For those of you who don’t live on the back of Reason’s Rack, you may have missed a feature included in our newest Player, Chord Sequencer.
There are two CV Outputs, named Root Note CV Out and Chord Gate Out. By using these two outputs, you can easily create an accompanying bassline to go with your chord progression. Of course, this is a very simple tip and you’re free to go WAY deeper, but if you haven’t tried this out yet, go give it a go!

One of the most powerful features inside Chord Sequencer is called "External Trigger Mode", which allows you to control the rhythm of your chord progression (which is setup in Chord Sequencer) with other devices inside the Reason Rack. For example, throw a Drum Sequencer on top of Chord Sequencer and you can now add interesting and unique rhythms to your chord progressions. This is a really sure fire way to find new grooves and explore new styles. Give it a try! #reasongang

Despite being over 15 years old at this point, Malström is still one of the most capable, exciting and powerful synthesizers in the Reason Rack. Malström played a critical role in the development of the drum & bass sound over in the UK and to this day remains a key piece of kit for filthy bass sounds and glitchy FX.
In this video, producer and DJ Decline walks you through how you can use the Malström to create heavy mid-basses and FX for your heavy electronic tracks. This sound design process is unedited, so you see the entire sound design process from start to finish! #reasongang
Malström is built into Reason 12 and can be used in the Reason DAW or in the Reason Rack Plugin (VST3/AU/AAX).

Ian Kirkpatrick (Lizzo, Dua Lipa, Katy Perry, Chainsmokers, and more) sat down with Chord Sequencer to see what it could do. Fortunately for us all, he rolled his camera in real time and what we get is more than just his infectious enthusiasm for Chord Sequencer but also an inside look at his creative process and decision making while building up a new idea. The full video is well worth a watch on our channel! But for this #shorts, we just loved how contagious Ian’s joy is.
