MATRIX PATTERN SEQUENCER

301

Setting Pattern Length

You may want to make settings for Pattern length, i.e. the number of steps the pattern

should play before repeating:

D The “Steps” spin controls are used to set the number of steps you wish

the pattern to play.

The range is 1 to 32. You can always extend the number of steps at a later stage,

as this will merely add empty steps at the end of the original pattern. You could

also make it shorter, but that would (obviously) mean that the steps you remove

won’t play back. The steps you remove aren’t erased though, if you set the step

number back again, anything recorded in the previously removed step locations

will be played back.

Using Tied Notes

If you activate “Tie” to the left of the Gate pattern window, you can create longer

notes (eighth notes, quarter notes etc.). A quick way to draw tied gates is to hold

down [Shift] when you input the gate values.

Entering tied gate values.

D Each step that has one tied gate value will be twice the length compared

to a normal step.

Tied gate steps are indicated by being twice as wide in the pattern window.

D If two or more notes of the same pitch are tied together, the result will

be even longer notes.

Tied notes are also essential if you want to create typical TB-303 “Acid”-type lead

lines - see page 303.

Setting Pattern Resolution

Matrix always follows the tempo setting on the transport panel, but you can also make

Matrix play in different tempo “resolutions” in relation to the tempo setting.

Pattern Shuffle

Shuffle is a rhythmic feature, that gives the music a more or less pronounced swing

feel. It works by delaying all sixteenth notes that fall in between the eighth notes.

Straight sixteenth note pattern (viewed in the sequencer).

The same sixteenth note pattern with shuffle applied.

In Reason, you can activate or deactivate shuffle individually for each pattern in a pat-

tern device. However, the amount of shuffle is set globally with the Global Shuffle

control in the ReGroove Mixer. The ReGroove Mixer is described in the Operation

Manual chapter of the same name.

The Shuffle on/off switch in Matrix and the Pattern Shuffle control on the transport panel.

Pattern Mute

If you deactivate the “Pattern” button above the Pattern select buttons, the pattern

playback will be muted, starting at the next downbeat (exactly as if you had selected

an empty (silent) pattern). For example, this can be used for bringing different pattern

devices in and out of the mix during playback.

If you mute the Matrix track in the sequencer, it is muted instantly and the Mute indica-

tor lights up on the panel. Note that all tracks connected to the Matrix must be muted

for this to work.
