I'm also wondering if the delay time could be automated using the sequencer or an LFO from a subtractor. I guess that might cause some ugly artifacts, though.

Call me old school, but if you want it to sound like a machine use a machine, if you want it to sound like a drummer use a drummer. Sean
From: sven on 9 Oct 2005 16:30 well, I would, but drummers who can actually play a groove seem to be in short supply and really busy around here unfortunetly :(

Send the pattern to the sequencer track (right click over redrum module and click "Send pattren to track."), set the quantise level to 64th beats and move the snares 1 or 2 64ths forward. That should do the job. Luck, sven(a)twinoaks.org wrote: > Hi, I've programmed several tracks drum/synth backing tracks for my > band using Reason 2.5.
