THE REGROOVE MIXER
98
Introduction
The ReGroove Mixer combines all the benefits of quantization, shuffle, and groove
templates into a single integrated environment, giving you real-time creative control
over the feel and timing of individual note lanes. The ReGroove Mixer, which extends
from the top of the Transport Panel (and thus appears in either the rack or the se-
quencer), puts 32 channels of interactive groove control at your fingertips.
If you're familiar with mixing, you're already well on your way toward understanding the
ReGroove Mixer. Think of it as a mixer with 32 busses but, instead of these busses
modifying the volume of the input tracks, they modify the feel (or groove) of the input
tracks. You can route any track or note lane to one of ReGroove's 32 channels, and
that track's feel and timing are modified, in real-time, by the channel's settings. Each
ReGroove channel can use its own groove template or shuffle amount. In addition,
each channel can slide notes forward or backward in time, allowing you to put certain
tracks slightly ahead or behind the beat, which greatly alters the feel of your music.
ReGroove basics
When working with grooves, you'll make use of three interacting sections within Rea-
son's interface:
• First, in the Sequencer, each note lane can be assigned to any of ReGroove's 32
channels. You assign a note lane to a groove channel by selecting it with the Se-
lect Groove pop-up in each note lane.
• Second is the ReGroove Mixer, which contains both global groove settings and
channel-specific ones. This is described on the following pages.
• Finally, there's the Groove Settings section of the Tool Window, which is ac-
cessed by clicking a ReGroove channel's Edit button. Groove Settings allow you
to set the intensity of various groove patch parameters. This is also where you save
your own ReGroove patches. See page 102.
The ReGroove Mixer
Open the ReGroove Mixer (in the main window or in the detached sequencer win-
dow) by clicking the ReGroove Mixer button in the Transport Panel.
The ReGroove mixer is divided into two sections. On the left are the Global parame-
ters, and on the right are the Channel parameters.
Global parameters
These parameters operate globally, rather than channel-by-channel.
Channel Banks
The ReGroove mixer consists of 32 channels, grouped into 4 banks (labeled A
through D). Click a Channel Bank button to see and edit its corresponding bank of 8
channels.
