Alligator Percussion Patterns

This post is a real quick tip, but I have been using it lately to geneate all sorts of cool percussion patterns and grooves. If you are stuck for rhythmic ideas, or just want to add some variety to a simple drum loop, try sending some drums or percussion through an Alligator Triple Filtered Gate. Here what I will typically do:

1. Create a ReDrum
   
2. Right click on the Redrum and from the pop up menu choose Creative FX -> Alligator Triple Filtered Gate.
   
3. Click on the Redrum, then choose Edit -> Randomize Pattern.
   
4. Press Play on the Redrum.

Try turning down the Delay on the Alligator and using patterns in the 30's and above. You can make some cool grooves. Here I am just experimenting with different patterns layered on top of a basic rock beat.

And here is the Reason 6 Song file so you can see how it is all set up. Happy filtering!
