Reason Tips & Tricks - Stereo / Mono input switch

In an earlier post I made an External / Internal source input switch to go in the default Reason template. This is an alteration to that patch, which adds a Stereo / Mono input switch, useful when sampling a mono instrument and removes the need to fiddle with the cables in the back of the rack.

You can download the "mrfprod_Default.reason" file here or follow the instructions below.
My default patch uses the A/B Audio & CV Switch and the ReMark Rack Divider, both which can be downloaded for free from Propellerhead Shop.

The instructions below assumes that you've first made the External/Internal switch.

The Sampling Input Source & Stereo/Mono Switcher Patch:

1. Switch to the back and create a new A/B Switch named "Input" and a new Spider Audio unit, named "Stereo / Mono".

2. Move L & R cables from the Source switch outputs to the Input switch outputs.

3. Connect Source switch outputs to the stereo/mono spider split inputs.

4. Connect the first L&R split outputs to Input Switch input A L&R.

5.  Connect the next two splitter L&R outputs to the merge sections first two Left inputs.

6. And finally, connect the Stereo/Mono spider's Left merge output to Left Input B on the Input switch.

The final result!


There you have it! Switch easily between a stereo or mono signal, from an internal or external sound source!
