How to create awesome basslines FAST | Bassline Generator 1.1

[@quarmat]

21-something years ago a friend invited me to his house to show me "the new ReBirth thingy". it was one of the biggest WOWs of my life. After all these years of exploring Reason far and wide, a video of a minor update to a single device still manages to make me say WOW and I have to force myself to watch the video to the end, because the urge to launch Reason and make music is too strong.

[@profyle766]

WOW....Rebirth 20+ years, daamn we getting old!! 🤣🤣

[@ramansvami4981]

What do you think he At the 7 minute hi play live in midi controller or is it automatically the sampler plays vocal?

[@VTOLKits]

@@ramansvami4981 The Bassline Generator plays the choped (sliced) vocal positions in Mimic-Sampler.

[@CXtheproducer1]

I remember my MC showed me Reason in 2004 and I said wow and I started using it from then as well.

[@courtlaw1]

This was a masterclass and we got it for free. Small edit OMG, the shifting CV has blown my mind. I can use this to easily create instrument solos.

[@PaulOrtiz]

Broooo the Bassline Generator + Mimic Slicer tip was dope. Very cool.

[@tenderbranson4657]

Even though i "only" use the rack, it is still my favorite VST device... i use it in every song on multiple tracks, for melody ideas as well as actual instruments and effect processing. I have to commend the excellent videos of Ryan. Funny and full of interesting ideas. I have the urge to immediatly get producing right after watching one of these ...

[@tinnitusuk]

This is brilliant. Thank you for developing and extending existing devices.

[@rjbush7955]

I'm seriously impressed with BLG. Its genius dropping it on Mimic and a drum loop. Who needs an MPC or Maschine now...

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Hopefully Reason Studios lets that Bassist they trapped inside the Player out for a lunch break every now and again!! Thanks Ryan! Awesome guide for the new update!

[@strictly2prohibit]

And this video is so epic on so many levels. The way you explain everything is so precise and your knowledge on reason and music is just so deep and never ending! Talk about experienced!

[@courtlaw1]

This update is a game changer. I have been using this with the update for a few hours now and revisiting many of my past songs. Thank you Reason Studios!!

[@ReasonStudios]

Great to hear!!

[@mecd4167]

Shift CV is cool, glad that you guys are finally getting some balls and adding tweakability to unexpected parameters just like Bitwig does it. Let's keep it going.

[@jazzsong8566]

Awesome, Ryan. You guys are always creating tools in a cool daemonic way. It’s the best way to create music and, above all, to break one’s logic and be able to make new rules 😂💚🔥

[@charleswheeler3418]

YOU ARE CURRENTLY THE ULTIMATE REASON GURU ON REASON TUTORIALS - THANKS DUDE.

[@PrimaudiaRecord]

The update looks great, as does the video, but it's when you pulled the guitar out that you really grabbed my attention.

[@jordimoraguesmassanet1179]

Great video as always, Ryan. I'm not really sold on the players but, man, your presentation is always so inspiring.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

You can also use the Random CV Out on the BLG connected to the Shift CV In for a more random repeated pattern.

[@dustintheblacklight]

Cool device and very inspirational tutorial video, Ryan. I like the way how you promote more devices and not just the Bassline generator.

[@SyncrisisVideos]

That fill trick at the end is kind of like performing your own variations, really cool.

[@ragingoracle6239]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Ryan explained "Minorness" to a degree! Excellent update.. So good.. So good.. Will add this to the beta testing!!

[@nikolafeve]

Ryan is the best as usual

[@Round1music]

Golden Teacher ay Ryan 🤔😁

[@R303blue]

What a great update. Having recently picked up Robotic Bean's Euclidian Rhythm Generator (not the player) and TM-1, I can see some of the influences with the shift and root note CVs. The A/B bank opens opens up even more banks (C, D, etc.) in the future too, so nice expansion option. This will be fun.

[@kronweed]

As a person who uses this device quite a bit, I feel like they made this update just for me!

[@nutterwithbutter]

so glad i cashed in my reason points for this!

[@amarbouchibane6780]

@Ryan I did the math. 16,384 bass line combinations are possible with the A & B banks.😄

[@DeeJayRel]

My mind is officially blown!!!!!! - Thanks for sharing this

[@frankyoualot]

7:03 omgosh, so fun, you're so good at helping us "Have Fun!"

[@javidmusicparty]

dope. thank you Ryan!

[@DeejayAfro]

the part where you talk about beat juggling with BLG, I used it few weeks ago on a song I released hahahaha !!! it's funny how I had this crazy Idea the same way !!! but I think it's normal with a lot of years using Reason, we develop a certain way of doing things differently !!!

[@hmhmusic4529]

I must admit I haven't been a big fan of using the cv cabling suctions. But after this video, you have finally convinced me to experiment more with this function. Which I see I'm actually limiting my creative possibilities. Thank you Sir for helping me see the light...lol.

[@himdownstairsmusik]

Geez Ryan that 1st beat was magic and you just did in one video what Carl was trying to do in 2 separate videos (sample scratching)

[@paulweyer4339]

Love that pad! I worry that the "B bank" doesn't present enough of a unique difference for users to know when they should use it. I get that extending the A bank patterns would mess with the resolution of the pattern selection grid, but unless I have a reason to select bank B, it feels a bit arbitrary. Either way, love player devices in general and happy bassline generator is getting love.

[@bluesyDude]

I'm so confused. Wonderful video but I'm gonna need to slow this way down and watch a gazillion times. Thanks, Ryan.

[@andrewgreatorexmusic]

Some nice touches added to 1.1. Keep up the good work Reason Studios.

[@SyncrisisVideos]

Masterful upload

[@SynthStreet]

Yes! 👏👏 Those are some features i really wanted, awesome... Thank you RS! 😁👍

[@Kaitain]

"We can get weird, and by weird I mean: fun". Reason in a nutshell!

[@monkeyplusplus]

Been using that mimic trick since it first came out! The syncopated rhythms are way too fun to leave to just bass instruments

[@roy4286]

Thanks for reminding me to do that more often .

[@Dose808]

Love the Golden Teacher patch!

[@ashleyprincewashington2130]

Another fantastic video long live reason the most revolutionary DAW..THE FUTURE IS NOW WITH THIS PROGRAM 💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥

[@LoneGRoEnt]

These tutorials blow my mind every time. Mad Props

[@anzatzi]

Always great vibes, Ryan!

[@anzatzi]

I would be higher on this if the presets were better. Very random!

[@TheBelse]

Add lock individual notes in the sequence ..and we can randomise the rest ...and am i missing where the rotate pattern left and right is ? ....Add that as well. Thanks for the video ..big love.

[@kingpinronin4301]

Totally going to use that segment of you doing the Acapella of the marimbas and the claps as a sample 😂👍🏾 hope you don't mind

[@vegardyrnes1793]

I´m a Reaper user, but I love Reason. It is a beautiful program and very inspiring to work with! GO SWEDEN!!💓

[@strictly2prohibit]

You knew you'd get AB's one day! 😛

[@Caelo_music]

Excellent tutorial 🎉

[@SMEL]

If I had to only choose one daw... Yeap, Reason Studios ❤️

[@roy4286]

I just got the update today . Looking forward to videos on the updates.

[@griffithday]

good work guys - love it

[@robertgrant721]

Ryan, another great video. Thanks! Would love to see the option for Chord Numbers as well as names in the sequencer. So we can experiment with classic sequences with a twist. Currently we have to do some work to convert from names to numbers if we want to work that way.

[@sikdermahmud3444]

Buying now. Too good to not to have in the rack. Thanks Ryan.

[@jerzboybeats]

I’m just now getting back into Reasons. I hate that I stepped away from reasons now I’m playing catch-up. Good to be back.

[@ReasonStudios]

welcome back!!

[@lenglain]

Call it "Reasons" one more time.

[@jerzboybeats]

@@lenglain Reasons one last time. 😂😂😂. Reason you feel better 👍🏾

[@terra_h4429]

Will there be a Friktion device but for brass instruments?

[@tvniklas]

Great tutorial 🎉 Can you guide me into a nice classic Reggea bassline?

Merci Ryan, super tutoriel, comme d'habitude!

[@ragingoracle6239]

And where can I get more REX files like the ones Ryan has?.. Love those things, they are so awesome!!

[@alvinblack1076]

Just badass awesome!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Hmmmmm 8:04 that's a cool effect.

[@NicolasKaniak]

another feature that could be adde would be to have the root note locked when changing presets

[@estevecorbera]

Ohh!! Great video, great tutorial, graets ideas!!

[@amulpatel]

fantastic ideas and inspiration… 😊

[@usedusermoser]

Phew mind blown 🤯 Ryan!! 🎉 ❤ Reason

[@dwaynemusik]

This can also be used for melodies as well because baselines most of the time are just melodies in a lower register

[@sacitp]

YOU ARE A VERY CUTE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN, WE LOVE YOU.

[@europlane77]

OMG Ryan. Please please share that pad. It is so much Jan Hammer style. Especially the last chord.

[@grymmjack]

Awesome video.

[@beatdummysupadave]

Thank You Soooo Much 🙏🏾

Damnit. This video is so fire!!!

[@robtronik]

Good stuff!

[@darrenross9168]

Nice!

[@Mad_ManX]

Thanks Ryan great heads up ! as always

[@progstermusic]

Great video, and a powerful product! But, where is the Tonality (chord) CV input??

[@1992KENN]

Is that the BDS PP-31 Analyzer in the background? I keep eyeing it.

[@roy4286]

Thanks for all your great tutorials. I wish the could put a Cv ot to Cv i button on the front instead of having to do all that cable routing. Also for all the people who are like me a litte visually inpaired . You can use a long hdmi cable and link to your big screen tv and l just discovered Windows magnifier in the Google extentions thst will help you read sll the fine print details on he computer screen. Good for the fine print in Daws and and anything else. They are all Free to use. also uee the Speak It extention to read wed text to me.

[@mattzimmerman5967]

I keep meaning to nab this when it is on sale but keep forgetting.

[@sinnerfire]

Would be amazing to see a drum and bass tutorial with this re, I bought it and hardly use it as I make dnb and found it really difficult to use 😢

[@BigPharmaBeatmaker]

Ryan is hard worker. Love his tutorials.

[@ramansvami4981]

At the 7 minute you play live in midi controller or is it automatically the sampler plays vocal? Thanks!

[@TheMorMor]

The bassline generator is triggering Mimic to play the vocal chops. No human interaction required.

[@RyanHarlin]

Yeah Henrik is right with his comment. The sample slices are being triggered by Bassline Generator. What I'm doing with the controller is that I've assigned my two faders on the keyboard to control the two knobs on the combinator. Those knobs control two different parameters. One parameter is the Roll fader on The Echo delay effect and the other parameter is the Root Note setting on Bassline Generator. By adjusting the root note of Bassline Generator, I'm offsetting what notes (and therefore what sample slices) are being triggered on the Mimic sampler. Hope some of that makes sense!

[@dschmid2]

What about the first lush combinator pattern you used in the video? It killed me! Is it available somewhere?

[@marisovaru]

I'm unsure about the process of assembling this 'Combinator' to extend a 7-minute video to 8 minutes. Could you provide a detailed, step-by-step explanation, or share a link to access this 'Combinator'?

[@amazonbeat]

As atualizações deveriam ocorrer nos devices mais antigos também para q fiquem melhores...

[@Bomtoi]

Subtractor MPE!

[@ramansvami4981]

In the 7 minute video, in the mimic sampler plugin, you have "init path" preset, where can I download it?

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Bassline generater is good but I have never had any problems making basslines in Reason, it's very very easy for Me and always has been. EDIT Ryan makes Me want to buy it.

[@Bomtoi]

Good for you. Not so easy for me.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@Bomtoi Ok well keep an eye on Reasons website for a sale on devices you want.

[@kenwafu5526]

Hi I wonder if we can use reason players such as scales& chords or quad note generator, to play Halion 7 samples

[@_andreypetr_]

Congratulations!

[@dariosugarriva3803]

Hi Rayan, is it possible to save personal patches with bassline? Thank you

[@jackbradyclancy]

ur dope man

[@WunHungLo99]

The restriction of V1 was no easy movement on chords. V2 doesn't really solve it unless you are using a chord generator. I want to input a chord/root sequence independently so it can follow ANY music I make.

[@youtubegrim5769]

Do I get this update for my Bassline Generator running in Reason 11 Suite? Or is this an exclusive Reason+ Update??

[@whoknows6794]

It`s an exclusive BLG update

[@JoJo_makes_music]

Absolutely love this plug in but when are we getting full M1 support for the VST version? I love using it in Ableton and can’t in native M1 mode. 🤨

[@JuanManzanoAmor]

have you solve this problem?

[@JuanManzanoAmor]

are you using bassline generator for ableton? which version are you using?

[@soundboy605]

I have just updated reason and I did not see the a and B button within the bassline generator when is this release out please ?

[@RyanHarlin]

It's already out but you need to update the device itself, either on your account page on the site or via the Reason+ Companion app.

[@soundboy605]

@@RyanHarlin and I love your videos thank you!

[@JackPhillips-bb8ok]

Thanks for the video Ryan. Quick question - what keyboard controller are you using? I’m looking for one now. Thanks

[@ReasonStudios]

Hey Jack! I'm using the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 right now. It's pretty new to me but I'm happy with it so far. I like a springy "synth action" keyboard, not a weighted piano feel and this one has that. Plus its pads are responsive in the way I like too. So far so good! Good luck in your search! /ryan

[@JackPhillips-bb8ok]

@@ReasonStudios Thanks for the quick response Ryan. Keep up the great work

[@Bomtoi]

It's there! And it's 20 minutes long! Fiesta!

ok, how i can drag and drop my bass pattern from bass generator to DAW?
