Description
Meet your new modulation maestro, the Propellerhead Synchronous—an innovative rack extension for Reason that turns your studio into a playground of sound manipulation. Designed with the modern musician in mind, Synchronous offers a rich tapestry of effects that can transform any track into a dynamic masterpiece. Whether you’re aiming to animate pads, add wobble to basses, or glitch-up samples, this tool provides the creative freedom you need.
At the heart of Synchronous are its four effects processors and three independent modulation curves. These allow you to craft complex waveforms and assign them to control distortion, delay, filter, and reverb effects. The interactive display offers intuitive waveform drawing, letting you mix and match different shapes and resolutions within the same wave for endless modulation possibilities. For those seeking instant inspiration, dive into the 100+ patches crafted by the sound design wizards at Nucleus Soundlab.
Synchronous isn't just about built-in effects; its modulation engine can be routed throughout the Reason rack, providing unparalleled flexibility. Want to control distortion on a Scream 4 unit or add motion to a Parsec pad? Simple. The rear-panel connections ensure seamless integration with any other device in your setup.

- Four effects processors: Distortion, Delay, Filter, and Reverb
- Three independent modulation curves for complex waveforms
- Over 100 pre-designed modulation patches

Nice little tool
I use it as a Rack-Extension for Propellerheads Reason. It can create thrilling sounds using intern writable patterns similar to LFOs and by routing these to different kinds of modulation of the 4 fx-sections (Distortion, Filter, Delay, Reverb).
