Using CV Gate
How to Use Spider CV Merger & Splitter by Joel Falconer
The ability to split and merge different sources of audio using the Spider Audio unit is useful indeed, but it’s the Spider CV unit that really allows users to explore new ideas and ways of manipulating sound. Let’s take a look at using this device to totally change the sound of our instrument devices.
Routing in Reason by Reason Freaks
So this is ideal to control parameters on other devices. You can use this to create rhytmic changes in a synthline. Wich are modulated by another synths parameters. Gate CV is another story. Gate signals are used to trigger things like on/off, velocity, and the starting of LFOs.
Itsy Bitsy Spiders: CV Spiders by Fredrik Hägglund
Right, so… where were we? Oh yes, Spider CV Merger & Splitter, the other eight-legged freak in the Reason terrarium. Now, this is the evil twin of Spider Audio, and this one you have to handle with caution because the webs of cables that can build up around these things can become more or less impenetrable. While it may be tempting to try and be as economical as possible (for example, using both the split and the merge sections on a single unit), we encourage you to spread the burden across as many Spider CV units as possible – they are the most CPU friendly Reason units of all, and it’s going to be a lot easier to track down the right cable if they aren’t all on top of one another. And now, on with the show.
Using Spider Audio & Spider CV Devices by Sound On Sound
Reason’s Spider merger/splitters must be the least processor-heavy devices in the software’s rack, but although recent Reason developments may have overshadowed their potential, used creatively they can help you redefine what’s possible with the other devices.

Unlocking the Secrets of CV & Gate by James Bernard
This time James shows you the basics of the Contol Volt and Gate features in Reason and Record. Many users shy away from CV/Gate for fear of not knowing what they do, but CV/Gate is an immensely powerful feature and quite straightforward to use once you grasp the basic concept.

The second part of this tutorial focuses on more complex wiring techniques, such as triggering synth sounds via the Redrum and the modulation inputs and outputs.
How to Use CV Spiders in Reason by powdermonkeydan
This tutorial focuses more on the advanced use of CV spiders – such as how to split one CV signal to many instruments, and also how to merge CV signals to one. Very nice!
Delaying CV Signals by AcePincter
This tutorial demonstrates the use of an Audio Delay to create an effective CV delay, with some tweaking. Useful for instrument design and combinator construction.
