PEQ2 Two Band Parametric EQ
While the mixer device has basic two-band EQ on each channel, sometimes you
may need some more precise control over the tone color. For this purpose, you
can use the PEQ2. This device contains two independent parametric equalizers,
with controls for frequency, gain and Q value.
Spider Audio Merger & Splitter
This is not an effect device, but a utility. With the Spider Audio you can merge
up to four audio input signals into one output, as well as split one audio input
signal into four outputs. This makes audio signal routing much more flexible and
allows for very creative patching and connections.
Spider CV Merger & Splitter
Again, this is not an effect device, but a utility. With the Spider CV you can
merge up to four CV input signals into one CV output, as well as split CV or
Gate inputs into several outputs (one of which can be inverted). One use for the
Spider CV is to split Gate and Note CV to control several instrument devices
with one Matrix.
The Matrix Pattern Sequencer
The Matrix is a stand-alone pattern sequencer, somewhat similar to a vintage an-
alog sequencer. A Matrix pattern can have between 1 and 32 steps, and for
each step you can specify which control voltage levels should be sent out from
the three separate CV outputs on the back of the device. If you like, you could
view this as having three separate pattern sequencers in one.
By connecting the Matrix to e.g. a synth device, you can have the pattern se-
quencer play the device (for a repeating synth pattern), or control various param-
eters, for rhythmic effects that you cannot obtain using the synth device alone.
ReBirth Input Machine
This device allows you to use Reason in conjunction with Propellerheads’ clas-
sic ReBirth application. The audio from ReBirth will be “streamed” via the Re-
Wire protocol into Reason. By routing the different outputs on the ReBirth Input
Machine to different mixer channels, you can mix the sound of ReBirth with the
sound of Reason, add effects to separate ReBirth sounds, etc.
