Reason file attached (requires Reason 8.3).

• Lock your controller to the Kong called "LOCK CONTROLLER".
• Load sounds and kits into the second Kong. All the initial sounds are from the Factory Sound Bank.
• Quantize settings can be changed for each drum by adjusting the Thor Step Sequencer settings.

This could all be avoided with a pair of Neil Peart MIDI Pants™

This is brilliant fun. Not sure why more folk haven't commented on this, cheers for that, so simple yet affective

I started a thread a while ago about this very topic. I asked if there was a way this could be done. Nobody answered though. I'll have to check this out to see if it accomplishes what I sought out to do. From your description, it looks like it does! I'll have to check it out right now!

Thanks for this :)

Can't test it, still on 7.

But I appreciate the work that must have gone into this.
Perhaps screen caps of the routing so others can create the setup in 7?

Yeah I remember discussing this with you in a different forum dioxide. ;)

So, does anybody have my free ReFill "CorrecTime" ? I cracked this mystery a few years ago. Nobody really cared much then either. :)

Anyway. Look for the refill. I'll post it here too when I can. Mine is MPC-inspired, has different kits and stuff, and IT ALSO HAS SWING.

peace!

Your site is down for repairs, so no. I don't have it.
Googling now.

Edit: Audiosex wants me to join a spam list to gain access, I think I'll pass. Only 17 days left to wait.

Ok thanks, look forward to trying it out. Your site is down for maintenance at the moment so will wait for a link.

Can't check at the moment but it is basically Kong A (trigger) > Thor Step Sequencer > Kong B (sounds). You need to set up the Mod Matrix in Thor but I'm sure you'll figure it out.

I'll try and post a .cmb when I can, I'm pretty sure it will all fit in a Combinator.

I tried to tackle this some time ago but I couldn't get note input times to snap to nearest subdivisions of time.

I recall trying to do that using everything available in stock Reason that has a time-based mechanic, like the step sequencer, but I ultimately failed.
I'll have to look into what's happening with this design to better understand where I went wrong in my attempts.

I've added a Combi patch to the original post. I can't guarantee it will work but it should as it is all native devices.

hmmm...very interesting, been looking for something like this quite long. so to set the "live quantize" to 1 bar i'd have to set thor 1 sync at the bottom to 4/4. right? hmmm...is still can play "off beat" when letting the song play... why?
