Anyone else ever play arpeggios through midi to record slices of drum loops in Reason? I'm wondering if others have had luck with this technique? Or if I'm just tempted to do it 'cause I can. What do ya say? |

Done it, had some luck. Additionally, I like using the lfo's on the pitch with really fast beats... it really makes it sound glitchy. On slow beats, if you program it right, it can sound like record scratching. |

I am a big fan of the Dr Rex, actually. I can make my own arpeggios with my synth, so it's kinda cool to play those at different tempos and record into Reason that way. Experiment with it a bit like that. I also like making beats on my synth, recording and recycling, then sampling through the Dr Rex. This is much better than having midi drums and matching the kits (i make my own sounds or modify existing ones 95% of the time). I don't want to sacrifice control for randomization though. This is my concern, I don't want it to sound too much like guess and check, and I fear that I am biased against that thinking since I know what I'm doing 'cause I programmed the arpeggios. :| |

Ummm... personally, I find randomness to be way overrated. If you could program it to sound random, but program the pitch of the different 'random' sounds so that they harmonize, that is much better. And that takes more skill. Personally, if it wasn't for the rex player, I wouldn't use reason. If anyone knows a similar program that works just as well, but is a vst, let me know. |

Oh, I don't mean random for the sake of random. :) I mean something like how, say, Venetian Snares has a sort of randomness to some of his work, that it doesn't fall into patterns that are easily recognizable the way something like early Aphex and Autechre does, but not something so random that it loses all rhythm like some of Merzbow's extreme stuff. |
