Let’s do some digital drum programming, but using organic source material recorded on acoustic instruments. It’s a perfect hybrid workflow: the precision of electronic music, the tastiness of acoustic percussion.
I’ll show four methods to achieve this here:
1. Reason’s Dr OctoRex
2. Reason’s Beatmap
3. Ableton Live’s Simpler
4. Ableton Live’s Euclidian Sequencer (in Max4Live)
You can get access to all the Reason devices with a Reason+ subscription: https://www.reasonstudios.com/#ref=underdog (affiliate link)
