okay slower and maybe we'll be able to help ;)

what exactly are you having trouble with ?

[IssUes]

Everything i pretty much dont know wat im doing i put 6 "sounds" together and make a pretty good small track but there all default and i dont know how to record or anything.

[Sean]

ok well go look in the sequencer track of the drum machine. there should be three markers one labeled L, one R, one P. they stand for left right and play (derr) move the L to where you want, the r to where you want then right click on the drum machine and select "copy pattern to track" this will copy the pattern of the drum machine to the sequencer track in between those two markers. then turn off your pattern section of the drum machine and hit play in the transport and itll play back the pattern for however many bars you copied it in there for.

also everytime you have a question it would be nice if u could just add it to ur older threads instead of starting a new one each time.

[IssUes]

Man thanks that helped me heaps, god damn you da man it works hella good, solved afew of my problems now... yea soz about that but i like the attention :P

thanks heaps

[IssUes]

Ok next question: ive done that with the Drum Machine now how do i do it to the rest the others dont have "copy pattern to track"

[Sean]

ok look at the sequencer across the top of it is a bar full of option buttons. select the track assigned to whatever device you wish to compose with, then look at that top bar and select the second from left option (three horizontal lines) this brings up the composer, down the left you have a piano roll and pressing any key on the roll will play for you that note through your device. select the pencil button on that top bar and then simply draw in the notes you want.

[IssUes]

Sorry i dont get that can i have a bit more detail please? thanks oh also after i record a track where does it go?

thanks

[Sean]

do you know what the sequencer window is? ive basically spelled it out as simply as human possible.

[IssUes]

Yea thanks heaps for your help and yes i do know wat it is, man if you dont want to answer you dont have to youve been a great help so far ill just figure it out a differnet way..

[Sean]

dude sorry just read over what i wrote a few times. reasons weird until u start to understand what everything does. itll make sense eventually.

[IssUes]

Yea i can make a fairly good track i just cant get the damn Subtractor Patches to work.. ill keep working on it.

[driload]

hey issues dont take this the wrong way but...

get offline


the time you spend checking this you could just READ THE REASON MANUAL and not have these fundamental problems!

now i know you have a priate verion of reason but luckily the basics of the manual action is allllllll included.... go click on HELP and soak it up

or read the Acrobat file



oh, and to answer your subtractor cry for help, right click somewhere on the unit and click CREATE then MATRIX

the auto-assign will hook this up for you, so dont worry about routing

click RUN on the matrix, and draw in some blocks in the middle (this represents keys/pitch as per the little sketch to the left) and then add some lines down the "bottom" of the matrix

this section represents Velocities of the notes being played, or in some cases "note on/trigger"



stick with reason, you'll love it


its also a fantastic way to introduce people to the concept of signal flow and routing.... but more on that in about 6 months okay?

[phunkdust]

routing is so much fun, especially in the crazy ways programs like reason and fruity let you do it...

i want a routable version of NI's Pro52

[redambition]

does it have a "help" function?

[IssUes]

Yea, its just a little hard for a 14 YEAR OLD!!

[Sean]

like i said. thats no excuse. if you can't read the help/tutorial/manual then you can't use the software. which is it?
