  • Chord Sequencer is included as part of a Reason+ subscription which you can sign up for at 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 www.reasonstudios.com/shop/ra...
    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.

    Excellent pedagogical approach! Also, not typically a fan of the generally slick type of pop track he was creating, but have to admit it was a banger when he was done. Loved all the subtle little techniques and additional skills/tools he touched on as he rounded out the track, all building off of the themes he elaborated on earlier. Wonderful!

      Jon!! I say this with every bit of sincerity that I can squeeze out of a TH-cam comment's text-only delivery format: That means SO much for me to read and is all I (or Reason Studios) could hope to hear. The work I do in making these videos ends up inspiring myself to make music, and my main goal is to make that inspirational feeling contagious in the video itself. So thanks for sharing that with me. It makes the effort feel worthwhile.
