8. ob apen RACI rw User Guide Powered by RPCX Welcome PunchBD RE is the Reason Rack Extension version of the Bass Drum section of Rob Papen s Punch It has four different drum modules two bass drum synthesizer models a click noise module and a sample player module All Patches of the original Punch library are included and if you are a Punch user you may recognize them In most cases these Punch Patches use a single model only sometimes augmented with the click noise module However with PunchBD RE you have four models at your disposal to build unigue bass drum sounds In addition to the four models there is a distortion module and a synth inspired filter to further shape the sound There are ample modulation options for all PunchBD RE s parameters and they include freely assignable modulation paths external CV inputs and dedicated envelopes and LFOs Also included is the option to play PunchBD RE sounds melodically as you hear Hip Hop and Hardstyle dance productions NOTE Be prepared for the dynamic power of PunchBD RE At all times keep an eye on your volume levels during editing tracking and mixing to avoid damaging audio peaks Rob Papen and the RPOX team December 2013 Patches and Globals At the top of the PunchBD RE rack you find the Patch section and Global controls Patch Controls PunchBD RE uses the standard Reason patch controls The Patch menu displays a list of patches available in the cur
