Keyboard pt. 2

  1. Open Reason
  2. Make sure you have a Mixer 14:2
  3. Set Tempo between 70-110 bpm
  4. Create a Redrum and make a 32 step drum pattern using a Clap or Snap, Bass Drum, Hi Hat, and Percussion. Make sure you put the sounds on appropriate boxes!
  5. On the Redrum, Copy Pattern To Track.
  6. Now Create a Malstrom: choose Mono Synths: And choose any sound in the Mono Synths folder.
  7. Move the Right loop point to R3
  8. Create a melody using notes from the C major scale (the white keys). Use between 3 and 5 different notes
  9. When you have finished making your melody, hit the quantize button. The quantize button helps to fix your melody if you make a mistake and it is off the rhythm of your Redrum beat.
  10. Create a Dr. Rex and load a Percussion Loop.
  11. Don't copy it to track! Play the different slices using the keyboard. When you have something cool, record it.
  12. When you finish recording the Percussion loop, don't forget to press the quantize button.
  13. Save your beat as (YOUR NAME) keyboard2.
