As this site grows in content and an abundance of great ideas from users such as yourself, I’m finding that more of my time is spent putting together new material and generally trying to make this a great resource for everyone in the Reason/Record community. I’m also getting different requests from users on how to do certain things, and also many great people out there are sparking me to find new ways to achieve things in Reason/Record. I don’t want this to stop, so please keep the questions coming. I’ve always believed that this site is a joint partnership between you and me. And I would certainly like to keep it that way.
So now is the time in this partnership in which I ask you to give something back, not just to me, but to everyone else out there in the Reason/Record community. Here is how you can help both of us achieve our goals:
- Donate. This helps me pay for hosting costs and my time creating the patches and tutorials for you. If you like what you’re reading, watching, or listening to on this site and want it to continue, or if you use my patches in your work, then please make a donation. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated. I do 100% of this for free, and I would like to keep it that way.
- Donate a link or a mention. Spread the word in any way you can. Let people in other message boards and blogs know about Reason101.net. Post a link in your own sites and blogs, and tell everyone that this resource is completely 100% free for any and all musicians under the Creative Commons 3.0 license.
- Donate your comments and questions. Positive critical comments are always welcome. If you have a better way to do things, or know a workaround to an issue that I don’t, we all benefit. If you have a question, I’ll try my best to answer it, work out a patch for you, or help you in any way that I can. If I can’t, I’ll usually have a suggestion or two on where you can find the answers you seek. Just please keep things on topic and be specific and clear.
- Donate an article, patch or refill. I won’t guarantee I’ll post it or review it, but if you have some method or technique that you think is really hot, or you have some kick ass sounds, send me an email and let me know about it and I might just feature you under the “Contributor” section. Email me privately if you want to know where to send any CD or DVDs if your refill is too large to send. Are you really going to say no to free promotion?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and do your part to make this site and all the content within it a success! Now let’s go make some great music!
@Greg,
I’m not sure what might be causing that. Did you consult the manual for both the keyboard and reason? Did you ask around in the Reason forums? When it comes to specific MIDI hardware issues, you’ll probably get a quicker answer there. Good luck.
hi rob,i just hooked my keyboard up to reason 5 and it seems to work fine accept for one thing everytime i record it seems to register almost short stacco like notes no matter how long i hold them on the keyboard i must have it on some wrong mode or something

@Jagwah,
That’s an interesting approach. Hadn’t thought of that. You can also put a few echoes in series through the Breakout jacks to extend your echoes. Selig showed us a way to do this on the Propellerhead Forum. I might do a writeup on extending echoes and include both of these ideas. I’ll have to play around with it a bit first. And also have a few more tutorials to put together. But thanks for that idea.
Hi Rob,
Did you know if you want to use The echo for a long echo – perhaps a vocal repeating for a long time, you can add the breakout effects whenever you like by sending the breakouts to the ins and outs of a line mixer, and adding the effects as auxiliary send effects of that line mixer, and then turning the AUX knob on the line mixer – but you need to be VERY careful with that AUX knob as it is very sensitive.
Delayed double triggered echo anyone?
@Brian,
I have a feeling this has more to do with the RPG-8 than it does with Blocks overriding each other (which they shouldn’t). So my quick answer would be to duplicate the devices, and set one set of devices to automate in Block 1 the way you want, and set up the second set of devices to automate the way you want in Block 2. Try that out first and see if that doesn’t get you where you want to go. The Redrum will stay the same (with the same drum sounds in both), but the RPG-8s will be set differently in each block. That’s my initial thought. Let me know.
Hi there,
Rob ive been making some beats with the arp and the redrum and ive been having fun turning the gate function all the way up and the effect it produces but i have a problem.If i automate the gate in say block one a certain way sometimes ill want a differant automation is block 2 but ill get the same automation in both like one overrides the other. I dont have this problem when i draw it in only when i automate with knobs (which i like better cause of the control). Is there a way to seperate those automations?
thanks
Brian
@Carmen
Possibly. Did you check to see how the CV is routed and how the audio is routed, as well as how the Combinator is programmed? Those hold the keys to explain how most patches work. If you are unfamiliar with any of these concepts, you should consult the Reason manual. This does a pretty good job of going over the basics.
Hi there, Im sorry i didnt see your responce it was on the next page…but i basicly mess with the Knobs and do make some progress…even other ones like say the “chop-tron” sounds awsome..i mess with the features but it doesnt do much i must be missing something;)
@Carmen,
Unfortunately I don’t. But if you open up the effects, you can see how everything is routed, so you already have a tutorial inside the patch itself. Why not take a look and study how its set up? Most likely, it sounds like it’s using the Echo’s Roll function right? Or is it a DDL delay line? I haven’t looked at the patches, I’m just assuming based on the name. Maybe I’ll do a tutorial down the road about “Freeze / Stutter” effects, but setting them up should not be that difficult. So have a look inside the Combinator and see if you can figure it out first.
All my best,
Rob
Rob, do you have any tutorials on some of these combinators like: ‘ freeze stutter run’ under the ‘create effect’ ..they look pretty wild ive been messing with them.
