    Drum Sequencer is a Player Rack Extension that can be added to any instrument device in Reason. With its set of powerful-yet-intuitive programming tools you’ll be knocking out drum beats faster than ever. With features such as repeats, probability and per-channel time resolution, the creative potential is endless! And the best of all - it adds fun to drum programming. Loads of fun!
    The ability to set individual speed and step count for each channel means you can go for polyrhythmic mayhem or simply create patterns that don’t sound repetitive after one play through. Unless that’s what you are after of course. Why not try to use the Drum Sequencer Player as a step sequencer for synths?
    Use Drum Sequencer the way that suits your creative flow best: to sequence all the drums for your project or as a blazingly fast starting point. If you wish you can dump your drum patterns to Reason’s main sequencer so you can finish your work there.
    00:00 - What is the Drum Sequencer?
    01:48 - Adjusting note velocity
    03:00 - Adding shuffle/swing for a house style beat
    03:49 - Patterns and how to Copy/Paste
    05:29 - Pattern variation using polyrhythms
    08:12 - Find inspiration through the random function
    08:56 - Humanize the beat with the slide function
    10:01 - Change the playback speed or direction of individual lanes
    11:15 - Adding probability and repeats
    16:00 - Using drum sequencer with VST-plugins (NI Battery)
    18:15 - Go even deeper by combining Drum Sequencer with other Players

    I don't understand why some producers still thinking Reason is a sort of toy... you guys are breaking the concept of DAW as a record machine with some MIDI tools, you are beyond all of the others in many aspects, and this new player is something! Thanx!

      Mano Bap I’ve heard 19-year old metal heads assert all synthesizers are toys. The fact is, “toy” defines not only all instruments but all sports equipment-if used recreationally. “Toy” is just a passive-aggressive euphemism used by someone who feels threatened by tools that achieve similar or novel results with less effort or a more ergonomic design.

Just been meddling inside the sequencer after watching this video, and it is so much more more liberating than using Redrum. Thanks for the video. Thanks for device, even if indirectly so, because it just taught me to have fun in a completely different way!

    this looks easier to use than the matrix sequencer.... but the matrix has more notes and octaves available. that matrix sequencer is so tiny.
    honestly i love what you can do with it. i love the fact that you don't have to click on every drum sample to program a beat... makes things alot faster like using an actual drum machine....
    i've always thought using a real drum machine was alot faster and easier than programming beats on a digital daw.
    but yeah this is pretty much a sequencer... i really like how fast you can put stuff in it too.
