Hi,
I just got volume 19 in the mail and have noticed a set of items called release elements.
I'm pretty new to reason actually, but could someone give me a hint as to how i might use these (technically in reason, and sonically - not sure where they'd fit)? Is there an example song i could be pointed to that might use these?
thanks
steve

You have "Vocal Textures" refill. The release elements are certain consonants for ending your own choir words. It's a bit advanced and we threw it in just for those that want to get deeper into programming with the NNXT. You have to learn how to layer inside the NNXT. It's actually very easy to do. Mainly a copy and paste operation between one NNXT instance and another and then save back what you make.
There's also a way to have those release elements trigger upon release or just manually triggered like normal. In fact, you can use them ala carte in a track. Let's say you wanted to make a the word "love". You would take a track and play a quick "La" from the vocal attack element folder and then take your pick of any sustaining "Aaaah" pad and then from the release elements you could grab the "Vvvv" and just sequence them on different tracks until it sounds just right. You may want to adjust the envelopes on the attack and release to essentially be playing with the "crossfades".
However, if this is too complex then just ignore them. They don't take up much space. The rest of the library is really great on its own. Like I said, I threw these in for those that get into advanced programming and sequencing. Explore and experiment!
