Reason Studios | From Raw Chord Progressions to Full Songs with Chord Sequencer @ReasonStudios | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Chord Sequencer is included as part of a Reason+ subscription which you can sign up for at https://www.reasonstudios.com. You can get your first month for just $1. If you'd prefer to own it, check it out at our Shop here reasonstudios.com/shop/rack-extension/chord-sequencer
It's no secret that Reason's Chord Sequencer Player MIDI effect makes creating great chord progressions easy, fast, and even fun! But the right combination of chords is just the first step on your way to a full song. In this song cook-up, Ryan shows us how he goes about customizing Chord Sequencer presets to inspire full songs. He'll be showing how to add dynamics to your progressions, modify and customize chord voicings and performances, as well as some VERY useful control voltage cabling tricks that can take your chord progression from a single instrument to the driving force behind a full song's production! If you've already got Chord Sequencer, you'll want to update to version 1.1 to get these latest features.
