Reason Redrum as 8-step sequencer 

Wow! this is amazing! i've been looking at lots of videos of the project mix i/o and most of them are just showing off vegas mode, but this is the best video showing what this unit can do! I just picked up a ProjectMix of my own on ebay today =)

Dude, I just picked up one of these units and I'm freaking out! I can't believe the power that is within this thing. I'm really glad I spent the $1000, well worth every penny. We will be in touch!

I like how the rhythm changes when the cymbals faded in!!

Cheers man. It really is ideal for most DAWs, esp. Reason and Ableton. Glad you enjoyed!

Nice demo dude. I've never thought of using redrum in this way.

It's M-Audio's ProjectMix IO - but for this purpose any motorised fader surface would do, e.g. Behringer's very cheap BCF2000. Glad you liked!

@nuelogic Cheers mate. I just set up redrum with a load of identical samples (sawtooths I think), created a pattern which ran through the 8 steps in sequence, and used the faders (pre-configured in Reason anyway) to alter the pitch or amplitude (by hitting the Flip button). Unfortunately no clever way I can think of do this in Ableton (which I now user more often) although I believe that there is now a step sequencer available via Max for Live, which you might be able to MIDIfy. Good luck!

Very nice use of the control surface!

@FreedomBeats Agreed mate. Thought about this: if you just want to use the faders then you might be able to get away with using Behringer's BCF2000. But I would really like to use the PMI/O to process live inputs via Ableton as well...

Hi Kabel, soz for delay. #1 They're not so much grid points as redrum playing the same sample across all 8 drum pads in order: swapping to fader layout enabled me sample to tune each pad (i.e. adjust the pitch). Make sense? No setup required: luckily the mapping was correct to do this. #2: you'll need to clarify this one I'm afraid (if my description above hasn't helped!) The distorted sound was playing a matrix pattern in 7/8 time whilst all the others were straight 4/4. And thanks!

Could this be done w/just Pro Tools? Or is Redrum necessary ? Great work!

hi thanks for u chanel. dou u know, how works de quality sounds of microkorg sinth whit project mix and reason like sequezier? thanks u

Well, you can record 8 channels of audio SIMULTANEOUSLY. Don't forget this is a controller so it emulates the virtual mixer in your DAW (Ableton, Logic, whatever). You can flip from Channels 1-8 to 9-16 etc at the touch of a button.

Great video mate! I would like to know how you're using this unit as a sequencer? I also have project mix i/o which i'm using with ableton. Is there anyway I can use it a sequencer with ableton?

2 software specific questions: #1 how did u get the pitch workin at minute 1:10f ? i know how to pitch a sample in redrum but i dont not know u could define the pitch for seperate grid points differently. #2 how did u change the pattern length for 1 sample, while the others keep playing onbeat. very nice work btw. thx, Kabelstapler

Sounds like Underworld. Good stuff man.

wow...I love Reason. nice work

This is done automatically by Reason. The sliders I push control faders on the various instruments I flick between.

Thanks mate. And I'm afraid I can't answer this one as I'ev never used PT although I suspect it will work in that the ProjectMix does have a Pro Tools mode so something similar could probably be done.

Wow, man. Really terrific stuff. I wish I knew Reason better so I could turn my project mix into a sequencer...hmmmm.....

@PeterCatLovesYou Ye the Behringer would do the job. And ye this with ableton live would be ace! Im thinking of getting ones of these to go with ableton and cubase, but i've heard the pre ams arnt too good....

Thanks man. Funnily enough pretty basic patches but glad you liked.

Very nice, after seeing this makes me want to try myself :] - Then whack in my Kaosillator, Mini KP and Monotron as send effects and you've got a cool live performance machine lined up! PROPELLHEADS FTW!

Basically an infinite number, but 8 at any time. (You press the bank select buttons to get to the next/previous channels.)

question: how do you set project mix i/o faders into a flying faders.. like the ones on the website.. :) heheh!! thanks! tim

can i record more than 8 channels with the project mix i/o on sonar 7 (for example) ??

I wonder if Yamaha 01X can do this as well as ProjectMix

How much is the desk?

pretty nice

Wow, great use of hardware and samples man! That does not have the "Reason Sound" at all.

really decent mate, would be class live aswell. Be a bit of a blag taking that though, wouldnt want it to get damaged

Yup, controlling ALL parameters through surface.

Wow, peterkat, what a public service - 14500 views! Not into the techy details really but great Tan Dream/Klaus Schulze/Aphex Twin loop.

Erm, I guess so, but read the manufacturer's specs...

so right there are you using mor than 8 channels?

That is really original and fun to watch ! ps: Since you can do all that, can it also make coffee ?? :-) Just kidding... It's a cool video.

Que?

How I would love me some protools :(

I don't understand that whole "reason sound" talk. I've made things with reason people wouldn't guess was made with reason. Obviously if you use all the pre-sets and loops that come with it.. but who does?!

nice 1

Nice weird freaking tune :)
