections are:
Envelopes
Filters
LFOs
Modulation effects (Chorus, Flanger or Phaser)
6
The _____ controls the volume of the sound over time.
Amplitude Envelope
Modulation Envelope
Filter Envelope
7
Velocity refers to how hard we play the note on a keyboard. In Subtractor, this can be applied to:
Mix Amount
All answers are correct
Amplitude (volume)
FM Amount
8
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.
Granular Synthesis
Subtractive
FM
Additive
9
In a filter, the cutoff frequency is:
The frequency reached when the knob is turned all the way clockwise
The frequency at which the slope of the cutoff ends
The frequency at which the slope of the cutoff begins
The frequency reached when the knob is turned all the way counterclockwise
10
What are the 4 basic sections of a subtractive synthesizer?
Oscillator, LFO, Preset, Effect
Wavetable, Envelope, LFO, Filter
Wavetable, Preset, Filter, Effect
Oscillator, Filter, Envelope, Amp
11
Which type of filter will attenuate high frequencies?
All answers are correct
Low Pass
Notch
High Pass
12
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
Plays the next step in the pattern sequencer, then stops
Plays the next beat of the pattern, then stops
Waits for the next Run button to be pressed
13
In order to see the devices inside of Reason's Combinator, we need to press the button labeled:
Show Devices
Show Settings
Show Routing
Show Interface
14
The button we press to reveal the "guts" of Thor is:
Show Settings
Show Interface
Show Programmer
Show Devices
15
For a typical Lead sound, we want the attack on the amplitude envelope to be slow. True or false?
False
True
16
In Subtractive Synthesis, what are we "subtracting"?
Frequencies
Filters
Envelopes
Oscillators
17
In Graintable Synthesis, a "grain" is:
a tiny slice of audio
an index point
a point at which a filter slopes down
a seed from which a sound sample grows
18
In a combinator, we can only add 1 effect per device. True or false?
True
False
19
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?
True
False
20
ADSR stands for:
Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release,
Amplitude, Damping, Sustain, Resonance
Amplitude, Decay, Sustain, Resonance
Always Decide to Support Reason
21
LFO stands for...
Low Frequency Oscillator
Loop Feedback Oscillator
Loud Filter Output
Long Frequency Output
22
In Reason's Malström, when we don't select any of the boxes from routing the signal, where does the sound go?
Nowhere-it does not output
Immediately to the output
Immediately to the Filter
Immediately to the Shaper
23
The Modulation Matrix in Thor will let you modulation nearly anything with ______ .
the modulation envelope
the amplitude envelope
velocity
nearly anything
24
In Subtractor, the velocity can only control the volume. True or false?
False
True
25
To get to the back of a Reason device, in order to see the routing and cabling, we use the ______ keyboard shortcut.
Enter
Shift-Enter
Shift-Tab
Tab
