Using Radical Piano

Loading and saving patches

Loading and saving patches is done in the same way as with any other internal Reason/Reason Essentials device - 
see the “Sounds and Patches” chapter in the Reason/Reason Essentials Operation Manual pdf for details.

Selecting piano sound sets

A patch in Radical Piano can consist of a mix between two piano sound sets. The mix could be between two sound 
sets from the same piano, or from different pianos. You could, for example, blend a Close mic’ed upright piano with 
the Floor microphones from a grand piano to create your own custom piano sound. The piano sound sets can be 
selected in the Piano Select section:

The Piano Select section.

1. Select desired piano sound set(s) by clicking the corresponding LED button(s).

You can select one sound set to the left of the Blend knob and one to the right.

2. Set the mix between the sound sets with the Blend Microphones knob.

If you only want to use a single sound set for your sound, set the Microphone Blend knob to min or max.

Character

D

Set the character of the sound with the Character knob.

Range: Subdued to Agitated, in 24 steps, with natural sound at the 12 o’clock position. 
Subdued produces a warm and mellow tone whereas Agitated generates a brighter and significantly more 
pronounced tone.

Changing the Character value temporarily mutes the audio outputs.
