Reasonstation Tutorials
We are very keen for people to contribute with tutorials. So if you have an idea for a tutorial, let us know.
To give you some ideas, we are really looking to include tutorials that go further then repeating what is already in the manuals. For example, if you are very good at creating good sounds with the subtractor, why not teach others to do the same.
Tutorials do not have to be lo ng and detailed, sometimes the beauty is in something that is simple and quick.
