How to load a sound in the Reason Re-Drum Sample Drum machine

In this tutorial I will show you how to load a sound on the Re-Drum Computer or Drum Machine for short. Loading sounds individually is useful when you want to create a beat with unique sounds that do not come in a prepackaged kit or refill. The drum machine will only accept Wave or Reason Refill format. Once you have enough sounds loaded you can create a loop or beat (please see how to create a loop tutorial)

Launch Reason by double clicking on the Orange Icon

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you launch Reason, it should show you the default rack (full of instruments)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Click on the sideways pyramid icon to expand the Re-Drum Computer Drum Machine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the Re-Drum has been expanded it should look like this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will begin by selecting the first channel on the drum machine. This can be done by pressing the “select button:. Then you can proceed to click on the folder icon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should now see the sample browser window open. Here you can browse for the desired Wave file or Reason refill to load. For this sample I will choose a bass drum then click OK.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Channel 1 should now display the sample you just loaded.
