ROUTING MIDI TO REASON
44
Sending MIDI Data from
Other Applications
Using ReWire 2
The preferred method for sending MIDI data into Reason from another applica-
tion is by using ReWire (version 2 or later). In this way no additional system ex-
tension or utility is required, simply launch the applications and set them up so
that MIDI is transmitted from the host (the “other” program) to the slave (Rea-
son).
More about this on page 47.
Mac OS 9 - Using OMS
If the application you want to use together with Reason is not ReWire compati-
ble or if it only is compatible with ReWire version 1, you can instead use OMS to
send MIDI from the application into Reason. To do this you need to have the
OMS IAC (Inter Application Communication) driver installed.
! Note that the IAC driver is not installed with the “Easy Install” op-
tion in the OMS installer. If you have installed OMS using this op-
tion, you need to perform a Custom installation, where the IAC
driver can be selected (ticked) separately.
Installing more than one IAC Port
Once the IAC driver is installed, it is shown in your OMS Studio Setup dialog.
Up to four IAC ports can be defined.
1. Double click on the IAC Driver symbol.
2. Name as many ports as you require (up to four).
3. Close the dialog.
4. Save your OMS Studio Setup.
The OMS IAC port naming dialog.
Selecting IAC busses in Reason’s MIDI Preferences.
Setting up communication between two applications
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
receive 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 channel at
a time.
