How do i get midi from Bassline Generator to send to a new channel with a diff vst like Juno? I've selected MIDI from "Reason Rack" and in the second drop down where it says Pre FX and Post FX, it doesn't have a "Reason Rack" option for me to select. Thank you!!!

@@OscarUnderdog Yes, i'm using the Reason VST Rack in one channel, but when I go to the new midi channel there isn't the second "Reason Rack" option in the drop down. It just says Pre FX and Post FX. Am I missing something with the way the Bassline Generator is routed in the back of Reason?! Is there a missing step where I have to route the output into a combinator or something?

Does it make a difference whether I'm using the Reason+ subscription or if I've purchased the Reason 12 for the full price? I just paid for an annual subscription. Do I need to purchase Reason 12 at full price to unlock this feature?

@@OscarUnderdog Great video. I have been struggling for a number of hours trying to get this to work with the Ableton instruments (Anxious Woofer, a few others), Is this possible using the same technique? Similar to the above question, when I do the routing I don't have the Reason Rack option as the second dropdown. Unfortunately, also a newbie for Ableton. I've selected Reason Rack from the AU plugins. Thanks. Brian

Hey Oskar from Underdog - I've been making music for over 20 years now, very unsuccessfully I must say but with a lot of passion. I must have watched years' worth of tutorials by now mainly because it gives me the great illusion of being as good as you guys teaching us as after all it's easy straightforward when you do it. Having become a pro in tutorial watching I can confirm that you're doing e pretty f....ing respectable job with your vids. So, bottom line all this text for saying thank you and keep on publishing so that in my next life I can spend some of my 20ies and 30ies playing my own techno bangers in clubs around the globe - hopefully before we manage to burn down or suffocate this planet, but I'm diverting from the topic :-D. Cheers!

Hey! Just upgraded from Reason 11 to 12 including a few Addons as the bassline gen. Have to prepare for some testing in two weeks but afterwards I´ll be so happy to play around with these tools. Can´t wait! Thanks for your inspirational clip.

this was really inspiring...for someone who cannot play an instrument, this seems like a great way to churn out ideas you can build off. pretty sure im going to have to get this plugin...ugh. lol.

thank you Jhony Sin your review is awesome !! we wait for your new film

Great tutorial but I'm still coming back here just to see your dance moves :) Thank you :)

Top dancer!! and super inspiring video!!

This is a great idea. I’ve used Reason since version 3 but never loved it as a standalone DAW. Always had it rewired into Ableton or Pro Tools. Never thought of using the plugin version for it’s sequencers. I have a couple of hardware sequencers (very spoiled in that regard) but even though I’m alright on keys, sequencers like what Reason has generates so many more ideas

One cool sequencer that is free if Reason is out of your price point is Stochas, which has a lot of power on being probabilistic, meaning you can make it a % chance for it to play the note.

Another Excellent video.

Thank you so much for this discovery!

Oh boy... now I want Reason :) great video Oscar!

very clear tutorial as usual, thnx!

Good job. Very informative.

Great video - and very nicely presented. Reason's Players are amazing. IMO, Reason's biggest selling point. The Quad Note Generator, for instance, is a noodler's dream. The flexibility to connect just about anything to these various players blows the whole thing so wide that you might never get beyond one amazing idea - this happens to me all the time. Reason just does stuff and off I go on some new unexpected musical adventure. And I'm not into EDM - my thing is ambient chill (like Wavestate's slowly evolving, dreamy, syncopated sounds). Reason+ with its suite of Players has answered my prayers. I agree - Reason Studios need to push these Players much more - and hopefully develop the possibilities for auto-generated music and beats even further. It's addictive.

Thank you for those kind words.

Thanks for sharing the sequencing ideas…. Cadence with cord generation especially. I never thought of using scales&chords to correct the output of step sequencers following a chord progression. I always thought of it as correcting live manual recordings but I hated the one in Reason because it omits notes that define the character of certain modes. What you’ve demonstrated might be the best application for using scales&chords in Reason. I’ll be sure to plug your video in my comments during their next livestream.

Love your lessons man. As a guitar player that dabbles in Reason, these are brilliant.

Nice explanation Johnny Sin 👍

Hello Oskar 👋... I started producing music with Reason and I loved the Matrix Pattern Sequencer even then. At some point I switched to Logic Pro X and when I heard that Reason instruments and effects can be used as a plugin as well as all MIDI players, I had to think simply upgrade the old license and love having this opportunity for creativity. Although Logic also has a very good step sequencer, the players in the Reason range are ingenious tools for quick results.

Good stuff man

This vid has got me really excited. I love creating music but I tend to program or bang keys until I get something I want. I'm shy of using Max for Live as I have had so many experiences of crashing projects when used. I've got some stalled projects where this can get me going again. I've seen Stochas mentioned in the comments. Are there any recommendations for VST3 sequencers that work in the same way as the Reason example? I particularly like the idea of influencing between on and off beat play. Chord and scale control would be a bonus.

I really wish theyd put more routings on the back to allow external patterns to influence the bassline

I think your Vlisco Acoustic Panels are very original. I wonder how you came up with that. This is of course an unusual use of these beautiful designs.

Is it possible to create several patterns and then "save" each one in a separate clip in the session view, to use them as loops? You could register them in the arrangement view and then make your clips but I was wondering if there's an easier way.

@@ReasonStudios So Bass line Generator cannot be bought as one plugin/insturment only?

Hi, I bought Reason+ on the strength of this tutorial, and I'm loving the Bassline Generator plug-in in Ableton. I am new to using Ableton and am working through tutorials (Production Music Live and also Oscar's brilliant 'Foundations' course. I am having a problem with Baseline Generator Plug-in. If I find a bassline I like, I arm a track, hit record and then it records in Ableton, as in this tutorial. However, later on in the song I want to bring in a slight variation of the baseline. I copy it to a second channel in Reason, create the variation, and record using Ableton. The problem I am having is that, even though I am recording to a different MIDI channel in Ableton (to where the original baseline was recorded), it is overwriting the original baseline, meaning that after recording the second one I now have two baselines that are exactly the same and that are both the new variation. The original bassline that I recorded is gone in Ableton, replaced by this new variation. Can anyone explain why this has happened and how I can avoid this so that I can record multiple variations of the same basslines (using Reason Baseline Generator) in Ableton without them overwriting each other? Much appreciated, and sorry if this is confusing.

Is there any similar VST to this sequencer?

Just what i needed, Thanks. Learning a lot in this chanel. Also im from latin america and my english its not advanced but i can understand everything!

after watching the Reason Channel on this, its not bad, but the biggest issue for me is that it only has 128 on and 128 offbeat patterns (which u can alter almost infinitely) I have a better option: Using an independent sequencer (I LOVE Hy-Plugins HySeq32 vst, which is free and has a random option, which makes literally infinite basslines. Also, it has midi controls which u can assign to the CC of ur synth to further sculpt the sound dynamically, say to a filter or to some effects. It's way better if u ask me, and u can use it in reason, or in ur fav DAW. EDIT: there's two versions of HYSEQ32, one is free one is paid. both are incredible vst sequencers. the free version is almost beyond perfect for basslines because its ur bass line doesn't need to be *that* involved, but still, HYSEQ32 gives u MORE than this Reason basslines generator.
