Used either as a standalone device or as part of a modular/multiband setup, Splitter is an
exceptional creative tool for sound designers and musicians alike.
Typical applications include: Multiband pre-FX splitting; multiband post-FX merging;
multiband stereo effects (without or without splitting/merging); single band M/S and panning.
We hope you have as much fun using it as we did creating it. Enjoy!
About Elements
Elements is a series of mini devices derived from our Triad Multiband series. They have been
carefully crafted to isolate and enhance specific “elements” of Triad, and integrate together
modularly, through stereo CV modulation and slick, unified design.
Currently available Elements: Chorus, Distort, DS-LFO, Filter, Lo-Fi, Phaser, S-Delay, Splitter

Loading and saving patches
Loading and saving patches in Splitter is done in the same way as with any other Reason
device. See “Loading patches” and “Saving patches” in the Reason Operation Manual for
further information.
Controls and displays
X-OVERS!
X-Over — Sets the crossover frequency between the Low and Mid or Mid and High audio
bands. The frequency value is displayed on the readout above the knob.
24dB — Toggles the crossover slope between 12dB and 24dB modes. 12dB mode
produces a gentler split, whereas as 24dB is significantly steeper. !

BANDS
On — Toggles the band on or off. This only applies to the Low and High bands, as the Mid
band is always active. If either the High or Low bands are turned off, then Splitter functions as
a dual-band effect. If they are both switched off, it acts as a single-band effect.
M (Mute) — Renders the band in question entirely silent.
S (Solo) — Renders both other bands silent, unless they also have their Solo button turned
on. This allows you to quickly audition the output of soloed bands.
M/S (Mid/Side) — Controls the mix between the mono (mid) and stereo (side) components
of the incoming audio signal. When turned fully counterclockwise, to the left, only the mono
signal is heard. When turned fully clockwise, to the right, only the stereo signal is heard.
When turned to the centre position, the signal remains unaffected.
Pan — Pans the band’s output left or right.
Vol — Controls the volume level of the band’s output, allowing you to either attenuate it or
boost it by up to 6 decibels.
REAR PANEL!
Modulation In — CV modulation in Splitter works the same way as for any stock Reason
device. The parameters that can be modulated via CV are:

Elements: Splitter
The Lo/Mid and Mid/High X-Overs, and the Mid/Side, Pan and Volume parameters for each
of the three bands.
Audio I/O — The routing in Splitter works in one of two different ways:
‣
Pre-split mode (active if only the Main L/R audio inputs are connected):
A conventional band splitter ( X-Over -> Effects ), where the incoming audio is split
across up to 3 different outputs. This works by having the audio enter the signal chain
via the Main In L/R audio inputs, which then gets split up according to which bands are
active and their corresponding frequency X-Over controls. The separate output of each
band then gets sent to its respective Out L/R stereo outputs.
Note: In addition to this, the output of each band gets summed and sent to the Main Out
L/R stereo outputs, allowing you to use Splitter as a self-contained multiband stereo
imager, panner and volume control. Which is quite Lovely.
‣
Post-split mode (active once any one of the Low, Mid or High L/R stereo inputs gets
connected to a virtual cable):
The second way allows Splitter to work in a similar fashion to the ( Effects -> X-Over )
mode in our Mutagen and Relapse plugins, whereby audio from up to 3 different sources
can be brought in and filtered according to the values specified by the X-Over controls.
As stated above, it works by receiving audio input from up to 3 different sources via the
Low, Mid and High audio inputs. These incoming audio signals then undergo mid/side
stereo imaging, panning and volume control via their respective band’s controls, and are
finally summed together and sent to the Main L/R audio outputs.
Note: In this mode, the Low, Mid and High Outputs are entirely deactivated, and will
output nothing but silence.
