Our good friend Bernie Kenerson has posted a very nice video demonstrating the Rotator ReFills.

In the video he shows how he has mapped his top 'clear' key on the EWI4000s to the 'Solo Lead' button on the Rotator. See here for a tutorial on how to do this in Reason. I'd like to point out that Bernie has a bunch of EWI Reason ReFills that work great with Rotator. Just swap out the Thor sounds in a Rotator combinator with one (or many!) of his awesome EWI Thor sounds.

I hope this gives you some insight on how he uses Rotator and how you might use it in your musical creations. When you get a chance, head on over to Bernie's web site. He has all sorts of videos about the EWI, Reason ReFills, sounds for Kontakt, and is a generally great guy and a credit to the EWI community.

Great job, Bernie, and keep them coming!

I recently got my hands on EditEd4Tv's "Reasonable Help 2010" ReFill and thought I would post a ReView of it, since I am so impressed.

Ed Bauman is a fixture on the Reason Forums. He is one of the most knowledgable and certainly most helpful guys out there. Many times, I have seen a post start or end with 'Maybe Ed has some ideas on this...' hoping to get a response from the master!

This ReFill is rather eclectic but jam packed with a lot of great stuff. It is a compilation of seriously advanced Reason techniques, packaged up with some great documentation. In fact Ed himself describes his ReFill as "A helpful collection of creative combinators for Reason and Record." It's also important to note that the ReFill is not presented as a collection of patches, but as a collection of Reason song files. This lets the author present little song examples to demonstrate the functionality of each one.
