Getting Started with Beat Map 

Well, I gotta admit: this is one unique and a very useful player. Didn't expect this. 10/10

RYAN IS BACK!

I’ve completely ignored this player every time I jump of reason , but after watching this video this about to change. Thank you my guy !

Quick tip: put a note echo after a simple beat (like this generates), play with the note transpose and delay until you get some kind of great polyrhythm! Try transpose +4 with 3/4, it will play the top 4 pads with a delay.

Ryan and Reason are perfect and committed 👍👏👏

These videos with Ryan need to come more often. The step by step delivery is key for learning the functionality of Reason 11

Wow... That's awesome player... I have opened Reason Suit and found an update was available. Now, I am installing the new updates. Thank you Reason Studios about awesome instruments and players.

Just discovered this is great at driving orchestral percussion - automate those density knobs!

I'm excited to play this. With reason I generally record live guitar, live ukulele, live bass and my piano chops are good enough for me to play my midi loops and internal instruments. Until I learn to play the drums I just bought, this will be a life savor for helping me something fun and unique.

This is super wonderful. Loving everything that comes out of this!

I can't believe how much that enhanced my beat. My official "go to" from now on.

This is so cool. Can't stop playing with this since I downloaded the update earlier.

This is what makes Reason Studios special: imagining NEW WAYS to innovate with Players, which are the best out there. Quad Note Generator, Dual Arpeggio, Drum Sequencer and now Beat Map are simply brilliantly conceived and executed. I'd like to see you guys aim that brilliance at building a Chord Track into Reason ala Tracktion Waveform, but "Reasonmagined" into something even easier to use to build, suggest, modify chord progressions, and integrating that functionality into the DAW.

Loving Reason more and more with every new update!

Finaly a new update and a new tool! Go this way Reason Studios!

Great new feature :D

Love your tutorials man, please keep em coming.

Thank you for making this video. It will prove invaluable to me and other Reason users.

Very cool feature! I'm loving it!

It really works well! This is my go to beatmaking rack extensions from now on!

This is soo sooo cool! I love the concept of Beatmap and that you gave this tool for free! This is a really fun, useful and creative Tool!

This is insane! Love it!

You guys make music Software that feels like it's made by artists and for artists. Interesting unique and easy to approach concepts always. All risks all the time. Nothing is sacred!

This is such a great program. I love using it!

Well don RS, you’ve out done yourselves with this one! The journey... yessss!

OH MY GOD FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO LIKE THIS! I hope Frank gets an entry too!

I love Reason, have 11 Suite which is amazing value, but I also just bought Live Suite and every time I see a video from Reason Studios it seems like this is what they wanted or expected me to do. Anyway, I love them

That was a very nice tutorial. Kuddos to you all! Blessings my friends

Very interesting, good to see that nice things are being implemented in the smaller updates

I use this all the time. I have started exploring using it with the Morpher CV Utility RE and the NoteMix Player to be able to save different beats and be able to jump back and forth.

great job guys!

What kind of magic is this FFS!!! (I love it) It's scary but I love it!

it's really amazing stuff!!!

Such a cool feature!

Fantastic!

Nice idea and realization

This is a super useful drum sequencer. I love mutable instruments grids.

holy shit, this is so amazing, this makes things way easier

Amazing Idea

Great one :)

I must confess my initial reaction was "Is this some ridiculous easy-mode device?". Now I think it seem to be a great creativity booster/complement!

very nice interpretation of sequencing. creative mapping.

ITS AMAZING! I LOVE IT! THANK YOU!!!!!

Woah, now this is a game changer.

This is so dope :)

Lmaoooo this is awesome!!

OK. I usually like to actually beat my drums on a pad controller. But this is just crazy. I need this right now!

Underdog sent me. Liked and subbed, to the channel and Reason.

I had my suspicions with this. Tried it last night. Now i need it 😅

I use Ez Drummer from toontrack and what originally attracted me was the control of density for individual drums. This takes that concept in a very cool direction. Looking forward to seeing how much variety exists in the maps. Hopefully those can be continually updated for a while.

damn this is gonna make me upgrade

This amazing😁

Tried it last night for the first time. I only spent about 1 & a half hours just playing with it while halfway making a beat. I had just got off an 11 hour shift so I didn’t have much time. My problem is being a perfectionist and always wanting to find the perfect fit for every single little thing possible ... and I’ve just finally succumbed to the fact that the possibilities are so infinitely endless that it’s best to just go with my first or second instinct !!! ... and just use all them extra possibilities for the next new beat 🤷🏽‍♂️

Love your tutorials. Thank you!

this is a very creative UI !

Well, that's quite nice and great that's it's FREE with 11.2 :)

this is insane

Grids is a helluva drug. I love ideas from eurorack turn to more mainstream tools.

FIREEEE!!! SUPER EXITED!!!

Nice!

Nice function. I like it.

To move the X/Y controller of Beat-Map: Put Beat Map and Pulsar LFO into an combinator. Flip the rack. Put Pulars LFO 1-out in the CV-1 ("Source CV IN"section) of to Combinator and Pulsar LFO 2-out into CV-2 of the combinatror. FLIP the rack. Go to EDIT of the combinator. Mark Beat Map in th list to enter it´s internal routing. In the soures of the right menu-list choose CV-1 and the target (to the rright) : X-Position. Same for CV-2 but with target: y-postiion. Now set the Pulsar to your liking. You should see the X/Y pad moving now ;). Happy experimenting. So much better with this workflow. There is also a video from Random Noise "Reason 12 Quick Tip - Easy Automation with Combinator" that show that kind of trick. Cheers Andy

Damn, did not know you could do that, again!

amazing

Go Reason Go!!!

Ryan could sell ketchup to an eskimo 😂. Nice update btw

Very lovely update to reason need that midi out to work in logic pro x. Also the drum sequencer for some how not playing kong in logic but all the other players works

Figuring out how to modulate the XY with a combinator remains one of my proudest achievements.

Wiild wiild wild thoughts when I’m with you all I get is wild thoughts👍🏾

The creativity of Reason never seizes to amaze me!! This is next level drum programming.

Best player since Reason gets even bigger and better......

This thing is awesome! The one conundrum I'm having is settling on a few final layouts for those mirror hits. I'd like for the midi files it produces to be "plug and play" which is going to require hours of work standardizing a template that will work with most if not all of my VST's It doesn't help that I'm trying to learn finger drumming which uses completely different layouts than the standard GM so I have my work cut out for me. I'm happy to stick with audio stems for now, but I'd really love to build up a catalog of midi files I don't have to spend loads of time tweaking to get to sound as intended.

This is next level. Somebody stop me!!

This is the kind of thing that needs to be included to inspire upgrading.

Like Mutable Instruments Grids, or Grids for M4L in Ableton (available as a freeware Max for Live port since 2014). I guess the idea has been around for so long, so Reason needs its own little take on the idea...

It’s like Mutable Instruments GRIDS for Reason

Woah, this is so wacky! The more I learn about Reason's instruments, the more I'm considering switching to it from FL

Wow you's are amazing

Love this player! By the way, how do we copy individual sounds out of one umpf preset to another so we can build a custom kit?

doe this then export the midi track if using in ableton or recorded as one line of Audio? - sorry if its a silly question but im seriously considering upgrading my old reason so i can use in tandem with Ableton Live

I'm using it for regular instruments. lie guitars. It's FIRE ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

If Ryan returns with a new tutorial, I will upgrade to Reason 11😇

Okay I was sold on this pretty quick but I literally said 'yeeeeess, fuck yes' when you showed alll the CV IO options.

This is fantastic Reason Studios. As soon as I get my tax return I'm buying the update from 7. Would be nice to see this type of rhythm sequencer but for chords and progressions. That would truly be a game changer.

I have been waiting on technology to get to this point for a long time. This is a more creative way of Creating music.

I loaded up an amen break that I'd chopped up into Kong and then used Beat Map and it was hours of break manipulation fun

Hey! Would you guys please do in depth Reason Studios videos on Quadnote and PolyStep Sequencer?

Was surprised to see this, but limited in that you can only control 4 channels, the mirror channels are not independent. Kong is 16 pad drum machine, so perhaps in a later update, more pads/samples can be used with this, to make full use of the included drum machines.

My kind of gadget, but playng with it I can't get the x/y inputs to work on the back panel (say with an lfo plugged in) and also Learn Key seems to be inoperative. Yes, I've read that part of the manual ;)

Hectic 🤯

Very interesting approach. Is the map art created by a human designer or is it the output of an algorithm. Reminds me of fractals.

Beatmap is awesome. I managed to make a Busdriver type of drum loop in seconds! By the way, how do you copy the pattern to the sequencer in Logic? I still haven’t worked that out yet.

I'm using ver 10.4 of your software and i have a question that i hope you or someone following you can answer. Every time i open up a project or template reason has to scan that folder before it can open them up. All folders in fact have to be scanned before they'll open. Template folders,refill folders,midi and wav folders, vst preset folders anything in a folder it has to scan before it will open it up. All of these folders have been scanned hundreds of times and most folders with the exception of my song folders have not been added to since i purchased the software. My work around thus far has been to open up any folders i think i may need to get into during that session and let it scan them all before i get started and leaving it open all day because if i exit out even momentarily i'll have to go thru this whole process again.. There have been times when i would be in the creative flow and open reason up to catch my ideas but by the time it was done scanning my song or templates folder the idea was gone. I've posted this query to your support line on several occasions as to a possible fix or is this just baked in but no one has answered back.

I finally got Reason to operate with Artist Mix. The only problem I'm having is that the faders not corresponding with the tracks. Cn you help me set this up?

Holy s*** 😮😳

Fantastic video / fantastic idea for a product / fantastic execution of that idea!!! :-) I'm a Reason Rack user with one quick question - - when I find a beat a like (with Beat Map and one of your drum instruments) - - can I now just drag that beat as a MIDI clip into my master DAW? Thanks - Pete Radd

Great Voice

Question - How do I get Beat Map to only play for a portion of my track (or edit it into an arrangement for only a portion). It is creating a loop I like, but I don't want it to play throughout the entire song. Can anyone help?

Please can we load vsti's into the Reason Rack plug in like we can with the stand alone. Many other products can load vst's inside their program whilst being used as a vst. Really messes up workflow shuttling between Reason and Cubase.

Noiccccceeeee
