The dumb fact that i can combine a combinator with another combinator . It's freaking 👌. And technically speaking this is just mind blowing. This is the best update so far.
Great video 👍 Always loved the Combinator. But like you I have long since wished we had more controls to work with. So the Combinator 2 has really exceeded expeditions. It’s what I dreamed of but thought my ideas were a bit pie in the sky. But they’ve been surpassed! And by all accounts this is just the beginning and its possibilities will only grow. Very exciting.
Nice vid, i'm digging the Combi II as well. I do wish they would've put some level controls on the Combi mixer. My first move is still to add either the 6:2 or 14:2 mixer. Even a simple single knob on the combi mixer would've been nice.
That was pretty tedious and entertaining. Thx I loved the video and its my go to. Just need the names of the programs you were using. I think snip, I tried gimp on my mac when I had it but i found it hard to use.
No Combi inside a Combi (trying it right now). That may seem like a limit but it could become somewhat infinitely recursive and nasty things happen. You can line up several Combis and Combine them but the result is probably not what you had before so not always the right solution (just as before). Each Combi (esp of the 2-type) can be like a complete solar system so one inside another is probably going to become unwieldy. You can however put many Combis in a row inside the Insert box which is new & improved.
The Combinator is all about making chains of synths and/or effects that you can save and recall. I am sorry but I don't understand your Q: "mw" normally means Mod Wheel and that doesn't make sense. If you meant "me", sure but you a) need Reason (R12 for Combi II) and b) to practice a bit to get to know how it all works. Once you understand how any process (hardware/vst) works you can make just about anything you encounter - to at least some degree in a Combi II :-)
Its a pity you cant map so many controls... I wanted to control the steps and the resolution of a matrix to make some abstract sound. but you can only switch patterns... so this could be a work around
I think it is good but im afraid . it looks like we have lost some capabilities :( . I don't think we can deal with negative numbers like we used to . this is meaning that .. certain work arounds are not working properly!
@@OriginNowSoundWhat kind of negative numbers do you mean? I would be surprised if we lost the ability to do something with the combinator as then it would lose backwards compatibility
@@Pippy_Pappy I remember watching something saying that they changed something with the scale values, they said they made it better it works alittle difrently. Tbh with a lot of tinkering and getting used to it it pretty much dose work to some degree. you just have to balance the values in a difrent way. You are right about the backwards compatibility and I thought the same thing. It surely is upgraded some how but it is definitely different. And takes a different approach to achieve the results. Thanks for chiming in and connecting!
Shame we have to zoom in to be able to get a hold of the handles though lol ..the plus minus seemed to be fine but we shall see. Am I right that we have lost the ability to go into negative numbers. I can not find how to get the negative numbers appear like they used to! . any idea how to over come this or have you noticed this? maybe im missing something. please help!!
I kindos managed to work it out. Its a little difrent you just have to balance the source values , it's jot quite the same but , I think for most things it works but . Have figured out how to do things like make the buttons work inverted yet any tips show me. It has to be sorted compatible with old combinator so hopefully everything still works , just got to get my head round it!
Great. On the surface it seems a bit intimidating but as I'm watching and doing it, it becomes very straightforward and intuitive. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This is absolutely perfect video to help me dig into the commentator! Great presentation style. God bless.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much. Looking forward to more!
Thank you too!

Agreed!
Thanks so much for such a great tutorial. Was just what I was looking for. Really appreciate the effort.
Glad it was helpful!
V helpful, again. Like the detail, pace and great to have meaningful bookmarks.
Super Synth is a great name.

thanks man, its always bugged me that reason dont actually make more deep dives on their devices and its left up to the users to fill the gaps
You welcome :)

can you put a combinator inside a combinator now?

I think it might have been one of your great videos about making faceplates for 3rd party vsts...can you direct me where...cleans up the rack a little
is there a way for mw to make an effect chain using the combinator ?

I’m doing a piano split… but on the left side I want it to be a couple octaves higher… how do I do that
I don't understand why we can't automate the run button's.

How does this compare to Ableton racks?
Good video I am most curious about how this compares to the old Combinator

i swear only for the combinator its worth it to simp for reason again ...
Agree :)
Why none explain at the beginning what the Combinator does generally and whats used for. Didactic 'F '
I lost interest. Just wanted to create a layered sound. Wasted 30 minutes and learned nothing.
Such things happens. Please check description next time
