I'm just starting out on reason, and so far, Ive got the mixer, rex, scream 4 and a matrix in the rack. I'm going through this tutorial to learn how to use it, but when I hit the run button, I don't hear any sound (clicks, beeps, whatever you want to call it).
ya so simple example would be - once you have created your mixer, then create a synth eg Malstorm and then create the matrix after that which will link it automatically, then create your pattern on the matrix with the velocities and you should be getting sum sounds out of it
I was going to make a quick example for you but I ended up getting distracted by other shit so ya know !!!
Aye ...
If you right click on an instrument and select create > matrix ...
It should automatically wire it up to the gate and cv ports on the back of the instrument.
[Hold shift key down when creating something new if you don´t want it to automatically wire itself !]
Once you´ve added the matrix to your prefered instrument or device ...
and drawn in a couple of patterns using the pattern selector ...
Go to the matrix in the sequencer window and right click and select "Create Pattern Lane" to add it to the automation.
Now add the patterns to the track either by right clicking on the matrix inside the rack and selecting "Copy Pattern To Track" or by using the draw tool on the Sequencer window. `Keyboard shortcut for Draw tool is "W".
Ok so next you can change the pattern on a track by using the select tool "Q" ...
By double clicking on the pattern you want to change and selecting the pattern from the menu that pops up.
I´m off on me tod, So that´ll be enough ranting for now !
You can use the matrix to control various instruments and fx modules in numerous amounts of ways by routing the small yellow cv cables to various cv ports on the back panel !
eZ !
