The Dual Arpeggio Player: Music in Motion

[@andrewwowk9385]

As someone who really loves tinkering with music creation but basically no formal training and very basic music theory understanding, having this kind of accessibility and instant creativity is just amazing.

[@novapolicelee]

😮

[@whoddaya]

You NEED to release all of your songs, guys, come on. I'd even pay for a properllerhead playlist for all songs you've made in your tutorials since the beginning of time. Please, do consider! And my jaw is currently dropped at the potential for music hobbyists like me. This is insane. Love, love, love the players!

[@elowine]

Ye it's not like they own a music sharing website ... oh wait

[@XimenDinforJesus]

+1 on wanting your music! Please @propellerhead, give us an album!

[@TenThumbsProductions]

I have mostly used reason to record live audio, guitar, bass, ukulele, vocals, and as a drum machine to build around these things. I am just getting into these players and I really have to give it to you guys, the only limitation is creativity.

[@ShelLuser]

I've said this so many times, and I keep saying it... Reason is all about good sounds first and foremost. They give you the tools to "do" stuff, this is no exception, and that's what makes Reason so great. In fact.. apologies guys but to me this is also what makes Reason so perfect in combination with Live (my other favorite DAW). Both have a completely different workflow and yet they can really match... Reason is all about awesome sounds whereas Live is all about making things 'work', sometimes on a more technical level (cough, Max for Live, cough). Add these two together and you got magic in your hands. I am honestly SO glad that I chose for Reason back when I did and stuck with it instead of going Komplete. Nothing bad about Komplete, but in my opinion they "can't touch this". Because Reason doesn't only give you great sounds (like Komplete), they _also_ give you all the tools you need to make those sounds on your own. This is yet another perfect example.

[@jonsteen]

Dropping so much knowledge in 13 minutes. Thanks! Love these videos.

[@Denise_Isaac]

Big thanks for this tutorial on the Dual Arpeggio Player in Reason 12! Even though I’ve never had professional piano lessons, your guide has been a game-changer for me. Your clear instructions have made a huge difference in my compositions. Keep up the great work!

[@atashbeats8055]

Ryan is a great presenter, but I miss this guy's voice in 2022. Bring him back.

[@TwstedTV]

One of the BEST videos about Reason ever made.... Wooow, just Wooow.

[@MatthewJ.Tinney]

Direct route to creativity through this arp!

[@influxxmedia]

I love these videos how you build up a track to show practical applications of these features. Very nice

[@PauLtus_B]

As someone who really likes arps but always found the RPG8 melodies to be too simple I'm _very_ happy with this since I don't need to akwardly repeat everything for every chord. Next to that the polyrythyms are something I never really played with but can sound really nice. I like how easy it is to subtely tweak an arp pattern as well as experiment with it.

[@urbanman1516]

This guy is a tutorial God.

[@Barney-ii1no]

the send to track feature on the players is great!

[@HAZARDOUS88]

That last part was the best, very awesome!

[@murugeshanswamy3976]

propellehead you guys are simply amazing, i love the guy's voice to all your tutorial videos and promo videos... no words for you.... simply amazing

[@erickauffmann_official]

This is amazing! Wow..

[@teknorebel2577]

Love all the Reason vids, especially the Frank Sanderson ones. I could listen to this dude teach me how to make glue from a horse. I thought he sounded more convincing than a regular voice actor so I did some research. Come to find out he's a musician and sound designer among other creative pursuits (and he was Triceracop in Kung Fury :) as well as a professional voice actor. Propellerhead nailed it and I hope to see more vids from Frank.

[@DarleyHavidsun]

"Glue from a horse" 😂😂😂🤣omfg.... That's terrible. But yeah, even that he *would* make amazing. 😆 Frank is one of God's colours.

[@TheOne-yq6qk]

"Glue from a horse" 😂😂😂, we can also get him to be a commentator as we watch paint dry, that will be a game changer.

[@geoffkeeton4311]

Always so much information...it takes a few days for this old man to catch up, but awesome stuff...always more to learn..tweaking the filter of thor using velocity...adding another player...

[@ContentScientist]

All of these players are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NetFink]

I need to work with this one a little but this tutorial is spot on.. love the new players in Reason 9

[@vaudronphilippe5415]

Good job ! And great work ! Clear and efficient ! I love arpeggio in my prods and sure it’s a good way to with reason ! 12 reason’ s why

[@Nameless0909]

Amazing track at the end!! Also - I lol'd at chordsplaining

[@micromando4669]

Well is it really seven years ago i enjoyed this introduction? It's always good to re-inspire myself with the awesome capabilities of Reasons devices! I'll create another playlist to my usual music production lists here on YT and call it "Reasons finest". :D Btw, it would be really nice to un-sync the arpeggio and be able to automate the rate in Hz! Edit: You should really bring back such awesome features as shorts as friendly reminders, for example the part starting at 10:20 where it's really getting nice mimiking the natural piano playing with both hands. Friendly reminders to commemorate the users why they love Reason ♥

[@guydillon7190]

thank you kindly prop'heads, great tutorial.....again.

[@MGTheFuture]

Jeez, this is super useful. I've been using it, but now this makes way more sense.

[@CPtheCreator]

This is VERY convincing!!! WOW!!!

[@perrypelican9476]

Incredibly, brilliantly simple, yet complex. I love you guys. Keep creating wow stuff to spoil us. We deserve it because you started it. Can we have more than one instance that all work together?

[@VTOLKits]

I love the new players in reason...!

[@JarlHelin]

DANG ! I just love these tutorials.. Fast and up to speed

[@Nokka10]

My brain cells must have took a battering after 30 years of raving coz i found that incredibly hard to follow lol

[@Lanearndt]

could you maybe tell us where to find that Triangle Pluck patch?! I'm about as up to date as can be and I can't find it anywhere and search isn't bringing it up...you do kind of gloss over those where do i actually find that thing' moments!

[@LukaBeati]

This is awesome, I love Reason 💕

[@EarlyMist]

Great tutorial and the end result song was a huge payout. Cruisy as heck. Well done. I'm buying Reason again (my last version was 5 🤔)

[@futur_sunds]

I am an Ableton user, but despite Reason being very different then Ableton, I would probably use Reason if I couldn’t use Ableton, it just seems really powerful and it looks really cool, it just seems great.

[@ReasonStudios]

Why not both? Reason works as a VST inside Ableton Live. In fact, we just posted a new video on this topic today. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3LPaJijfd5katk

[@treDay-s5v]

Wow you sir is a legend!

[@SoundPeaks]

[@menacerisamir198]

this is really amazing,endless posibilities...

[@treDay-s5v]

Wow so helpful!

[@worldwithouttime]

super cool! thanks.

[@buddhaartsprech3r885]

New reason is looking quite nice... tell me ... can it be considered as a "complete" DAW now or will we still have to import our project into another daw to beef it up and finetune??

[@wketchin]

Nice now I know which instrument you use on your splash screen

[@KayossPlays]

fantastic tutorial! I just have a problem where it's playing the note.... and THEN playing the arpeggio.

[@hypnoz123]

Seriously awesome

[@JamieClark]

I've been mad at all these "fake it" for non-musicians, but the chords+pattern arp (like the piano) would be a legit time saver, especially if it can do more than 4 notes per step (for add9 chords, half diminished, Etc etc.) I wonder how it can do bass notes if some chords in a sequence are inverted? @PropellerheadSW any tips? I'm still on the fence about upgrading!

[@jam3-z8s]

Respect🙏

[@Tinyten]

Haha wtf? @4:40 "two fisted split"? It was a long night with a lot of drinks, when this one came up huh? :D

[@theherbalizer5145]

12:17 Can anyone explain the 'neptunized" vocals going through a Scales & Chords player to me - that sounds awesome!

[@konanhuet623]

Seems to use the neptune synth which is included in reason 11 and 10

is there a video that goes into certain techniques to develop interesting patterns with the Dual Arp?

Can change instrument from say piano to guitar etc ?

[@Nokka10]

Am i the only one that found that incredibly complicated? I get the basic principles but boy did he go in deep???

[@Bloodhound_Dogg]

You totally skipped how to make the chord progression option come up... i can find it but i can't get it to make any noise

[@FPVMike]

can anyone tell me what the drum kit is used in the song at the end?

[@Michaelsapoznik]

I just upgraded to Reason ( and I am super excited about it but it is running slower than ever on my computer! I have 8bg ram and a ton of space for it so i am not understanding why. I have OSX most recent update. Is there a why so free up more ram so it doesn't ski[ every other second?

[@RyanHarlin]

Well the good news is that this isn't normal behavior... the bad news is that you're experiencing not normal behavior. Are you on an iMac by any chance? Or a retina display? You might want to try to go to the Reason app icon in the Finder, get info, and check off "Open in Low Resolution" to disable the retina HD peformance. I've seen that fix what is similar behavior someone else was having.

[@Michaelsapoznik]

I am on an imac without retina display. I have a about a 7year old Presonus.

[@Barney-ii1no]

reason 9 runs better than 8 for me, the stalling i was getting sometimes when using the browser has stopped aswell

[@timbeneton8068]

Can we use Dual Arpeggio Player in others DAW's?

Arent the chords played in the first example the ones from Adele - Someone like you?

Nice.

Apparently not, actually... check out where his hand is relative to the capo on the guitar. :) /ryan

Ahh, the infamous ghost chord. Only those who have studied since childhood have mastered it.

I knew I recognized him! haha

[@paulosborne8609]

The level of dope was though

[@dekumusicx]

anyone know a vst similar to this ?

[@kevinstoneham1245]

That sounds like the chord progression from Cloud Atlas.

[@claudiocoggiatti7199]

Interesting but i cringe with that pronunciation of "arpeggio", since i'm italian i cant tell you that is still better than America standard xD. Jk nice tutorial and well explained, keep it up you are making me love Reason

[@ReasonStudios]

This is French, I realize, but your comment reminded me of this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIDEg4SsgZl9iqs

MOOOOORE

[@jamisbillson4872]

I may be wrong..but arpeggiators don't need chords to work do they? Maybe I'm getting confused with sequencers. It's the gettingold stuff...screws with reality. And the weed.

[@ReasonStudios]

Arpeggiators use chords to work. Otherwise they either repeat the same note (in various octaves depending on the settings). Whether an arpeggiator is fed chords or creates them using a diatonic chord generator before the actual arpeggiator is up to the design of each unit but before classic arpeggiation can occur a chord's worth of notes needs to be generated. /ryan

[@Minecraftminer3000]

You're slowly making me dislike FL Studio. Reason makes music making so easy!

[@monogramadikt]

now we have vst access also, im using the beta of 9.5 , its total sickness

[@TheOyeHoy]

This thing has choppy-audio/latency issues when coupled with some VSTs (Vital Synth, for example) Please fix this, guys. A number of people have reported this issue on various forums.

[@chuckaudio3191]

9:43 The guy on the left looks kinda familiar... Hmm...

[@dumbpublichater9365]

Why were the players made stock stuff instead making em REs ? Why do they have this gameboy design ? Why dont you make Parsec stock instrument instead ? On the other hand big upps for audio to midi and pitch edit, these rock. I love Reason, it is my passion, I am just a bit disapointed by the 9..

[@tomkot]

Why did you add devices with LESS functionality than devices that have been in Reason for years? For example why didn't you make it possible to automate the velocities on the arps? Or AT LEAST have a general automatable volume level for each of them so that you can vary how much you want each arp to sound at different times. This is BASIC functionality, why don't you add it?

[@compteprivefr]

You can export the pattern to track and do whatever you want there.

[@KingGrio]

9:36 Is that ?... Boris Johnson ?

[@cooljerry6586]

this player makes my head hurt, the other 2 were easier to understand..lol

[@Nokka10]

Thanks You! I thought it was just me..Far too much to take in, in just 13 mintues..Sometimes i wished these tutorials would slow down a bit

Also this device still has bugs, that the timing gets incorrect first times it runs. It's been four years and you haven't even fixed it yet? That's amazingly bad maintenance.
