2/23_Introducing the NN19/C-Minor chords


Basic

Today you're going to start working with a new instrument, the NN19.

Assignment:
  1. Start a new Reason session.
  2. Create a Redrum drum machine and make a 32-step drum beat.
  3. Set your loop markers (L on Bar 1, R on Bar 5) and put your drums into the Sequencer Window using Copy Pattern to Track.
  4. Now Create an NN19 Digital Sampler.
  5. Load a patch into it and start to play some notes along with your drum beat.
  6. When you feel like you have a good melody going, go ahead and record yourself playing.
  7. If you don't like your performance, hit Undo (Apple-Z) and record it again. If you're happy with it, go on to the next step.
  8. Using the Pencil tool, draw a region around the notes you just recorded (click and drag from Bar 1 to Bar 5).
  9. Go back to the Arrow tool and use it to copy both the drums and the melody so that they end on Bar 17.
  10. Save your beat to your Home folder as your name_NN19.
  11. Put a copy in the Dropoff folder (Pickupdropoff>BAVAC>Dropoff>Period 5).
Advanced
Please finish working on your C-Minor Chord assignment. This will be due by the end of tomorrow.
