Introduction
Buffre Beat Repeater
is an audio looping effect that repeats and scrubs audio in sync
with song tempo. Designed exclusively as a Propellerhead Reason Rack Extension,
Buffre is a
performance
effect, controllable in real-time from a MIDI keyboard or control
surface, and supports Reason control voltage routings for creating modular-based
stutter and glitch effects.
Audio signals are continuously captured by the Buffre loop engine, and at the moment
the effect is triggered, sampled audio repeats until the trigger is released. Loop
duration is selected by pressing different keys on the MIDI keyboard, and adjusting the
pitch wheel increases the repetition speed for accelerating ‘drill’ effects. The loop engine
features several playback modes and can process audio segments from two measures
down to a 4096th note.
Buffre features real-time
reverse
loop playback and sample rate control. Instantly add a
backwards drum hit by switching to reverse mode, or adjust the pitch control to mimic
the sound of a
tape stop
or
spin up
. Also, by capturing and manipulating extremely
short audio loops, Buffre can synthesize
granular
audio textures.
This manual is prepared to provide in depth understanding of all of the features and
capabilities of Buffre.
