One of the things I loved about these patches is that the Combinator controls are clearly labeled and mapped out in fun and meaningful ways. “I might even use two Audiomatics-one on a VHS setting and the other on Vinyl if it helps me get the sound I want!” It’s just about getting the right feeling. That might mean creating subtle movement with LFOs or using Reason’s Audiomatic device on the tape setting to add midrange saturation and hiss.” He stresses that he’s not concerned about technical accuracy or perfect replication of any vintage synth. When I’m designing presets, I try to capture or recreate those imperfections as much as possible. “I love old analog synths with all their imperfections. One listen to the patches and you’ll understand what he means, but I asked him to elaborate further.

They want character and imperfections in the sounds and that’s what I’ve tried to do with this pack.” Now people want to hear less ‘digital’ sounding music. It was fun, but I think the world has moved on from that. “I spent years making house and dubstep with really digital, pristine sounds. I had a chance to catch up with Murray on Skype to ask how he created these amazing sounds. The patches he produced immediately gave us the warm and fuzzies. To create this sound pack, Reason Studios teamed up with Ireland based producer and musician Seán Murray. Just play some jazzy chords, add your favorite hiphop or electronic drums and you’ll have your very own mixtape in no time! It has dreamy pianos, warm, lush pads and analog-style bass sounds that are perfect for creating cozy and soulful instrumentals. If you enjoy laid-back music from artists like Tom Misch, Keifer or Bad Snacks, you’re going to love this pack. The Neo Soul sound pack is a celebration of modern beat tape culture.
