Metal guitar patch for Reason 4

Here is a metal guitar patch that I created for Reason 4. It has gone through a couple revisions, but each revision carries their unique sound. Versions 1.0 - 2.5 are somewhere on my external (which I need to find a working USB cable), so they won't be up today. (Sorry!)

The knobs and buttons:

The 2 knobs [drive] and [presence] tinker around with the tone of the sound generated.
The knob [loudness impact] plays with the compression/EQ to give a heavyness or lack of, in the sound.
The knob [reverb] controls the amount of reverb.
The buttons [kill with power], [lo-fi], and [bass mode] add/remove effects on the sound generated.
The button [power drive] makes the note into a power chord.

New work in progress

Someone on newgrounds.com has asked for me to create a custom work for their flash game. In the midst, I've made a sweet new guitar synth patch that I may put up after work. Here's what's done so far.



Supposedly the game is going to be similar to Super Smash Bros., and I will be seeing a demo soon! The artist's newground page can be seen here.

On other news, I'm currently a little addicted to World of Warcraft's new expansion pack :( But come play with me, and I'll tank on my paladin! Haha!

PS: My works are secretly influenced by the new WoW expansion theme, Wrath of the Lich King.

First works, demo

Here is a sample of what I've been working on in Reason 4 so far, let me know what everyone thinks :)

I know theres some mixing, EQ, and compression I need to fix, but it will hopefully be fixed in the next revision.



Drop.io looks like a sick way of letting me embed audio for blog format. The only thing that bugs me about it now is that it auto-loads itself, using up unnecessary bandwidth if a reader decides not to play it.

First Post!

As my first post, I really want to share my first track in the work. As of yet, I need to find a suitable location to store these files. In the near future, I also want to share my synthesized heavy electric guitar patches I use in Reason 4. Right now, just dealing with bass drum compression/EQ headaches for the track, but I might as well skip them for now :p

For those who need to hear something in the meantime, my old works are available in a lighter genres http://pirate.deftvibe.com/

I want to assure you all, that "And My Runeaxe" will be more heavier and darker in sound than my older "Legendary Pirate" works.

Stay posted for the first track's updates and synth patches!
