REDRUM MULTI-OUT PART II
Let's get these parts on the sequencer:
Many ways to do this, but this is how I do it, and I'm a little OCD about this.
First, some housekeeping.
1. Start by highlighting all the Redrum's mixer channels, hovering on the name of the first channel, righ-click, then rename. I called it Redrum 1, and after you hit enter you'll notice the other tracks auto-sequencing the numbers.
2. Highlight tracks 2-10, right click, and select "Create Track".
3. For whatever reason, the tracks get created in a weird order, but you can manually drag them into order like how I did in step 4.

5. Rename each track to its actual redrum instrument type.
6. Now what I like to do next is program some type of beat on each redrum channel. It doesn't have to be well thought out, in fact sometimes I just enter something temporary on the first beat of each pattern. The point is that we want each of the 10 channels to have some sort of note data. Once I'm done I will then drag the entire pattern to the LAST channel on the arrange page.
7. Now right click on the midi region, and scroll down to "separate note by pitch".

8. You'll now get an exploded view of all 10 channels beneath your original empty tracks. But if we use these tracks, solo and mute will not work because they are not connected to each aux track.
9. So we will select all these regions and drag them up to our original tracks. Each track name will correspond to what's been exported in each midi region. You can delete tracks 11-20.
10. Now we want to rename each region to reflect the name of the track, so right click on the regions and select "Name regions by track".
11. Now that we have auto-created regions for each Redrum channel, we can go about editing and arranging each part visually.

And you will never have to do this again because you will save this in your template.
You don't have to do this if you prefer to arrange everything in Redrum. I do it this way because I want to see what I am working with.
