It would be great if you could simply drop Reason in-line with another instrument, acting like a MIDI plug‑in, but I don't know of any DAWs that allow this kind of configuration. Now, anything I play or record via Track 1 will trigger the synth on Track 2, with my notes processed by the Reason Player.Īn important point is that you always need to use separate tracks for source and destination. Track 1 is armed and Auto Input monitoring, Track 2 is in Input monitoring mode. In the second pop-up I've selected the Reason plug‑in specifically. On Track 2's MIDI From selector I've chosen Track 1. The MIDI source for each track is set on the channel strip's MIDI From section. In Screen 1 (above) I've got the Player on Track 1 of a Live project, and Ableton's Wavetable synth on Track 2.
Different DAWs have their own way to pick this up. If you arm the track or make it the focus for your MIDI keyboard controller, MIDI will pass through the Player, and into the MIDI Out device polyphonically. (Players can't exist on their own if you try this in the stand-alone Reason app it creates an ID8 instrument). Reason will automatically add the new MIDI Out device and snap the Player to it. If you have an up-to-date version of Reason installed, try inserting the plug‑in in your DAW and dropping any Player device into the virgin Rack. Most DAWs could benefit from a built-in step sequencer as an alternative to the piano-roll approach. Plus, the MIDI Output devices can translate Reason's internal CV connections into CC, so you can utilise any modulation source from the Rack in your DAW. There's also the still-great Matrix pattern sequencer, the analogue sequencer in Thor, Redrum's multi-channel gate sequencer, and many other sequencing Rack Extensions. Why route MIDI out of the Reason Rack? Well there are the Players: various MIDI performance transformers and sequencers that are just as cool when used with your other instrument plug‑ins (or hardware synths) as they are with Reason's internal devices.

This month we'll dig into the other new feature: a MIDI Out device, which adds the ability to patch MIDI from inside the Rack environment to other tracks in your project. As a Pro Tools user I'm delighted to now have an AAX version of the plug‑in we'll explore that soon. There have been a couple of significant updates to the Reason Rack plug‑in. We look at what you can do with Reason's new MIDI Out Rack device. MIDI from the master keyboard is processed in the Reason Rack and routed back to the DAW via the MIDI Out device.
