ADVANCED MIDI - THE EXTERNAL CONTROL BUS INPUTS

122

About the External Control

Bus inputs

The External Control Bus inputs allow you to send MIDI directly to Reason devices.

D These MIDI inputs are for controlling Reason devices from an external

sequencer.

This could be an external hardware sequencer or a sequencer application running

on another computer.

D If you want to control Reason from another sequencer application on the

same computer, the preferred method is ReWire (see page 126).

However, if the other sequencer software doesn’t support ReWire 2, the External

Control Bus inputs can be an alternative. In that case, you may need to use a MIDI

routing application to be able to route MIDI from one program to the other.

You set up the External Control Bus inputs on the Advanced Control page in the Pref-

erences dialog:

D You should select a separate MIDI port for each bus you plan to use.

Each bus provides 16 MIDI channels, for a total of up to 64 MIDI input channels.

For example, if you have an external sequencer with two MIDI outputs, you connect

these to two MIDI inputs on your MIDI interface and select these two inputs for the

first two busses on the Advanced MIDI page. You will then be able to send MIDI

on up to 32 channels from the external sequencer to Reason.

D Make sure you don’t select a MIDI port that is already selected on the

Control Surfaces and Keyboards page (or in the MIDI Clock Sync sec-

tion).

Routing MIDI to Devices

Each External Control Bus can control up to 16 different Reason devices, one for

each MIDI channel. To route a MIDI channel directly to a Reason device, proceed as

follows:

1. Locate the hardware interface at the top of the rack.

2. In the MIDI In device, click the Bus Select button for the External Control Bus

you want to use (A, B, C or D).

3. Below the Bus Select buttons there are fields for the 16 MIDI channels. Click

the arrow button for the desired MIDI channel and select a Reason device

from the menu that appears.

Incoming MIDI data on that bus and channel will now be sent directly to the se-

lected device. In other words, the master keyboard routing (the “In” column in the

sequencer) is bypassed.

Sending Controller Data via MIDI

It is possible to send controller data from an external sequencer to control Reason pa-

rameters. Just set up your external device to transmit the correct MIDI controller mes-

sages on the right MIDI port.

To find out which MIDI Controller number corresponds to which control on each de-

vice, please see the “MIDI Implementation Charts.pdf” document.

Once you have located the controller numbers and set everything up, you can record

and edit the controller data in the external sequencer as you normally do, and the Rea-

son parameters will react correspondingly.

✪ Do not confuse this with Remote control. Remote does not require any

mapping of controller numbers for supported control surfaces! See page

110.

Recording Pattern changes

As specified in the MIDI Implementation, MIDI Controller #3 can be used to switch

patterns in a device. However, pattern changes activated this way occur immediately

(not at the end of the bar), which may or may not be what you prefer.

Please see page 69 for information on recording and editing pattern changes.
