Cutting Up Musical Loops in REAPER

Cutting Up Musical Loops in REAPER

[KarstenHeymann]

The "double click to choose played note" is a really neat trick.

I saw this on Tuesday, and played around with it a bit: turns out THIS is my new favorite tool for composing. I assign each part of a song to a different instance of ReSimplomatic, just what you did with the loops, instead of in my case it's one for the intro, one for the verse, one for the bridge and so on. This way I can create midi items based upon one note, and by quickly rearranging them listen to different arrangements to my compositions. Heck, I can do this even in real time with my midi keyboard! Thank you and big shoutout to all the Reaper developers, and of course to you, Kenny!

Yessss.
My thought finally reached the Brain of the Hive. This is what I've been waiting for. Thank you so much Kenny

The fact is I always learn a lot from Kenny's videos. He is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person ever existed in Reaper community. He helped me and many others to learn this wonderful DAW in a short amount of time with great accuracy.

Kenny's tutorials are always informative and inspirational in equal measure which is a rare thing.

These techniques will be great to try on my bass station synth, thanks again Kenny for the tips.

I am always IMPRESSED (to say the least) how much one can do with Repaer out of the box. That's the reason why I LOVE Reaper: No fancy bells and whistles but pure raw power of the tools (if one is willing to learn). I am constantly tinkering with the idea to buy "Bitwig Studio" or "Ableton Live". But for what I do (Ambient and Dub Techno) and my workflow Reaper is nearly perfect. And: I would start learning again. Currently in Reaper I do not need (most of the time) to think about how something is done because I know the basics. And if I need to know something I don't know in Reaper ... there's Kenny. 😃

Thank you so much again for this inspiring video. 😍

...thanks Kenny. It is a pleasure to see that the RSK5 has also made remarkable strides in terms of use and its functions. Thanks for your tutorials 😉🎼👍🏽

[OtterLakeFlutes]

thanks so much... can anyone weigh in on -- is Reaper going good and strong, kinda future-proof for years to come, still? Sure seems like it. Ready to start with my personal license and needing to scale up to pro would be a good problem to have.

[robflores]

You've been at this for a long time man! Glad to see you're still going and dope you're still repping reaper and kicking tons of knowledge! Also it's great to finally see your face man! Might have to come back to reaper!

[aurisbunni]

i bet you i will definitely use this, this can be helpful on producing some lofi beats that i sometimes find myself wanting to do. this is definitely a very neat method, thanks again for the quality tutorial, kenny!

[Dmezures]

Kenny, . Can u ask someone at cockos to add a "time stretch" knob/feature into the samplomatic 5000 interface. It would be a game changer!

[MarcyRavenManji]

Man, this is EXACTLY what I needed right now. Thank you so much!

[turtleCalledCalmie]

Thanks Kenny for another great and quick tutorial <3 You are sole reason i picked up reaper right before pandemic hit :D
Just wanted to add maybe helpful info - in SWS there is bunch of scripts like "Script: mpl_Export selected items to RS5k instances on selected track (use original source).lua" that can help with making RS5k instances out of chopped items so it might helpful.

[TheNewFlesh]

3:11 Oh wow, the double-click to set note range in RS5K is going to be a huge time saver

[TKOthunder]

You have no idea how useful this is as a producer who is inspired by Nujabes. You might have saved me buying a mpc3000. Thank you, sensei!

[MadenEarth]

MPC style!!! very good, this is how hiphop was produced in the 90s, nice samplig technique!!!

[thimovijfschaft]

Can you do a tutorial on amen break chopping in Reaper

[samaitcheson]

Great tutorial Kenny. I've never used Reaper's sampler but your video has shown me some options that I could use in my compositions. Please keep these videos coming.

[harrisfrankou]

Wow I have a Roland KB spare with a "Fake Theremin" and was talking to a collaborator about chopping up guitar riffs for similar things.
This is so next level it's beyond anything I hear in my head...both with the pitch band wheel and the Theremin.
I was looking also looking at the splicing Spitfire Abbey Road Orchestra loops converted to Waves to Theremin over his spoken word...but this is way better.
Another Killer app Kenny.
Excelsior Champ saved for a rewatch. Like your many of yours vids.
