Notice that the Quantization setting on the sequencer changes from “1/16” to “User”. Select the “Get User Groove” item from the contextual menu list. Position the mouse cursor over a grouped segment in the sequencer, and right-click (MacOS: Hold Control & Click) to open the contextual menu.ĥ. The slice data is 2 measures and will appear grouped in 2 measure segments.Ĥ. Click the “To Track” button on the Dr.REX player to export the loop slice data to the Reason Sequencer. Load the ReCycle Loop, “Hse06_Strictly_130_eLAB.rx2” from the Factory Sound bank \ Dr Rex Drum Loops \ House Directory.ģ. In an empty Reason song file, create a Dr.REX Loop player.Ģ.
#Mpc groove midi files how to
If you are unfamiliar with the “User Groove” feature in Reason, try the following exercise to discover how to set a groove quantization template.ġ. The REX files provided the ideal solution as they capture all of the timing idiosyncrasies of the MPC-3000 with the precision of digital audio rather than MIDI PPQ. Once converted to REX files, these loops were loaded into Reason via a Dr.REX Loop player, and the slice data was extracted into individual sequencer tracks. These loops have different quantization swing settings, which range from 50% (16th Notes) to 75% (triplets).
#Mpc groove midi files series
Each loop is a series of 16th note hi-hat events with a length of four measures. The problem could be the difference in PPQ (Pulse Per Quarter Note) resolution on different sequencers, or perhaps the latency and timing of the circuitry in the sampler engine.Īs an alternative solution, loops, programmed on the MPC, were recorded into a digital audio workstation. The timing does not seem to capture the groove when using imported MIDI files. Originally, this project involved creating MIDI files on the MPC and transferring them to a computer for import into Reason, but the results did not quite have the same feel as loops created with the MPC. The MPC-3000 Groove Templates are MIDI sequences extracted from sample loops created with an Akai MPC-3000 MIDI Production Center. I’m consistently asked how to use this song file, so the following tutorial explains the procedure of using Reason’s user groove feature. This project was inspired by necessity to bring the feel of the MPC into Reason. The design of legend, Roger Linn, combined with Akai’s sampling technology is still used by many to this day.
The drum grooves created with this instrument consistently yield a very musical flow that inspire beat oriented tracks.
