Ease into the weekend with another few examples of creative uses for Reason’s new rack devices. Last week’s videos apparently piqued many Reason users’ interest, so here’s some more: lead guitar through Quartet’s grain ensemble effect, channel dynamics to control synth filters and Sweeper’s envelope triggered with incoming audio levels. And more.   When you need to add some space and movement to a sound, the Grain mode in Quartet can really spice things up!
