Lostinthamusic Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Quick question, I'm using Reason 2.5 & I finally got a keyboard hooked up into my computer, via a USB cable. Now how do I get it so I can use the keyboard in Reason? I'm wondering the same thing.
Arcana Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Quick question, I'm using Reason 2.5 & I finally got a keyboard hooked up into my computer, via a USB cable. Now how do I get it so I can use the keyboard in Reason? When I got a USB MIDI controller (PCR-80), I had no problems with getting it to work. I have Reason 3.0 and they changed the MIDI engine, but you should be able to select your device from the Preferences->MIDI section. I used to have Reason 2.5 on Windows (I also had the Mac version) and on both 2.5 and 3.0, Mac and Windows, worked without a hitch. Is your controller recognized by your OS? Also, make sure that the track you want to play is selected using the little keyboard icon.
ILLiterate Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 D: Looks like I gots me no midi input, and I can't get it to work through the USB port so there goes my chances of hooking this keyboard up
sgx Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 You installed the drivers for the keyboard, right? That's the first step. Then Reason should see the drivers and they will be an option to select in the midi preferences.
V___ Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 On the samplers, i can select wether i want it mono or polyphonic. After the sampler, a chain will follow, obviously, usually with reverb. If i choose to have my sampler monophonic, and press another note over a held one, the old sample cuts out, hurray. However its remnants remain in the reverb. Is there anyway to set it up, so that when i press a new note on the sampler, the reverb unit clears itself? Would i CV the sampler to the noise gate on the rv7000? At the moment, i'm exporting alot of loops to get the effect i'm after...
sgx Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Hmmm. yea that's a toughie. I don't think you can "clear" a reverb. I'm not great at programming samplers, but you could build a sample patch in the samper that does this I think. Export one note with the reverb on it, then bring that wav back in in the sampler. Set up the loop and release points and whatnot, and that might do the trick.
Argitoth Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Is there anyway to set it up, so that when i press a new note on the sampler, the reverb unit clears itself? whaaaaaaa.... what effect are you after? Are you after the effect in trance music with pumping lead synths and how they sound like they don't have reverb on them until the note is let go? That's an eeezeee effect. eeeeheheheeezeeeheheheheeeee EEEZEEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it's easy. is this what you are after?
Arcana Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Uh no. He wants to find out how you can clear the reverb trails early, if I properly read the post.
Argitoth Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Uh no. He wants to find out how you can clear the reverb trails early, if I properly read the post. Yes, while he may want this to happen, it's probably not the solution to the effect he wants, that is why I am asking if he wants the effect that SOUNDS like the reverb clears every note.
V___ Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Thanks for the help guys. I was going for a hiphop stop/start sound, exporting and re-importing samples seems to be the only way to get the desired sound (though the automation of the Enabled switch got it very close) EDIT You could always wire the dry and the wet signals into different mixer channels, invert the CV from one of the synth's envelopes, and wire it to the volume CV of the wet signal. That was an awesome idea, not the effect i was going for but gave me some ideas

Souliarc Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I don't know what the invertal of time is for a sticky to be auto-pruned, but just in case... BRRUMP
btangel Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 don't know if this has been posted http://www.ableton.com/frame/tips/2004_02 basically, if this works (I haven't tired it yet) you can record live audio with Reason! edit: tried it just now and it works perfectly! woohoo!
sgx Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Lots of rewire hosts can do that . Is there a reason you would record it live rather than just bouncing? Maybe in Live when you are performing because you can catch audio and then manipulate it Live during a performance, but otherwise, bouncing is the same thing and it is faster than real time. Probably takes a bit less set up also.
Nivi Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 don't know if this has been postedhttp://www.ableton.com/frame/tips/2004_02 basically, if this works (I haven't tired it yet) you can record live audio with Reason! edit: tried it just now and it works perfectly! woohoo! Wait... this is not what I expected it to be.
Nivi Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Guys, you can get live audio into reason. There's this program that pretends to be ReBirth and the audio comes out the Rebirth machine. Unfortunately I can't get it to work.
tweex Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 How do i change the tempo mid-song. I need to be able to speed it up closer towards the end. I know that there is an option in the Edit menu that says "Change Events" and that lets you "Scale" the tempo up or down. It works fine for the musical notes and devices, but it messes up the drum track because it scales it down. What I need is to be able to change the tempo. How can I do this? If it is not possible in Reason (which I would be very surprised if it can't be done), are there other options that I can try?
Nicole Adams Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Nope, you can't change the tempo in Reason. ReWiring doesn't work either.
Hy Bound Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Rewiring actually does work. You just have to use it sparingly; ive been using it in my recent song...
Nicole Adams Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Correction then: ReWiring doesn't work when using FL Studio as a host.
Splunkle Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Correction then: ReWiring doesn't work when using FL Studio as a host. It does work. I've seen it work with FL 5 and Reason 2.5. Make sure you have everything set up correctly, then just change the tempo in fruity using the event editor. The problem is that Reason does some strange things when you change the tempo mid-song, particularly with the delay unit. So as Mr. Zenith said, be careful.
Nicole Adams Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Whenever I try to change the tempo mid-song the current playing position jumps a bunch of measures.
SenPi Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I have personally found a foolproof way of changing tempo in the middle of a song in reason. Well this works for me anyways. I open Acid (5) and rewire it to reason. I use tempo change markers in acid to change the tempo in reason mid song, and it works flawlessly for me. You might wanna try that.
Nicole Adams Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Yeah, I was thinking about switching to ACID as a host, anyway. Thanks.
sgx Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 ACID Pro 6 is the bizniss if anyone is wondering. MIDI and vsti support is actually quite good (up from abysmal in version 5).
