Practice for Friday Quiz

This Friday we will be having a quiz on using the Dr. REX and the keyboard together. We will be using The next few days to make some practice beats. Lets get started!

1. Open Reason
2. Make sure you have a Mixer 14:2
3. Set Tempo in between 80-110
   
4. Now lets make a 16 or 32 step beat!
   
5. Create Redrum
6. In Sound 1 on the Redrum, load a Clap and put it on 5 and 13.
7. In Sound 2 on the Redrum, load a Bass Drum and put it on 1, and a few other boxes (except 5 and 13).
   
8. In Sound 3 on the Redrum, load a Hi Hat and put it on boxes that sound good.
9. In Sound 4 on the Redrum, load a Percussion sound and put it anywhere.
10. If you're making a 32 step beat, we want to edit steps 17-32. If not, skip to step 14.
    
11. Change the steps of the Redrum from 16 to 32.
12. Move the Edit Steps from 1-16 to 17-32.
13. Repeat steps 6 through 9.
14. Now that you've finished making your pattern, it's time to Copy Pattern To Track.
15. Right click on the Redrum and select Copy Pattern to Track.
16. Click on the PATTERN button on the Redrum so that they don't play at the same time.
17. Move your Right Loop point to R3
    
18. Create a Dr. Rex instrument loop.
19. Go to the Create menu and Create a Dr. Rex Loop Player.
20. We need to load a loop, so click on the folder in the upper left hand corner of the loop player.
21. Choose one of your favorite loops.
22. Now, we're going to play the loop using the keyboard.
23. Push play and try making a new melody using the keyboard.
    
24. When you find a melody that you like, push record, wait for the cursor to get back to the L and start playing!
25. When you are done, push stop.
26. Save your beat as Rex Keyboard Practice
