MIDI OUT DEVICE497
! With most DAWs, a Reason Rack Plugin instance can produce both audio and MIDI at the same time (i.e. a
Reason Rack Plugin instrument can also send out MIDI). However, with DAWs using the AU plugin format (e.g.
Logic), you need to add Reason Rack Plugin in a special MIDI FX slot for it to output MIDI. That instance will be
a MIDI effect only and won't output audio.
! If you get problems with “hanging” notes, click the Panic button to send out an “All Notes Off”.
q To route MIDI from other Player devices in the Reason Rack Plugin instance, simply create another MIDI Out
Device and attach another Player to it. Then, select a different MIDI Channel on the MIDI Out Device.
• You don’t have to attach a Player to the MIDI Out Device - you could use the MIDI Out Device just for “through-
put” of the MIDI from the Reason Rack Plugin instance.
In these situations it doesn’t matter where in the rack you place the MIDI Out Device.
About recording the Player MIDI from the MIDI Out Device
If you want to record the MIDI from the Player, you will have to do that in real-time on the destination track in your
host DAW, see “Getting the Player MIDI output onto a track in your DAW”.
Modulating MIDI Controllers from CV signals
The MIDI Out Device features eight CV inputs for routing modulation signals from the Reason Rack Plugin instance
to MIDI CC# of your choice. These MIDI CC# changes are then transmitted on the selected MIDI Channel of the
MIDI Out Device.
1. Flip the rack around and connect some modulation sources to the desired CV inputs:
2. Flip the rack back to the front and click the On button to activate the CV IN section:
CV signals routed to any of the four CV IN pairs are indicated by lit LEDs:
3. Click to select which CV IN pair to edit:
