Two oscillators and two LFOs are available in Subtractor. True or false?
True
False
4
Basically, Maelström's Mod A and Mod B sections are:
Envelopes

Modulation effects (Chorus, Flanger or Phaser)
Filters
5
The Modulation Matrix in Thor will let you modulation nearly anything with ______ .
the amplitude envelope
the modulation envelope
velocity
nearly anything
6
Timbre is:
the basic frequency of a sound
the distance between the lowest and highest notes
the frequency of a sound and its resulting overtones
the color of a sound
7
If you want to hear both oscillators in Subtractor, you should leave the Mix knob all the way on the right. True or false?
True
False
8
The Sustain parameter sets the:
sustain time
sustain level
9
What are the 4 basic sections of a subtractive synthesizer?
Oscillator, LFO, Preset, Effect
Wavetable, Preset, Filter, Effect
Wavetable, Envelope, LFO, Filter
Oscillator, Filter, Envelope, Amp
10
In order to see the devices inside of Reason's Combinator, we need to press the button labeled:
Show Routing
Show Interface
Show Devices
Show Settings
11
For a typical Lead sound, we want the attack on the amplitude envelope to be slow. True or false?
False
True
12
In Reason's Malström, when we turn the Motion knob to the left, we are:
slowing down the audio file
lowering the pitch of the audio file
slowing the rate of the modulation
slowing down the rate the at which the synth will advance through the grains
13
Which of the following is a parameter for fine-tuning the pitch?
Cent
Semi
Waveform
Oct
14
In FM Synthesis, we need two signals. A Carrier signal, and a _______ signal.
Multiplier
Modulator
Manipulator
Modifier
15
Velocity refers to how hard we play the note on a keyboard. In Subtractor, this can be applied to:
Mix Amount
FM Amount
All answers are correct
Amplitude (volume)
16
There are ____ semitones in an octave.
12
8
100
24
17
In a combinator, we can only add 1 effect per device. True or false?
False
True
18
What type of synthesis are you using if you start with a very rich sound and carve things aways from it to get the sound you want.
Subtractive
FM
Additive
Granular Synthesis
19
LFO stands for...
Loud Filter Output
Low Frequency Oscillator
Loop Feedback Oscillator
Long Frequency Output
20
To get to the back of a Reason device, in order to see the routing and cabling, we use the ______ keyboard shortcut.
Tab
Shift-Tab
Shift-Enter
Enter
21
In Subtractive Synthesis, what are we "subtracting"?
Envelopes
Frequencies
Oscillators
Filters
22
We start Thor's pattern sequencer by pressing the Run button, with one of three settings: Repeat, 1-Shot, or Step. What does the 1-shot setting do?
Waits for the next Run button to be pressed
Plays the pattern one time through, then stops
Plays the next step in the pattern sequencer, then stops
Plays the next beat of the pattern, then stops
23
The _____ controls the volume of the sound over time.
Amplitude Envelope
Modulation Envelope
Filter Envelope
24
A very slow attack and release on the Amp Envelope is good to create:
pad sounds
lead sounds
organ sounds
bass sounds
25
In Subtractor, the velocity can only control the volume. True or false?
True
False
