Reason - Creating sequences ?

[Vexir]

I really don't understand how to use the sequencer in Reason, I have not yet been able to make a song or anythinh because I don't know how to make sequences and stuff on the sequencer! Can anyone tell me how? (Ya3, PRStudio ?)

[samoscratch]

why don't you try some tutorials on the reason site

[Vexir]

None of them explain basic things, if any that do tell you how to sequence music, please, show me :)

[prstudio]

hey vexir, tomorrow if i have time ill whip up a quick tut on how to map a basic sequence

[Vexir]

:love:

[samoscratch]

actually looking through the programs included pdfs (the getting started guide and operation manual ) I found some decent descriptions and walkthroughs regarding the sequencer..hope that helps a little at least :pleased:

[prstudio]

[Vexir]

you pretty much follow the same idea for each device you use, some use keyboard style editors and such - the editor is pretty complex.

Omg thank you so much :-D I didn't know that Copy pattern to track thing existed! Thats the clincher :thumb:

[Vexir]

okay so, question, i click play on the transport and both my seqencer track and the redrum start playng, creating a stacked effect.. how do i only get one of them to play?

[prstudio]

on the redrum you'll notice a little square that says - "enable pattern selection"

once you copied it to the sequencer click that off -

orange glow means its enabled
white square means its disabled

Coo :) thanks

[prstudio]

got anything else let me know -

[Vexir]

Will do :)

Hey PR that above mentioned tip for the ReDrum doesn't work for the Matrix Pattern Sequencer..

[prstudio]

the matrix pattern sequencer is an "effect" much like the rv7000 reverb machine - it affects the other instrument machines - you edit the pattern in the actual machine and it then affects the machine you applied it to -

say for example, make a subtractor, get a patch/sample for it, copy it into the sequencer, set up your music for it on the piano timeline, then click the subtractor in the rack, then create a matrix pattern sequencer, click play, then toy around with the matrix pattern settings -

w00t thanks :)
