It seems like most folks need time to finish up their 2 C Minor assignments, so I'm giving you today to finish them both up. Remember, I need for you to turn in 2 separate Reason files:
- your name_CMinorscale
- your name_CMinorbeat
Please make sure you turn them both in to the Dropoff folder by the end of the period.
Assignment #2 - C Minor scale
- Open a new Reason file.
- Create a Subtractor Analog Synthesizer.
- Load a sound from one of the four main categories (Bass, Monosynth, Pad, or Polysynth).
- Set the L marker on Bar 1 and the R marker on Bar 5.
- Turn on the Click (aka metronome) and set the tempo to something you can work with. Remember - the goal is to play one note on each click!
- Practice playing the C Minor scale up and down in time with the metronome: (C-D-Eb-F-G-Ab-Bb-C-C-Bb-Ab-G-F-Eb-D-C)
- When you've got it down, hit the Record button and record your performance.
- Fix any off notes by quantizing.
- Save the file to your folder as "(your name)_C Minor scale"
- Have one of the instructors check it and then turn it in to the Dropoff folder (Pickupdropoff>BAVAC>Dropoff>Period 5).
Assignment #3 - C Minor beat
- Start a new Reason file.
- Create a Redrum and make a 32-step beat.
- Put it into the Sequencer Window using Copy Pattern to Track.
- Now create a keyboard instrument (Subtractor/Malstrom/NN19/NNXT/Combinator) and load a patch into it. Please make it something where you can hear actual notes (not FX or Drums or Percussion).
- Using the C-Minor scale, find some notes that sound good with your beat. Record a melody over your drum beat. You can play the notes in any order, or any style that you want, but they have to ALL be from the C Minor scale.
- Add some more instruments and play some parts that go along with the first melody you just put down.
- Copy all your parts out so that they end on Bar 17.
- Save this as your name_CMinor beat.
- Turn it in to the Dropoff folder.
