    Brilliant vid, well explained to create infinite chord progression that sounds good together!

    I like that you added the black dots to identify the black keys. Was thinking about doing just that.😊 I appreciated the advice in this video. Good work.

    Hi Rico, thanks for the cheat sheet! I’ve listed to your song. I definitely recognise snare and one of the hats from MC. Maybe also lead at 0:39. Honestly lost synth and tones could come from there 😂

      Hi Pierre! Thank you for listening - I’m happy you did! That is correct, snares, and hats are from the Model Cycles, as well as the kick and FM-synth chords which are played in reverse. Again thanks for listening and commenting 👊🙏

    Well, that's quite intersting! So, if I understood correctly, Reason timeline is used to kind of switch between different patches/sounds/banks of the Combinators, right?

    I'm asking you if you can make an entire track without needing anything else. Thanks

    • @ricobenavides
      @ricobenavides  Год назад

      You sure can with some assistance! Patterns can be sequenced to form a song. There is no song mode and you can’t export a sound file containing your song, so you would need a recorder to capture your song while playing/sequencing it live.

      and what machine do you recommend to do everything?

    • @ricobenavides
      @ricobenavides  Год назад

      Depending on your budget you might want to look into the Synthstrom Deluge, Akai MPC or Akai Force, or a maybe the newly released Yamaha Seqtrak which looks pretty good for a entry-level groovebox. I also recommend buying used gear to keep costs down - I’ve bought many pieces of gear used.

      I have no experience with that one, but I believe it is focused on percussion, so it might not be the all-in-one box you are searching for.

    Just learn you're scales, pentatonic scales sound better? Says who?

    • @ricobenavides
      @ricobenavides  3 года назад +2

      It’s a common practise to use the pentatonic scale for lead melodies, especially in EDM. I took Kygo’s monthly class in January - he mentioned this as well.
