Changing the Octave and Making 2 Patterns on the Matrix

Today we are going to play 'Snap Your Fingers' on the Matrix. We will be learning how to change the Octave on the Matrix and how to make two patterns. This should be much easier than when we tried to make the melody before using the keyboards.
After you create the melody, make a 32 step redrum beat to go with it.
- Open Reason
- Make sure you have a Mixer 14:2
- Set Tempo at 82 bpm
- Create a Malstrom
- On The Malstrom, click on the folder in the upper left hand corner.
- Go to Reason Factory Sound Bank: Malstrom Patches: Mono Synths: Chingy Lead.xwv
- We need a way to add the melody from Snap Yo Fingas, which is in C minor...Create a Matrix!
- On the Matrix, change the steps from 16 to 8.
- On the Matrix, move the Octave switch, on the left from the keyboard, from 3 to 4.
- Turn the Volume off on notes 4, 6, and 8.
- On Steps 1 and 2, click on the lowest note boxes to bring the notes up to the 4th Octave from the 3rd Octave.
- On Step 3, click on the 4th box up.
- On Steps 5 and 7, click on the 3rd box up.
- It should look like this.
- Now, move your Right loop point to R3.
- Right Click on the Matrix (or go to edit) and select Copy Pattern To Track.
- Move the Right loop point to R5 and the Left loop point to L3.
- On the Matrix, Select Pattern 2.
- Move the Octave Switch from 4 to 5.
- On the Matrix, change the steps from 16 to 8.
- Repeat lesson steps 10-13.
- Right Click on the Matrix and Select Copy Pattern To Track.
- Move the Left loop point to L1.
- Click the Pattern Button on the Matrix.
- Create a Redrum and make your own 32 step beat to go along with the Snap Ya Fingas melody.
- When you have finished the beat, Copy Pattern To Track.
- Save your beat as Snap (your name)'s Fingers
- Let me or Sean hear your beat so you can get credit.
