How to Program and Produce Beats with Redrum by Mo Volans
If you are a Reason or Record owner you are lucky enough to have access to one of the best virtual drum machines out there. Making great beats quickly is a breeze using its step sequencing system and editing sounds is just as easy.
Programming Drums in Reason by Simon Price
Even when I’m working in another software package, such as Live or Pro Tools, I still tend to run Reason via Rewire, to handle the bulk of the drums. This is because I’ve yet to find a more friendly and versatile set of tools for programming drum sequences. Reason lets you work with drums in so many different ways: you can create a Redrum drum machine, and use its built-in step sequencer. You can play and record drums in Redrumfrom your MIDI keyboard or trigger-pads.
Refining Rhythm In Reason by Simon Price
In last month’s Reason workshop feature, we looked at the Redrum drum machine, its built-in step sequencer, and how to build drum arrangements by chaining patterns together. At the end of the process, we converted the whole arrangement into individual note events in the sequencer, using the Convert Pattern Track to Notes command. This time, we’ll look at some of the ways in which this data can be manipulated. The same techniques also work with drum tracks created using the NNXT sampler.
Creative ReDrums (Part 1) by Phi Sequence
I often get asked and see on the Props forum many complaints that the supplied drum kits are lacking in depth and sound flat. Often this takes the form of slams against the props for providing lacklustre drum kits in the Factory Soundbank. Truth is, the drum sounds can be expanded upon, and if you’re willing to take some time, they can be made to sound much deeper and more punchy. It’s all in what you do with them. The power is all there in front of you, and with the Redrum there’s a lot of flexibility.
Creative ReDrums (Part 2) by Phi Sequence
In part 1 of our Redrum tutorials, I showed you a few ways you can improve the drum kits in your arsenal by using Thor’s filters, and some M Class Mastering devices. In this tutorial, I’m going to work in reverse and show you how to use the Redrum as a gate CV device to trigger a series of 10 Thors, which act as the drum sounds. This is where things can get pretty interesting, as you can gain complete control over the drum sounds by creating them from scratch using Thor’s Oscillators and Filters. Then, we’ll try to use a technique laid out by Matt Piper in which all the drums are filtered through a Vocoder. This is yet another way to get some beef and boom out of the drums. So let’s work some creative Redrum magic.
Creative ReDrums (Part 3) by Phi Sequence
In the first Part of this series, I showed you how to punch up your factory soundbank drums, and in the second, I showed you how you can create your own synth drum kit and trigger each drum via the Redrum device. In this Tutorial, I’m going to show you a few other innovative things you can do with a Redrum device and a little imagination. First, we’ll build upon the drum kit we created in Part 2, and then branch out to show how you can chain your drums together and layer them to give a richer thicker sound. Finally, I’ll point out a few other quick and easy tricks, just to get your inspiration flowing.
Programming Patterns in the Redrum by Roger Cawkwell
Looking at the Redrum. Yes, it’s about time we did that. The relevant parts are the Steps and Resolution selectors just above the step entry buttons.Stepsselects how many equal time slots there are in the pattern, Resolution sets how large or small those steps are. Patterns may have any number of steps up to 64 and the resolution of each of those steps may be as large as a half note (minim, two beats in normal time) or as small as a 1/128 note, each quarter note beat divided into 32 tiny segments!
How do I arpeggiate Dr.REX or Redrum by Propellerhead Software
Neither Dr.REX nor Redrum have any inputs on the back that you can connect the RPG-8 arpeggiator to. However, they can still be arpeggiated.

Hi there and thankyou for the information – I’ve certainly learned something interesting on here. I did however have a few technical problems with this website, because I needed to refresh the page several times before it would load properly. I wonder if your hosting service is adequate for your needs? Not that I am complaining, but slow loading times can sometimes lower your ranking in google and will lower your quality score if using Adwords. Anyway I am going to add your feed to my email and will look out for more of your interesting content. Please update this again soon…
