Synchronous

Reason Studios

Where to get itIncluded with Reasonreasonstudios.com

Synchronous is a flexible multi-effect loop device from Reason Studios featuring built-in Distortion, Filter, Delay, and Reverb effects that can be modulated simultaneously by up to three freely designable modulation curves. By drawing custom modulation curves in the display and assigning them to effect parameters, you get precise, tempo-synced parameter automation perfect for insert processing or creative loop mangling on loops and drums.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Three independent modulation curves with custom drawing tools
02Four effect sections: two distortion types plus ring mod and lo-fi, four filter types (HP/BP/LP/comb), three delay modes (regular/ping-pong/roll), and stereo reverb
03Speed x control (0.5/1/2) for individual curve playback rates
04Multiple curve drawing tools: stepped line, linear line, and waveform generators with rate buttons
05Phase control (0-360 degrees) for curve shifting
06Master Offset knob for playback start position across all curves
07Individual loop length control for each curve with triangular locators
08Freeze and Kill buttons to suspend or mute curves independently

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Positive Sawtooth Tool with 1/8 Rate to create ascending filter sweeps, then assign the curve to Freq Modulation with positive amount for sweeping texture changes
  • 02Enable Roll mode in Delay and turn the Feedback knob up quickly from zero at your desired point, then quickly back to zero for instant stutter/repeat effects—experiment with different Time values for varied stutter timing
  • 03Set Reverb Send/Return switch to Return and modulate the Amount parameter from a curve to create gated or reversed reverb effects
  • 04Set different loop lengths for each of the three modulation curves to generate animated variations that evolve over extended periods
