How To make a RISER with REASON STUDIOS (Tutorial)
16Hello and welcome to this tutorial on how to create a riser using a synthesizer. In this tutorial, we will be going through the step-by-step process of creating a riser using some simple techniques. So, let's get started!
STEP 1: ADD A SYNTHESIZER
The first step in creating a riser is to add a synthesizer to your project. Choose a synthesizer that allows you to manipulate the pitch and filter settings.
STEP 2: USE A SQUARE WAVE
Select a square wave as your oscillator. The square wave will give your riser a sharp and defined sound.
STEP 3: UPDATE THE SEMITONE ON THE BEND PITCH
Update the semitone on the bend pitch to 1 or 2 octaves higher than your root note. This will create a rising effect as you play the notes.
STEP 4: ADD A ROOT NOTE
Add a root note to your project. This will act as the foundation for your riser.
STEP 5: ADD AUTOMATION ON THE PITCH BEND
Add automation to the pitch bend setting. This will allow you to gradually increase the pitch of your riser over time. You can also add variation by adjusting the pitch bend range.
STEP 6: ADD AUTOMATION ON THE FILTER
Add automation to the filter setting. This will allow you to gradually open up the filter over time. This will help to create a crescendo effect, increasing the intensity of the riser.
STEP 7: ADD A SAW WAVE AS A LAYER
Add a saw wave as a layer to your square wave. This will add some texture and depth to your riser.
STEP 8: ADD A NOISE
Lastly, add a noise layer to your riser. This will add some high-frequency content to your sound and help to fill out the spectrum.
CONCLUSION:
And there you have it! By following these simple steps, you should now have a fully functional riser that you can use in your productions. Experiment with different pitch and filter settings to create different variations of your riser. Thank you for watching this tutorial and I hope you found it useful. Happy producing!
