Creating a drum pattern
In this tutorial we will describe how to create a drum pattern using the Redrum device. If you have kept the
song from the previous tutorial open, you can skip the first step.
1. Select “New” from the File menu.
This will open a new song, which by default is configured with a Combinator effect patch named “De-
fault Mastering Suite”, and a mixer device.
2. Select “Redrum Drum Computer” from the Create menu.
In the sequencer, a track for the Redrum is created. It is automatically selected and gets master key-
board input.
3. Click the folder button in the lower left corner of the Redrum panel.
This opens the patch browser for the drum machine, allowing you to select a Redrum patch (a drum
kit). Note that there are folder buttons for each drum sound channel too - these let you add drum sam-
ples one by one and create your own drum kits.
4. Select a Redrum patch in the same way as you selected a Subtractor patch in the previ-
ous tutorial.
The patches are located in category folders within the folder “Redrum Drum Kits” in the Reason Fac-
tory Sound Bank - this main folder is opened by default.
