Arrange the new phrase how ever you wish. Phrases across keymap The original phraseĭuplicate the first phrase by either Ctrl+D and then dragging on to the next desired keymap or Ctrl+Drag on the first phrase on the keymap to the next key. To keep out of the way of the main slices I usually start on C1 on Redux which maps to C-1 on Bitwig. Once happy with the first phrase, I tend to drag it to C1 on the keyboard by setting the phrases option to keymap and drag each phrase to occupy one key. This can be hit and miss depending on the number of slices vs tempo of the DAW vs the Lines Per Beat so it’s best to experiment to start with. Right click on a slice maker and select render slices to phrase. You can either program straight using the render slices to phrase section in the waveform window. Next is arranging the break and this is where you can whigg out on all kinds of wonderful. Turns out the old backwards/ping-pong loop trick really does work and the good thing for the lazy amongst us, just selecting all your slices and clicking backward loop for all will suffice. No need to reach out to midi keyboard here.įor quite a while I could never figure out why my breaks didn’t sound as fluid as they could be. What makes this really quick at chopping breaks is the qwerty keyboard that allows you to preview each slice. It has some handy snap options Zero crossing and different time denominations. Contrl wheel mouse usually takes care of it all. The good thing about Redux is that zooming and scrolling for each slice doesn’t cause RSI. So how do I use this in my tracks? read on and you will find out….įind you break and chop chop chop. It doesn’t offer midi export of slices but you have phrases and the lack of midi export becomes a non event. You can slice non destructively and still assign slices to different modulations/FX routes. Its a multi modulation, multi out instrument. Redux is a sampler workstation that offers an endless number of creative options.

It has nearly all of the functionality the sampler does in Renoise, with odd exception and these can be found on the help pages of Redux is essentially the sampler element of Renoise split out into a VST. This post will look at using a seriously underrated sampler called Redux by the same people that bring you the Tracker DAW Renoise. Pervious posts looked at bitwig and who you can use the stock devices to slice up a break and use the techniques that were used in the early days of Jungle.
