Chimera R is a set of patches for the Redrum drum sampler within Propellerhead Reason. The theme of the sound set is hybridism. Its origins are in five previously released 9 Soundware titles. The drum kits are based on samples from the Heartbeat and Concussion EXS24 sound sets, as well as patches from the Fire Juggler, Vortex, and Ax releases for the Thor, Malström, and Subtractor synthesizers, respectively.

The 50 Redrum patches in the sound set are divided into four categories.

Human Heartbeats (based on samples from Heartbeat)

Human/synthesis hybrid. The idea behind this category is the transformation of recordings of the human heart and other internal organs with signal processing. These Redrum kits are based on 100 samples. They are based on audio which was captured using an electronic stethoscope, which is more sensitive and capable of capturing quieter sounds compared to acoustic stethoscopes. This category consists of 10 Redrum kits. 199 samples from the multisample instruments of Heartbeat that have not been mapped in these patches are also included.

Found Objects (based on samples from Concussion)

Found object collisions. This category is based on acoustic impact sounds created entirely with found objects. These Redrum kits were constructed from samples of objects being struck, thrown, dropped, and manipulated in a variety of other ways. Among the items used in the recordings are sheet metal, furniture, auto parts, a flyswatter, chains, mousetraps, pipes, and a cardboard box. Examples include the sounds of a large piece of sheet metal being struck with a metal rod, furniture being slammed against the studio wall, a small chain being dropped onto a paint roller tray, and air produced from flinging a stick. This category consists of 10 Redrum kits. 94 samples from the Concussion multisample instrument that have not been mapped in these patches are also included.

Synthetic (based on resampled patches from Fire Juggler, Vortex, and Ax)

The Synthetic category consists of Redrum kits that feature resampled drum patches from the Fire Juggler, Vortex, and Ax sound sets (for Thor, Malström, and Subtractor, respectively). The sub categories of drum kit components emulated by the patches include Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Hi-Hat (Closed, Open, and Pedal), Tom, Crash Cymbal, Ride Cymbal, Side Stick, and Hand Clap. With the exception of the Tom patches, which were recorded at four separate pitches, one note was resampled for each patch. This category consists of 20 Redrum kits. All100 synthesizer patches (40 .thor, 30 .xwv, and 30 .zyp files) are also included.

The Chimera Redrum kits combine samples from the Human Heartbeats, Found Objects, and Synthetic categories. These patches also feature sample playback manipulation. This category consists of 10 Redrum kits.

The 50 Redrum kits of Chimera R are based on 309 samples. Included are 293 samples from the Heartbeat and Concussion sound sets that have not been mapped in these patches.

The 87 MB download includes 50 .drp files, 602 WAV files (24-bit/44.1kHz), 40 .thor files, 30 .xwv files, and 30 .zyp files.

Chimera R is available now for $49.99 at www.9soundware.com.

-In fact, i noticed that Reason was missing some big pads sounds. I had some on my QS8 but i wanted to have them directly in Reason so i started the sampling of these sounds.- Eric/Reason Fan.

And what a great job he has done. Man are these samples clear. Each and every one of them is clearly sampled and the patches made out of these samples are programmed just perfect.

Copy the refill to your Reason folder and you will have the best sounds from the Alesis Quadrasynth.

There are really a lot of samples in the refill. 546 Mb of compressed samples. That’s more then 1 Gb before a refill was made out of ‘m. Looping points are done very good. You won’t hear any

NN-19:

• Bass 83 patches
• Classics 106 patches
• Keyboards 48 patches
• Synths 145 patches
• Pads 105 patches
• World 36 patches
• Others 67 patches
• Drums 30 patches
• Effects 60 patches

The NN-19 Patches:

As i said these patches are really beautiful. Clean as can be and looped perfectly. The bass patches are very good. The 2basses1 is definately my favourite here. Superclean and very good dynamics.

The classics folder contains patches from great sounds from the past. Think of a B3 and other great instruments. In the keyboard folder you can find sounds like wurlitzer patches, a nice grand piano and a cool kalimba. But also some other nice sounds.

The synths folder contains some wicked material wich can be made with the Quadrasynth. Some very clean and high quality sounds if you ask me. In the world folder you will find cool sounds wich are perfect for creating live ambiances. I really love the brake drums. Wich sound very cool and realistically recreated in the quadrasynth. Sounds like panflute’s, celtic harp’s and more cool world sounds are also present in the folder. Eric is definately a man who knows what he’s doing. This cd is very professional. The quality is just perfect. There’s only great stuff on this cd.

680 NN-19 patches in total making this the biggest Reason refill available. And for 40$ it’s really, really a must have. Just open a pay pall acount and pay 40 $.

The Redrum Kits:

Some really clear drums in that synth. Wow those kicks come from beneath You get 18 kits wich are definately usable. very realistic hihats and percussion. You will absolutely find the drums you’ll need.

I said this before and i will say it again. This is a supercool refill. And for this price you definately get the jackpot. Superclear and usable sounds wich are ready to make your tunes even nicer.
