Dr. Rex Loop Player: Reason 3.0 Software Tutorial

Video Transcript

Now we're going to learn a little bit about the basics of the Dr. Rex modual. Now Dr. Rex is a lot like having your own MPC Reason. You can manipulate individual slices that you have assigned and they actually assigned some different loops for you to play yourself. You can either play the individual loops through the keyboard or you can let them run as an entire loop through your songs. So what we're going to do right now is basically assign a whole entire loop since it's the easiest thing to do. So we're going to go over here to our software, we're going to right click at the bottom, we're going to select Dr. Rex loop player and we're going to click the folder. We're in the Reason factory sound bank which is here so I'm going to go back and show you where I can load it up. So we're going to go to Dr. Rex instrument loops, so I like the way that sounds and you can preview that here in the individual Dr. Rex modual by clicking the preview button. The original loop tempo was 93 beats per minutes and the tempo of my song is 96 but since this particular loop has been previously sliced perfectly by the Reason software. That these individual sounds fire off when you need them to in the individual beats so you can actually take the tempo of song up or down. And it won't affect how this loops sound it'll match the individual song. Now we're going to add this little hip hop loop to our project make sure that Dr. Rex is highlighted first in the sequencer window. Then you’re going to hit two track and there is your information for that particular loop. We're going to play that to see how it sounds. (playing) Not bad, let me show you how to play the individual notes when you bring up change the edit mode window you can see the actual assignments. This is each individual slice that has been sliced by reason its self so we're going to take the window up and show you that each and each one of these individual slices is assigned to the keyboard itself. So when you play these on the keyboard you can actually play that.
