Page 3: Top Controls
Patch Controls Here are shown the standard Reason patch browser controls. Spectrogram RP-EQ has a spectrogram which displays the input signal as an FFT Spectrogram behind the EQ display. Turning the Spec button ‘Off’ will disable the Spectrogram view. Boost The Boost function amplifies the sound fed into the Spectrogram. - Page 4 Equalizer At the heart of RP-EQ is the 8-band parametric peaking Equalizer (EQ). This part consists of a graphic edit screen and below it also includes dials and functions to make the workflow as comfortable as possible. The EQ can also work in Mid / Side mode (please see below).
- Page 5 EQ Band Solo (visual) Solo's the selected EQ band (i.e .the other bands are turned off visually) EQ Band BW Changes the Bandwidth of the band, from very narrow at low values to very wide at high values. EQ Band BW Solo Changes the band to a band pass filter, and turns off the other bands.
- Page 6 It simply depends on the track as to what is best. RP-EQ divides in 'Mid / Side' mode into two Band groups. Band 1-4 uses the 'Mid' section of the audio and Band 5-8 uses the 'Side' section of the audio.
- Page 7 Saturation Before or after the EQ, the sound goes through a saturation effect. Clicking on the Saturation button will turn On / Off the Saturation effect. Important note: the saturation effect is a very minimal detailed change to the sound. It can be compared to tape saturation.
- Page 8 RP-EQ has an additional EQ band, which boosts the very high frequencies at a wide band, to give the sound more 'air'. It is fantastic on your mix, as mastering tool or to freshen up older recordings. It can also be great to give the 'lead voice' in your music a bit extra, to make it jump out of the music.
- Page 9 We also have two types of colour filters. In combination with using the CV inputs on the back of RP-EQ (or automation) and other Reason devices (LFO’s etc.), this section is of course also very attractive for making special moving filter sounds (Often used by DJ’s).
- Page 10 Mono / Stereo Sometimes you may want to change the sound below a set frequency to a mono signal (i.e the left channel is same as right channel). Especially for contemporary music a great tool for inside the mix bus or while mastering. A special feature in this section is that instead of frequency you also can select a note as the split point for the filter.
- Page 11 Back Screen The back screen of RP-EQ shows the Input / Output audio connections and also CV input to each band's frequency, bandwidth & gain, also the Low-pass / High-pass filter frequency and Q(resonance). Manual version 1.0d, Rob Papen ConcreteFX, All rights reserved.
