Here we have edited a stepped curve from the Presets. We have also enabled Beat Sync and set the length/rate
to 4/4. This means that each step in the curve now represents an 1/8th note.
• Key Trig means the envelope restarts when you play a note.
• You can choose whether the envelope should send out a bipolar value or unipolar one (0-100%).
• If Global is on, the envelope will be common for all voices.
Another useful application for looped envelopes is to sync the sample playback to the Reason sequencer when using
the Envelope 1 Motion mode (see “Envelope 1”):
1. Select Envelope 1 (since it is hardwired to the sample playback Motion parameter).
2. Select the “Ramp Up” Preset, enable Loop and set the Beat Sync to the desired value:
Playing back Reason’s sequencer now plays back the sample synced to the sequencer Tempo.
