Sequencer Control
The Sequencer Control CV In and Gate In inputs allow you to play the External MIDI Instrument device from another
CV/Gate device (typically a Matrix or an RPG-8). The signal to the CV In controls the note pitch, while the signal to
the Gate In delivers note on/off along with velocity. There are also inputs for modulating the Pitch Bend and Mod-
Wheel parameters.
Assignable CC
This CV input (with associated trim pot) can modulate the CC Assign knob. The affected MIDI Controller is defined
with the CC Assign up/down arrow buttons, see “Recording MIDI Controller automation”.
! Note that only positive unipolar CV values are detected and transmitted to the CC Assign knob. Negative CV
values are disregarded.
Tips & Tricks
Audio recording of MIDI controlled external instruments
At some point you will probably want to record the audio from your MIDI controlled instrument onto an audio track in
the Reason sequencer. The example below assumes that you have already recorded the note clips that control your
MIDI instrument on an External MIDI Instrument track in the sequencer.
! Depending on how you are monitoring the audio when you are recording, there will be different audio latency
times, see “Recording Latency Compensation”.
1. If you haven’t already, connect your MIDI instrument’s audio output(s) to the desired audio input(s) on the au-
dio interface you are using with Reason.
2. Create an Audio Track in the sequencer.
3. Select the appropriate audio interface input(s) in the “Select Audio Input” drop-down list in the sequencer
track list:
