Dude you are a genius. I'm sitting here thinking, "Why the hell didn't I think of that?" I have always thought that electronic music was always limited by the fact that drum solos couldn't be improvised live. However, this shows me that it is possible. thanks man!

Thanks for the info. I'm a beginner with reason 4.0. It's going to be awhile before i really get to understand what you was explaining. But i save your tutorial in my favorite. So that way i could watch it over and over until i understand

very interesting, after using reason since version 1 i must say, i finally learned something new & creative at the same time. props!

i have wanted to know how to do this for ages... thnx to you, now i know. this tutorial was a great help.... thnx

The "tinker when nothing is going right and you're having an off day" mindset is great, and Reason is definitely a good DAW for that :o I love the physicality of the DAW, you can really get immersed and explore :D

If you know your basics, you can skip to 6:13. It's some good stuff from here on. Thanks for the tut!

Much appreciated. I'm new with Reason, and I've found that manual sequencing of the drums tends to be very cumbersome. Thanks for demonstrating methods to make the drum sequencing a little more "free," and potentially far less of a time sink. I will definitely take a look at your other videos.

Tried it... Brilliant! had been trying to create that glitch effect for a long time.. til now,

Thanks man that was a really great inspirational piece, I'm just starting to use Reason I've had it for a while but was using FL studio instead. I said give Reason a shot and I must say I'm very impressed. Keep the tutorials coming cheers.

Fuckin Brilliant! In a million years I would've never thought about that. You must've been really hungover. thanks for upping this.

Wow... just realised how long ago you posted this! Fairplay...

It's very fun! At high resolution you can get some serious glitch sounds too. Try with a distortion you can twiddle with a knob for best results. Thanks for the comment! -Ace

love it! never would of thought of doing that,,,great stuff can't wait to play when am hungover

IMPORTANT! IN between 3:30 and 3:40 you say you will make it from scratch. Please do this always in tutorials. For keeners, we love to see what is going on behind the scenes. Its not just enough to pull up an effects patch and show the effect. We would rather see exactly what is modulated and how it is modulated. Great effect, loved it, super awesome fun time happy friends

Dude you rock.. I am starting to reach reasons and you are a perfect toopl to show

thanks great work, i figured out how to utilize this with reason 4, much appreciated

Thank you for sharing this brotha. Really good tutorial

THANK YOU. YOU JUST HELPED ME SOLVE THE RIDDLE OF DIVISIONS

Thanks for clearing that up. I love the sound but didn't know how to refer to it properly!

wow, would have never thought of that, thanks.

Dude, this is some sweet stuff you got here. I've been watching all of these. I was wondering if you could do one about automating panning and volume changes and all that. Or perhaps something about making your own pads. Just a thought. Keep up the good work either way!

That's a) cool and b) fun looking - I'll be trying that out tonight, cheers :-)

that was a really cool tutorial, thanks a lot :)

Very informative tutorial on Redrum, thx ;)

Great. Thankyou. Downloading now.

Tutorial starts at 3:30.

I love it that you guys are willing to help others understand and apply these techniques but you gotta remember that you know and we don't. I need to see what your fast mouse clicking is doing. And you omit explaining some of the clicks like we are supposed to already know. I stop by to learn and I think it is sometime taken for granted we see every move of the mouse. You seems to be a rushing through the video. Thanks for your time though. I did get some helpful things out of it.

Cool! I will find this helpful once I get the hang of it...

nice..cant wait to try it

sweeeeet thanks for the tutorials they are really helpful and fun to use

Cool Tutorial Dude

MPC style note repeat in Reason, you found it! Thank you! :D

omg i love you!! thank youuu!

Thanks! this really helps

great stuff, thanks!!

The individual drums in redrum also have a "load sample" button. look for it on each drum and use that one.

Is a lot of fun, this method

its not exactly a new way , but if i stuck on something i ll give it a try, but great tip and great tutorials

Lip smack'n good video! : ) But seriously thank you, you have helped me with a lot over the years.

quality tips man

It's possible, but not by default. This is how to do it. 1. Create subtractor. Sync LFO 1 and bind the LFO Rate to something (combi knob or remote override) 2. Switch to the back, create 4 SPIDER CV Splitters. 3. Wire like this, using the Splitter inputs: [Subtractor LFO 1] > Spider CV 1 > Spider CV 2 > Spider CV 3 > Spider CV 4 4. You now have the Spider splitting the LFO signal into 13 available outputs. Wire them individually to Drum 1, 2, 3, gate inputs.

oh shit thanks man i really needed that post more tricks

exactly. It will play as fast as you have the resolution set for.

@AcePincter - I love this sound, definately going to try this out. Does this mean that all the samples on Redrum will play through the one channel on the mixer? Thanks.

Make sure your redrum is set to "Run" when you playback, as well.

Cool! Maybe others will find this useful as well! Keeping it sync'd will give you good rhythms, unsync'ing it will be good for glitchy or grainy sounds. For non-percussive sounds, try using a RV7000 in Echo algorithm, with the echo time set to about 25ms, Dry/wet 50%. You can spice it up with the midi/CV gate mode enabled and a matrix wired to the back. This will give you a grainy glitch overdub for things like voice or synth.

nice video great tips

you just used it as a repeater like an AKAI MPC has

Good!!! Congrats

nice vid bro !

great tutorials and just what i need on those slow days,any chance of a bass modulation video? many thanks

thanks bro much appreciated

Super interesting wow!

Don't use remote override! Create a sequencer lane for the ReDrum and just play the ReDrum with your keyboard just like you would if you were recording beats with your keyboard. The c4 - c5 keys are used for exactly soloing. You can also do this with the 16:4 mixer.

3.0. If you can't see notes in your sequencer, you need to toggle between "arrange mode" and "edit mode" by using the button top-leftmost.

I would have never thought about the lip smacking thing if you guys didn't bring it up

hombre you are great nice tip thx

Reason does not record or receive live audio. However, you can record into Audacity or something and play back through a Reason Sampler. I record Guitar on the simple microphone jack on a laptop and I can make it sound great with the reason FX.

Wow thanks man !! Any idea on how to create 6/8 time signature using redrum's pattern ?

Very nice thanks for sharing

I think you have to program those pads to fall between C1 and A1. The Enigma software does this perhaps? As long as you get the pads to send those notes, it should trigger the drum with the velocity you hit with.

I always used the NN-XT instead of the redrum until I saw this... thanks!

Ahhww... Mannnn! Now I can't stop hearing it too... ;)

Hi there good video, even though this video was created some 15 years ago. Are you still using this method to create your drums. Because I get stuck creating patterns so it wont sound the same throughout the track it'll be boring. I wanna try to do better but i keep getting stuck.

this is a really creative tutorial. and @david 36012 I agree have you ever used reason? You can transfer all of this knowledge over. I'm gonna watch more of your vids mr. ace!

fantastic.....

Toss the redrum into a combinator, and record into the Combinator track!

@usedtohatecellphones If you are using Reason and you want the song to change tempo at certain times just right click the tempo display and select the automate function.

nice work...

thz again for the very usefull vid's

Absotruthly inspiring.

Can you make a drum beat using redrum and the touch pads on a MIDI keyboard? I have an Axiom 25. Thanks SO MUCH for all of your tutorials, they are helping immensly.

Sick!!!

thanks you gave me what have looking for iw would like that

you might need 2 subtractors identical to each other, and detune the 2ndone slightly. Play them together in combinator!

@usedtohatecellphones That's why I said be more specific, some devices have resolution settings but that isn't tempo adjustment. The only way that I can think of would be to automate the tempo of the song as and when you need to.

@jamaicandjnado - Once you've copied the pattern to track, try clicking on the 'Enable Pattern Section' button, then the only thing playing will be the midi instead of the ReDrum machine.

I give you respect bro. I have a few hits coming out and your shit is tight. I have a few tricks but never get time to post. Email me anytime, you can hit my studio and let's do some business.

Excellent tip, tried it out, getting real cool glitch effects, but I can't seem to automate the resolution... is it poss??

Thanks bro! I'll try. Give me a topic!

I use Windows Media encoder. WMENCODER on google will take you right to the download. Had to play a lot with the settings until I got it right though. I crop the screen so it's focused on Reason as you no doubt noticed.

very cool.

creative!

I covered some of that in my Midi Remastering tutorial (part 2) but I don't know if it has the detail you need. If you have seen it, let me know what I need to elaborate on.

nice !!

My videos say it all! What would I add to it?

hi there, i like this..how about hooking up a matrix to the resolution or to the solos and make patterns that way..is that possible?..

Are you using a controller or your keyboard to effect reason? I', using reason as a plugin through protools and trying to figure out how to get my controller to "control" reason

Nvm, Fixed the problem. Nice vid!

It's just a complex setup! The drum "playing" is as natural as playing the redrum normally!

how do you get the transport screen to go into that mode where you can see the notes? are you using reason 4.0?

sorry noob question..but how do u get to that screen in the redrum? the green and red and yellow where the sequence goes? is it a different type of sequencer? i can't find it. any help?

yes, unless you do a "Send To Track" for the length of your song.

please help me with my problem im teaching my self how to use reason 4 in a new beat i made i used redrum and dr rex loop player when i hit play the redrum plays from the beginning even though on the timeline thingy its supposed to come it at specific points, when i export as audio file same thing happens the redrum plays from the beginning and goes all the way through the track. wen it does get to the pattern i placed on the timeline it kind of gets distorted and has mch more bass.

is the combinator patch still available anywhere..?

how do you make a pattern of one beat in a bar? or for one bar? Is there a limit to how small you can get it?

Are you sure you're playing the combinator and not just playing the Redrum? Check which Seq. track you have selected and make sure it is routed to Combinator!

Nice.

Well, it's not entirely true. I mainly use the keyboard only for when I need odd or humanized timings. I'm a big "draw and repeat" type of composer. But when I started using the keys, I found I was able to immediately write better music, even without any real training. Simply because it's easier to trial a chord or phrase until it sounds right. Try "Bome's Mouse Keyboard" coupled with Maple Virtual midi. This will enable you to use your qwerty keyboard as a piano.

can you only playback the solo triggers while the redrum is enabled and in run mode?
