Reason Redrum as 8-step sequencer

[THCSaris]

Nice weird freaking tune :)

[Distorsted]

pretty nice

[Alm1ghtyAv3ng3r]

Very nice, after seeing this makes me want to try myself :] - Then whack in my Kaosillator, Mini KP and Monotron as send effects and you've got a cool live performance machine lined up!

PROPELLHEADS FTW!

[FreedomBeats]

really decent mate, would be class live aswell. Be a bit of a blag taking that though, wouldnt want it to get damaged

[PeterCatLovesYou]

@FreedomBeats Agreed mate. Thought about this: if you just want to use the faders then you might be able to get away with using Behringer's BCF2000. But I would really like to use the PMI/O to process live inputs via Ableton as well...

[FreedomBeats]

@PeterCatLovesYou Ye the Behringer would do the job. And ye this with ableton live would be ace! Im thinking of getting ones of these to go with ableton and cubase, but i've heard the pre ams arnt too good....

[nuelogic]

Great video mate! I would like to know how you're using this unit as a sequencer? I also have project mix i/o which i'm using with ableton. Is there anyway I can use it a sequencer with ableton?

[PeterCatLovesYou]

@nuelogic Cheers mate. I just set up redrum with a load of identical samples (sawtooths I think), created a pattern which ran through the 8 steps in sequence, and used the faders (pre-configured in Reason anyway) to alter the pitch or amplitude (by hitting the Flip button). Unfortunately no clever way I can think of do this in Ableton (which I now user more often) although I believe that there is now a step sequencer available via Max for Live, which you might be able to MIDIfy. Good luck!

[junkhop]

wow...I love Reason. nice work

[deanobro69]

Nice demo dude. I've never thought of using redrum in this way.

[joise69]

fuck uuuuu dude...... (meant it in a good way) :)

[MickBoobaloo]

Wow, man. Really terrific stuff. I wish I knew Reason better so I could turn my project mix into a sequencer...hmmmm.....

[djaykris]

what is the name of this controller?

[BigThingsTV]

how do you do this? could you PM me maybe? i just got a projectmix yesterday...

[djmigra]

Awesome!!! I'd love to buy one of those but US$1,100+ is too much for me!!!! ='''O

[TheBassHeavy]

How much is the desk?

[vanjuxa]

Yeah man! u re best :)

[eddybamyasi]

Wow, peterkat, what a public service - 14500 views! Not into the techy details really but great Tan Dream/Klaus Schulze/Aphex Twin loop.

[slackdave]

I like how the rhythm changes when the cymbals faded in!!

[sonarscopevideo]

nice 1

[telemetry]

Wow, great use of hardware and samples man! That does not have the "Reason Sound" at all.

[PeterCatLovesYou]

Thanks man. Funnily enough pretty basic patches but glad you liked.

[slackdave]

I don't understand that whole "reason sound" talk. I've made things with reason people wouldn't guess was made with reason.

Obviously if you use all the pre-sets and loops that come with it.. but who does?!

[okstereohead]

How I would love me some protools :(

[spoonator007]

Hey, what software are you using?

im using protools but the flip button is not working=)

[coughlinkelly]

Dude, I just picked up one of these units and I'm freaking out! I can't believe the power that is within this thing. I'm really glad I spent the $1000, well worth every penny. We will be in touch!

[Reeda64]

2 software specific questions:

#1

how did u get the pitch workin at minute 1:10f ? i know how to pitch a sample in redrum but i dont not know u could define the pitch for seperate grid points differently.

#2

how did u change the pattern length for 1 sample, while the others keep playing onbeat.

very nice work btw.

thx, Kabelstapler

[PeterCatLovesYou]

Hi Kabel, soz for delay.

#1 They're not so much grid points as redrum playing the same sample across all 8 drum pads in order: swapping to fader layout enabled me sample to tune each pad (i.e. adjust the pitch). Make sense? No setup required: luckily the mapping was correct to do this.

#2: you'll need to clarify this one I'm afraid (if my description above hasn't helped!) The distorted sound was playing a matrix pattern in 7/8 time whilst all the others were straight 4/4.

And thanks!

[LastTribunal]

I wonder if Yamaha 01X can do this as well as ProjectMix

[PeterCatLovesYou]

Erm, I guess so, but read the manufacturer's specs...

[samth3mancgp]

Wow! this is amazing! i've been looking at lots of videos of the project mix i/o and most of them are just showing off vegas mode, but this is the best video showing what this unit can do! I just picked up a ProjectMix of my own on ebay today =)

[PeterCatLovesYou]

Cheers man. It really is ideal for most DAWs, esp. Reason and Ableton. Glad you enjoyed!

[majorrusk]

why you marred? where is you brain, dude?

[PeterCatLovesYou]

Que?

[majorrusk]

See the wedding ring on your finger :)

[trom69]

Very nice use of the control surface!

[mantagrae]

that was a pretty dope mix mann, sounded fresh, i liked that improve ; )

[timderamos]

question: how do you set project mix i/o faders into a flying faders.. like the ones on the website.. :) heheh!! thanks! tim

[xellos00]

Hi, thanx for the quick response. I have another question: how many channels can you control with the Projectmix? 8, 16, 24, 32???

[PeterCatLovesYou]

Basically an infinite number, but 8 at any time. (You press the bank select buttons to get to the next/previous channels.)

[xellos00]

It looks that you can control not only volume, but also effects right? I think there's a wha or something like that you're controlling.

[PeterCatLovesYou]

Yup, controlling ALL parameters through surface.

[Biohazzard07]

can i record more than 8 channels with the project mix i/o on sonar 7 (for example) ??

[PeterCatLovesYou]

Well, you can record 8 channels of audio SIMULTANEOUSLY. Don't forget this is a controller so it emulates the virtual mixer in your DAW (Ableton, Logic, whatever). You can flip from Channels 1-8 to 9-16 etc at the touch of a button.

[mcparham]

you can if you have an ADAT lightpipe connecting to another set of pre's..you can have a total of 16 simultaneous with this unit..i recommend the m-audio octane..

[Biohazzard07]

so right there are you using mor than 8 channels?

[ligterror]

Thats wonderful! What type of surface is that you are using?

[PeterCatLovesYou]

It's M-Audio's ProjectMix IO - but for this purpose any motorised fader surface would do, e.g. Behringer's very cheap BCF2000. Glad you liked!

[fakemessiah]

cool, but how you configurate de control surface with the sounds?

[PeterCatLovesYou]

This is done automatically by Reason. The sliders I push control faders on the various instruments I flick between.
