Alligator

Reason Studios

Alligator is a three-channel gate effect with a built-in pattern player that chops up audio and processes it with three parallel filters (high pass, band pass, low pass), distortions, a phaser, and delay. It excels at adding rhythmic gating, accents, and dynamic movement to sustaining sounds like strings and pads, while also serving as a powerful remix tool capable of reshaping entire mixes.

Key Features

0164 built-in patterns with three independent tracks per pattern
02Three parallel filter channels (high pass, band pass, low pass)
03Amplitude envelope with Attack, Decay, and Release controls
04Filter envelope with individual controls for each channel
05Global LFO with 9 waveforms and tempo sync
06Distortion (Drive), Phaser, and Delay effects per channel
07MIDI control via F#1, G#1, A#1 notes with velocity sensitivity
08CV modulation inputs for filter frequencies and LFO rate

Things to Try

  • 01Keep Amp Env Attack at low values for quick, snappy attacks; raise it to make notes fade in and blur the patterns
  • 02Raise Amp Env Release to make the pattern become blurred and more pad-like as sound never fades completely between gates
  • 03Mix in dry signal via Dry Volume for subtler processing when you want to animate a pad rather than chop it up
  • 04Set Shift to offset the pattern relative to playback—for example, Shift to -1 with Resolution at 1/16 moves the pattern one sixteenth note early
