WORKING WITH PLAYERS369
A couple of special features:
• The Locked XY positions can be automated for each drum.
This allows you to lock a single drum to a rhythm but change it with automation:
• The Map selection ("Beat Map" parameter) can be automated or controlled from a Combinator.
Switching to another map can be useful as a break or fill.
Editing the drum notes
To manually edit the beats from Beat Map, you need to send the MIDI notes to a sequencer track. You do this with
the Send To Track function on the Player top panel, see “Common Player device parameters”.
Using CV
On the back of Beat Map, you'll find a comprehensive selection of CV inputs and outputs.
• Density CV in and Mirror Velocity CV in for each drum.
Using these with a Pulsar CV LFO can create longer, varying rhythmic patterns or random variations. There are
plenty of examples of this among the Combinator Style Patches.
• Gate Out from main drums and Mirror sections, allowing you to trigger other sounds or effects in parallel.
• Reset Step Trig In.
Whenever this receives a positive CV value, the beat will start over from the first step.
• Map XY CV Inputs, for automatically modulating the map position during playback.
• Map XY CV Outputs.
These send out the X/Y coordinates as CV values, letting you use the Map display as an XY controller for other
devices in Reason.
