Tips and Tricks
Automating sample playback parameters from the sequencer
Besides the extensive modulation capabilities of the Modulation Bus, the sample playback parameters can also be
automated in the Reason sequencer. For example, you could automate the Sample Start and/or Sample End markers
in the Sample section to have the markers reposition in real-time during playback of the Reason sequencer. Below is
a basic example of how you could automate various sample playback parameters:
1. Record some notes on the Grain sequencer track in the Reason sequencer and then hit Stop twice.
2. Hit Record again in the Reason sequencer and drag the Sample Start and Sample End markers during record-
ing:
3. Hit Stop in the sequencer twice when you are done recording.
If you moved both the Sample Start marker and the Sample End marker you will now have four Parameter Auto-
mation lanes with clips on them on the Grain sequencer track. A green Parameter Automation frame is also visible
around the Sample section display:
The first two Parameter Automation lanes - the Display Y lane and the Display Gate lane - always appear as soon
as you have recorded any marker movements in the Sample section display.
