Learn Scales & Chords Device Play - Reason - LearnReason.com 

Love the Scales & Chords in conjunction with the Dual Arpeggiator. Endless hours of fun!

Thank you, Matt, for your great tutorials!!! I am from Germany and so I really appreciate your clear and distinct pronouncation of your words.

I know a good deal of music theory and this is still quite helpful. I’m also happy for how a tool like this will help others who do not have much music theory be more creative. I strongly suggest that anyone interested in this tool google about music modes and emotions, this will give you more information on how to use modes to create emotional responses in your music. Not all minor keys are the same quality of sad, for example Phrygian is quite dark, sand thing for Major scales

Awsome! That's the best tutorial about Chords and Scales I've ever seen on RU-vid. Thanks, man. It was very helpful. Keep doing more great tutorials like that. Bye.

Hey man really glad you're back!!

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I can literally feel your enthusiasm about this powerful tool. And you let us share in the discovery. This way I absolutely understood how it works. Also, your mention of the write block, and how to use it to break through it, was an incredible help to me! I was already tempted to buy Cubase because it has chord tracks already built into the sequencer, but now I know I can save myself that expense. I just need Reason, nothing more. Thanks for this!

This has been a big help- many thanks for posting

Thanks for the vid. I learned several things about this awesome new feature!

Its so simple, but perfect! This will be my best friend in reason! lol Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

THAT'S AMAZING lol, I can first cheat, but then learn the different types of scales with this thing. I downloaded the trial version, and hope to fully upgrade from Reason 4 before the middle of August.

Oh man!!! This is so freakin' awesome!!! Thanks for the tip !

Thank you, this video was extremely helpful.

Thanks for this tutorials!

Aww man thanks I honestly did not know this existed in reason maan thanks

Matt you rock, dude!!

Definitely upgrading from 8. I'm getting ideas already.

Mind blown cant wait to upgrade

thanks for the help!!!

Thanks for this video!

AWESOME,THANKS!

Great ! Thanks !

your enthusiasm is infectious......love it!

Great Video!

Legend says he's still only playing one note

great service

Thanks!

Great vid!!!!!

Nice tutorial....

Right one time!!! Thanks for these reason 9 vids! Btw...will you be doing a vid on the Arpg.Player too?

What I would wish for is that you can lay down some chords in "track 1" and then you have something like Scales & Chords that can interpret what the chords are being played in track one to keep your notes in chord as you play to the other tracks. You could the let an ARP play to this device and the ARP would adjust to the chords being played so you then get movement in the ARP. Scaler sort of does this but the Reason MIDI issues limit it.

It's basically God Mode for chord progressions

Is it possible to make sus2 and sus4 chords with "scales & chords" ?

Hehe I felt the same way you did when I discovered this player. It's insane

Nice One ....

This is REVOLUTION of Music Right there. This is Amzing. for people like us who have not study music theory, this is Magna Carta

QUESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTION? So i'm using an Axiom Pro 49, and when i'm using scales and chords, it doesn't seem as if the notes on the device match the note being played on my computer. So after watching propellerheads tutorial, I did learn how to actually use this a little bit more. When I'm playing any note, and the key is set to C Maj for instance the key I press on my piano doesn't reflect on the device. If that makes any sense let me know, if not, i'll try and explain a bit more.

thats crazy!!!!

nice video

cool

So it can help learn music theory :)

I have reason 9 I wanna hook up my turntables and take a sample using my midi also mpk and add stuff etc how can I sample can you do video on sampling with turn table I have interface hooked up and all it's reading and everything I just wanna learn to sample and cut up better in 9 thanks

can you use it for neptune autotune synth voice to make harmonies

I wish they would of added the strum option like in Auto Theory

I wish it also arpeggiated chords and did rolls on chords too.

Your four bar lick in F dorian is actually in C minor.

great vid/but can you extend it a little and show how to record the alter button, thanx

Alles klar!

as you would to program two harmonic fields at the same time?

Cool vid... Thanks for the in depth tutorial. I just upgraded to Reason 9 today. I am excited! The funny thing about Scales and Chords is that... I was like...how do you play with 2 hands with this instrument? Then I thought about it... Well... the left hand is essentially the chord progression and the right hand is....wait for it... wait for it... typically the melody...lol... I felt so not smart... Meaning that I can use this tool for chord progression and my vocals for the melody....smh....lol... In either case, I hope you found that as funny as I did...In either case, cool vid and thanks for sharing your experience.

Can you send the alterations to track?

hey I got a little issue. whenever I use this player I click the filter notes option in order to learn the scale. BUT the notes I play on my Midi do not correspond with what my player is showing. the notes are completely different. how can I fix this issue? is it a problem with my midi settings?

I don't understand! In the final, on Dorian scale in F, you played ghost notes! But i realized that this dark keys no make part of Dorian, so no must be played! Im right?

Hey Matt when i'm playing with or without cords and scales using any piano when i strike a cord and hold the keys down for sustain it keeps coming out staccato no sustain can you help? or got any ideas?

so guys this scales and chords device is only available in reason 9 FULL and not Reason Essentials?

I have a big challenge with this maybe you can help me? I write a progression but some chords are maybe out of scale but still I want them to be there but the device corrects it :( Like I want Bm > A > G > F# but F# is automatically changed to F#m! Why is that have no ideas!

I dont know why and maybe this function does not work in the plugin format but when i play notes not in the scale even with filter notes on, it is still playing the notes and not filtering it out? Its not a huge deal but kind of bugs me for practice. Anybody else have this issue and why this could be happening?

Do you do online private lessons?

I just wish it had a rolling feature

how do I zoom in that close to my players and instruments? cause I am blind asa a bat haha.

You sound like George Clooney.

Good tool for non piano players who just want to add keyboards to there mix. But not really a great learning tool if it silences out your wrong notes. That's not how we learn really.

The musical illiteracy is so painful!!

you know on a real i love reason but im kinda tired of them making us by a rack extension that will be given to us pretty must free in the next upgrade. this is the same shit as auto theory (a rack extension i paid 50 bucks for) and to be honest auto theory may be better because you can do more than just chords you can do strums and things like that at different speeds and and note lengths etc. you are talking like this is the best thing since slice bread when reason already soaked money out of their users from auto theory which is better. now to people who never experienced auto theory gonna go wowee but i think they should at least sample it its the best.Reason is my favorite program but i really wish they stop making us buy shit twice
