FLUTES
The Solo flute and piccolo instruments use vibrato samples. Increasing Aftertouch, in this case, will
produce a “flutter” effect on these instruments.
The Plr and Section patches, on the other hand, use non-vibrato samples, as would a real flute section.
A special Flute Solo Switch Combinator is provided to allow switching between vibrato, non-vibrato,
and piccolo samples.
HARPSICHORD
The harpsichord responds to the Mod Wheel by mellowing its sound (removing treble) as it is moved
upwards. Aftertouch has no effect on the harpsichord.
A separate NN-XT patch is provided for a phase-free double harpsichord.
PIPE ORGAN
The Aftertouch control on the pipe organ fades in an octaved treble stop for extra brightness in the
sound.
Note that the pipe organ does not respond to Key Velocity in any way.
STEINWAY PIANO
The Steinway Piano responds to the Mod Wheel by mellowing its sound (removing treble) as it is moved
upwards. Aftertouch has no effect on the piano.
SOLO STRINGS
Solo String instruments each include Sustain, Tremolo, and Pizzicato articulations. Their provided
Combinators allow easy switching between these articulations within a single sequencer track.
Increasing Aftertouch on Solo Strings will introduce a small bit of variable pitch and timbre into the
instrument sound, such as to sound richer in a section context.
SECTION STRINGS
Section String patches each include Sustain, Short, Arco, Tremolo, and Pizzicato articulations. Their
provided Combinators allow easy switching between these articulations within a single sequencer track.
“Full Strings” NN-XT patches and a Combinator are provided that pull samples from all of the string
sections in order to give you a continuous range of notes across the keyboard.

OPTIMIZATION
Reason is a highly optimized and efficient music creation system, but there may be times when it can
tax the CPU and memory limits of your computer. This is especially true of simulating large orchestral
groups that can have between 50 and 100 musicians!
In the “Preferences…|Audio” menu, you can raise the “Buffer Size” control to compensate for crackling
and slowdown in the engine. As your sequence is playing, increase the Buffer Size until playback is
smooth once again. As you do this, you’ll see the related “Output Latency” reading (measured in
milliseconds) also increase. This is the time it takes between pressing a key on the keyboard and hearing
the result in Reason.
If latency is too high, then playing in real-time might become difficult or otherwise feel unnatural, but
this can be a quick and easy solution if you are doing most of your work in the piano roll or controller
lanes.
NOTE: If you are operating Reason through ReWire, your other sequencer/host will have the
control over latency settings.
Furthermore, you could also delete the “Tone” EQ entirely if you don’t plan to use it at all.

Reduce Polyphony
To save some more processing power, you can reduce the polyphony of “RNG” patches or other
instruments with long-decay tails. This will be generally less noticeable if the instrument is playing in a
large group that “buries” the tail of the instrument, but might stick out in a solo or sparse context.
Just select all the zones and adjust the “Key Poly” box in the Group edit controls.
CUSTOMIZATION
Feel free to dig into GPO-Reason’s programming to tailor it to your own needs! Here are some ideas for
where to start, but the total possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
(MIDI Continuous Controller #11) or Breath (CC #2). This comes in handy if you have a keyboard
without Aftertouch, but allows you to reassign various knobs or sliders.
Global Controls
Each NN-XT module has a series of knobs at the top in the “Global Controls” section. You can
tweak these knobs by hand or even automate them to sculpt your sound. (In fact, this is what many
Combinator knobs utilize internally.)
Polyphony
“Solo” instruments have their Polyphony set to 2, in order to allow some overlap between contiguous
notes. However, you might want to use a chromatically sampled “Solo” patch to play chords with more
samples for variety. To increase the Polyphony to allow this, select all the zones and adjust the “Key Poly”
box in the Group edit controls.
Pitch Range
The range of each programmed instrument is limited to the range of a typical human player. However,
sometimes you might want to go a little bit higher or lower than usual, either to simulate a particularly
gifted musician or for special effect. To do this, open the NN-XT editor, select the sample zone at the
end of the range, and drag the endpoint to the extent that you desire.
Pitch Bend
The pitch bend wheel defaults to 2 semitones for most instruments. You can easily change this by
selecting all zones in an instrument and adjusting the “Pitch Bend Range” box in the editor. Changing
the range to 1 would allow more sensitivity for playing techniques like “scoops”, while increasing to
around 6 would allow glissando effects for trombones and strings.
Reverb Combinators
The internal structure of a Reverb Combinator is based around two RV7000 reverb modules. The
advantage of using them in a Combinator is that they’re processed in parallel (without using two Aux
slots) and you can save your tweaks as a new preset.
Reverb Combinators allow for a great degree of experimentation. You’ll definitely want to try replacing
the settings on the internal RV7000 modules with presets, at first. Audition combinations of short and
long reverb profiles, as well as increasing the Predelay amount (via the Remote Programmer mode,
Reverb page) for just one of the units. In this manner, you can model more “interesting” spaces than
simple rectangular rooms and halls, such as venues with balconies, mezzanines, or side chambers.
Particularly expert users can continue experimenting with all parameters available, adding external
effects, or even attempt routings that use the RV7000’s gate functionality.
