Audio Track Beat Repeater
The beat repeater effect can also be applied to Audio Tracks, such as vocals or other
melodic parts. While there are several ways to accomplish this in Reason and Reason
Essentials, the most common approach is to use Buffre as an insert effect and nest the
device in the Audio Track Sub Rack. The example below describes the process of
implementing Buffre as an Insert Effect on an Audio Track device, and configuring MIDI
Keyboard control:
1. In an empty song session, create an Audio Track device, and import an audio file. If you do
not have an audio file, you may also import a REX loop to the audio track.
2. On the Audio Track device, press the “SHOW INSERT FX” buYon to expand the insert effect
secJon.
3. From the Create Menu \ CreaJve FX submenu, Select “Buffre Beat Repeater.” This will add
the device to the rack and automaJcally cable it as an insert effect.
4. Click on the BuffRe device to select it, and right click to open the contextual menu. From the
contextual Menu, select the “Create Track for BuffRe” item. This adds a sequencer track Jed
to BuffRe and routes MIDI directly to the device.
5. Press Play on the Sequencer Transport and as the loop plays, start pressing keys on your MIDI
keyboard in the range of D-‐1 to F4 to engage the beat repeater effect.
