Lapjockey Announces Flatpack Reason Refill
 February 10, 2003
Lapjockey announced the
release of Flatpack, a new ReFill sound source for Reason. Flatpack
combines a mix of rare analogue synths and drum machines, with more modern and
experimental synth kits. Inspired by Reason, Flatpack is a series of samples, loops,
patches and song templates to expand the self-contained synth studio within Propellerhead's
popular software.
Besides eliminating the tedious job of sorting and converting audio, Flatpack extends beyond the
conventional sample CD by providing a broad range of material for Reason. 24-bit reproductions of classic synths and drum machines appear instantly as multisampled
NN19, NN-XT and ReDrum patches.
Load up the "FP 808": the samples are recorded long and bright, allowing ReDrum's length and
tone controls to mirror the decay and snappy knobs from the original box. The "squidginess"
plus dynamic control of machines like the "FP 303" are there.
The Flatpack library incorporates electronically generated music and rhythm based loops and
textures to stimulate and rev up music making in Reason. Flatpack's song templates provide
examples of cross modulation patching and synthesized rhythm sequencing. Also
included are original and dramatic synth patches for Reason's Subtractor and Malstrom, using
retro FM and subtractive techniques alongside modern granular programming.
The Flatpack sample CD is priced at 50.00 UK Sterling (approximately 80.00 EURO/ 80.00 INT'L
US) from www.lapjockey.com/flatpack or local music retailers.
