Glitch Rhythm Machine
Buffre is useful for creating more experimental sounds, especially when using very short
and fast loop segments. Because Buffre functions like a real-time audio sampler, small
audio clips can become the source for completely new tones. The following example
demonstrates a method of manipulating audio “grains” in a rhythmic manner using
Buffre and Matrix Pattern Sequencers to automate looping and “Advance Position”
functions.
1. In an empty song session, create a Dr.OctoREX Loop Player, and open the loop or patch
browser.
2. Navigate to the Reason Factory Sound Bank \ Dr Rex Percussion Loops \ -‐ Keith LeBlanc (KLB)
\ Rubber Perc directory, and load the loop “Prc04_Rubber_156_KLB.rx2”
3. Create a Buffre Beat Repeater, and verify that it’s inserted between the Dr.OctoREX outputs
and the Mix Channel device inputs.
4. Create a Matrix PaYern Sequencer and verify that it’s connected to the Buffre Sequencer CV
and Gate input sockets.
5. On ‘Matrix 1’ set the Octave slider to 2 and set all of the note values to C2 (the boYom row),
and press the TIE buYon and convert the gate events to Jed notes from Step 1 to Step 15.
Leave Step 16 a normal gate event.
Now press play on the Sequencer Transport. You will hear Buffre capturing and looping a short
audio grain at the beginning of each measure.
