Bleh! A keyboard player I am not. I copy/pasted the Marshall phrase and chose Trinoids for the voice. I had a listen to all of them and they’re all pretty bizarre. I chose the phrase “Behold” for C2, “We shape” for C3, “tools” for C4 and “us” for C5. “Behold” also had a loop set across the phrase “old.” Root keys were set and the samples saved then
imported into Reason. I played around with a few of the parameters in Reason like the filters and prepared to play a tune. Meh, I didn’t really do too well in the playing department and I’d agree with anyone that says this soundscape sounds ordinary.

I’m not sure if I did this assignment correct or not. For some reason (no pun intended) my four sounds wouldn’t appear on the keyboard as split octaves. They’d be layers, that I had to change by turning a little knob under the window in the NN-19, instead of being laid out side by side by octave on the keyboard. I was sure the sounds had to be laid out side by side so I’ve obviously messed

I’ve honestly only ever used Redrum in the past as the rest of Reason I couldn’t work out. This exercise seemed a little daunting to me and has helped fill in a few blanks with MIDI programming as in the past all I’ve ever done when I work with samplers (I’ve got SampleTank2) is to simply import a sound I recorded and trigger it from there without any root key settings or anything.

Really liked the soundscape, it seemed to have a nice form to it (Looks like those composition classes are paying off).
Yes indeed, extra cute, like smurf machines building houses :)
I liked it when suddenly everything died and a new part started playing. Gave me a good feeling. Is there anything abnormal (maybe purposely) with the bitrate of the sample?
