2; can I use pulsar to sidechain stuff
3how do I connect audio mergers and splitters cheers the manual aint helping me

Why isn't the manual helping you ?

[antic604]

1) Pulsar already has 4 CV outs per LFO: 2 normal, 2 inverted. Isn't that enough?
2) If you still need to use to use Spider CV Merger/Splitter, then you should drag a cable from one of the CV outs in Pulsar to either Split A or Split B in Spider and then you have 4 output sockets, 3 outputting the exact same signal and 4th with an inverted signal - you just connect them to devices you want to control:

The manual is so generic it's nearly useless. Most of the time I find answers by asking on the forum or going to youtube but searching that archaic help page is a exercise in futility imo.

The problem is that the OP and others grow outside of the generic aspect of a manual and there is nowhere to go but ask here (or reasontalk)

You "what?!" x2

For one, I don't think we're talking about the same 1700+ pages manual, with very detailed descriptions, screenshots, explanatory graphs AND practical application examples. Any chance by "archaic help page" you're referring to FAQ?

Second, how is using CV Spider to multiply LFO signals "growing outside of the generic aspect". That's precisely what it's for?! No matter how you look at it, it's one of the easiest Reason devices.

Hun? I said specifically that the manual was generic, it's pretty easy to understand this. Despite your need to be dramatic, the reason manual (for lack of a better term) is generic in principal. Please, enlighten me on what I said was wrong?

Um, putting in a term results in a long list of useless nonsense. Putting in a term results in a LONG list of non-specific references, Um, what is it that is supposed to inspire a future Representative?

Answer: Nothing. But please, keep on keeping on about how great the manual is. If you think it's that great, why reply? Why not say RTFM and be done with it? ???

Honestly, it's obvious that the "manual" has it's shortcomings, why hide behind that?

What are you talking about???

Just go here, type "Spider" in the search box, click the 1st link and read it. What more info do you need, especially with the examples of practical use they're giving?

Have you even read my replies to this topic? I gave very precise advice to the OP, and never mentioned manual until you started complaining about how generic & useless it is.

[reggie1979]

Hun? I'm not sure what you are on about. Maybe you misunderstood something? If not, STFU.

I misunderstood something here?

And stop it with the "Hun". I'm not your loved one.

2; can I use pulsar to sidechain stuff

I've not addressed this. You can use Pulsar like that (it can trigger by MIDI and can be synced to beat), but because you can't precisely define the evelope I'd advice against it. There's lots of REs for that:

Reasons manual is among the best I've ever seen for ANY software.
The problem clearly lies on your end.

I agree completely!

Although it is getting quite big. I would prefer if they maybe split it up a bit. Perhaps one for the DAW and one for the Instruments and Effects.

It can just look a bit daunting when you see 1300 pages

Why don't you climb off? If I don't like it, I don't need you acting like a scorned teen degrading me like I just committed a crime I don't think there is anything in the rules that says I have to have the same opinion as you.
