Help! - automating patterns in Reason
So I'm generally new to Reason. I programmed a bunch of patterns in bank A1,
A2, A3 and so on and I would like to be able to play for example A1 for 8 measures, then 1 measure of A2, then back to A1 for 8 measures, then A3 for 2 measures.....you get the idea. So I thought I had finally figured it out when I clicked on the little "Show Pattern Lane" button and I could just write in the patterns I wanted it to play for each bar using the pencil tool. But once I got my "automation" programmed and pressed the "Play" button on the transport bar (not the "run" button in redrum), it would only loop whatever pattern I had selected in ReDrum. It would play A1 until I clicked on A2 and totally ignore my "pattern lane" automation. I tried "copy pattern to file" and even tried hitting the record button and manually selecting the pattern which I wanted it to play (this did nothing at all). Can somebody shed a little light? Thanks a billion!!! -- Jonny Durango "Patrick was a saint. I ain't." http://www.jdurango.com |

Thanks a billion!!! Ok, so I am not too familiar with pattern bamks but two things come to mind with redrum. 1.try copying each pattern to track in the order you want(which I think you said you tried?) then 2.make sure that the play pattern switch(i'm not sure of the exact name) is turned off in the redrum interface. It is a little red indicator light that keeps the sequencer from playing properly because it will only play back the pattern currently in redrum.Hope that helps |
