There’s a button under the sample name in each channel strip with the same icon that allows you to pick individual samples. You’ll also notice that the preset selector isn’t the only place that has a folder icon. When I refer to the pattern selector, this is what I’m talking about. These are for pattern selection and we’ll be using these a few times in this tutorial.

To the left of the strip of white buttons is a bunch of smaller numbered buttons.

When you click, the button will turn yellow, which indicates the sample is to be played at that point in the pattern. To program hits for a given drum, press Select in the channel strip-as you can see the bass drum is selected in this screenshot-and then click on the beats in that row of white buttons at the bottom. If all has gone well, your Reason workspace will look like this:Īs you can see, the drum machine is made up of two primary components: channel strips for each sample and a sort of sequencer. Once there is a mixer in the rack, right click the blank space underneath it and click Redrum Drum Computer. Usually, your new Reason file will be set up with a mixer already in the rack, but if it isn't, right-click on any blank rack space and choose Mixer 14:2. To hear audio, click back to the tutorial or download the Play Pack for this tut (scroll down to the end). Note: this tutorial contains embedded audio that will not display in a feed reader.

If you’ve got an itch to ditch your drummer, here’s how to program a rock beat using ReDrum, Reason’s resident drum machine. The point is that Reason is flexible and useful for all musicians. I know one punk rock band that sold pretty well a few years back using completely programmed drums, and surprisingly nobody ever noticed-I’ll spare their reputation the damage and keep the band’s name to myself. Reason is used by musicians across many genres not just electronica artists, but rockers, folk artists and pop bands, too.
