Despite Reason's armory of devices that assist with playing, I'm having trouble isolating a single procedure or device to accomplish the following:
I play live - Sometimes there are too many parts to play live so I look for a way to trigger a phrase to 'automate' its playing - whether it's a one bar measure, two or three. It might be a series of chord stabs, or a solo line or a chain of sound effects. The first challenge is trigger the 'loop' so that it plays through only once. The second challenge is to ensure the tempo matches the live playing - which I have to set a tap-tempo button while playing before I use my 'triggered' sequence.
I have experimented with using Phrase Key Triggered Sequencer (by Retouch Control), Dr. OctoRex, and all the Player Devices but haven't found my "go-to" solution for this. What devices would you use and how would you set it up?
Triggering mini sequences
What about Sequences from robotic bean ?
Put sequences in 1-SHOT mode, flip the rack, and add a Trig IN input, for example coming from kong ?

Then you could automate or assign a midi controller to select the activer pattern for other "sequences"
Good luck!

+1 for Noise's suggestion to use Sequences in 1-Shot mode.
Note, if you want to trigger a sequence manually, no need to use the Trig IN on the back. Simply put the instrument that Sequences is controlling into MIDI focus, and hit a key when you want the trigger the Sequence.
