Proceed as follows:
1. Open the OMS MIDI Setup dialog in OMS Setup and make sure that
“Run MIDI In Background” is enabled.
2. Launch Reason.
It is important that you launch Reason after making changes to OMS, or
the changes you have made will not be available.
3. Set up the other program so that it transmits MIDI to an OMS IAC
port.
4. In Reason, open the MIDI section of the Preferences dialog.
5. Open the MIDI input pop-up for the MIDI Input port(s) that should re-
ceive the incoming MIDI, and select the IAC port that you set up in
step 3.
Note that the Sequencer Port only receives MIDI on one selected chan-
nel at a time.
Sending MIDI Data from another Application
under Windows
To send MIDI from another application installed on the same computer as
Reason, you need to install HLD (Hubi’s Loopback Device) which is included
on your program CD.
! Note that there are other MIDI routing utilities available apart from
HLD. These may work just as well, so if you have such a utility al-
ready installed you could try using that instead.
! HLD will not run under NT/2000.
➜ To install, locate the folder “HLD” on your program CD, open the
“How to install HLD.hlp” file inside the folder, and follow the in-
structions given.
During the final stage of the installation process you can activate as
many buses as you need (up to four). When you are done, a computer
reboot is required.
Setting up communication between two applications
Proceed as follows:
1. Launch Reason.
2. Set up the other program so that it transmits MIDI to a HLD port (by
default named “LB” plus a number).
3. In Reason, open the MIDI section of the Preferences dialog.
