Kong Drum Designer
The Kong Drum Designer is an advanced drum sound module with 16 drum sound channels. You can
sample and/or load samples (Wave, AIFF, SoundFont files and REX files) individually for each channel, or
open patches, which are complete kits (a number of which are included in the Reason Factory Sound
Bank).
Each sound channel can consist of one out of several different types of drum sound modules, including
Sample Player, REX Player, Physical Modeling modules and Drum Synth modules. You can also add two
additional “insert FX” modules to each drum sound channel. The effects can be additional sound genera-
tors or various types of effects. The Kong Drum Designer also features a Bus FX and a Master FX for each
Kit.
The Kong Drum Designer should be used as a sound module, which you can play live from an external
MIDI controller and/or from the main Reason sequencer. The 16 pads can be assigned in a number of dif-
ferent ways to allow for maximum flexibility.
