How to connect audio
To connect Executioner you can use Reason’s own auto-connection system, and Executioner will decide the best
way to auto-wire. Alternatively, you may want to use Executioner as a true DJ mixer for live performance mixing –
ideally for this case you may require a multi-channel soundcard (at least 4 outputs is best suited), but there are
workarounds possible if you only have 2 channel basic soundcard.
1) Create a Mix Channel Strip.
2) Shift-create an Executioner DJ mixer – this allows you to freely wire up Executioner.
3) Flip the rack to the back by pressing the TAB key, to show the back of the units. Take the MASTER OUTPUT
sockets and connect them to the Mix Channel
4) Create two sound modules or audio tracks, as points of source audio. Take the outputs of the sound source
(main outs of the rack sound modules, or DIRECT OUT of Mix Channels / Audio Channels) and connect them to your
chosen input audio sockets pair on Executioner (ie Dr.Octorex into Input 1 left & right, ReDrum into Input 2 left and
right).
This is a basic setup, ideal for loop manipulation and sound design. You can expand further on this by adding extra
input sources as well as effects chains using the send and return channels and the various routings (see Using
Effects with Executioner section)
