Sonar 4 and using Reason's Re-drum & Rex

I am using Sonar 4 and Reason 2.5, and would prefer to do all sequencing in Sonar.

Does anyone know if the Re-Drum patterns can be changed thru the Sonar sequence?

I'd like to be able to hit play on Sonar, and have Re-drum play pattern a1, then a2 a couple times, back to a1, etc. I'd rather not just use Re-drum as a module.

Also,

Any suggestions on using Dr-Rex loops with Sonar? I thought I saw an article about this topic, but I cannot find it anymore.

Would it be best to import the Dr-Rex loop into a Sonar audio track? Or is there a way thru to do this thru Reason?

    I'm not 100% and I'm not at home, but I'm pretty sure I was messing around with this and I found everything is sync'd up between sonar and reason. So you should be able to program your pattern changes out in reason, and will hear the pattern change at the correct time as the audio comes into sonar. I'm not sure if there's a way to do it within sonar, maybe there is. But there's a work around for ya :).

    What I just described probably works for Dr. Rex too, not sure if there's another way.

    I"m not too sure about your redrum question but I know if you want to use Dr. Rex, just select reason as your ouput and underneath that column select Dr.rex from the menu. In reason, load the rex file you want to use. Click to track on the dr.rex player. This will creat the loop in the reason sequencer. Highlight it and go to file and export as midi file. save it and then in Sonar go to import midi file and Bada bing bada boom, you've got your Rex file into Sonar.

    All right.

    The Dr-Rex trick worked great. Now all I need to do is open this basic 8 bar "REX LOOP" midi file whenever I need to use a Rex Loop, without needing to mess around with Reason seq tracks.

    Thanks.

    With Redrum using Reason you can Sequence using Patterns A1 B3 A3 B3 etc etc it's easy.

    You only have to switch back to Reason from the Sonar window...takes 2 secs

    You could export the midi from Reason import it into sonar and control the Redrum module in Sonar whilst it is rewired (i.e. Midi clips)

    Lots of diffrenet ways around this.

    Good Luck


     Yes.
