MIDI sync-ing 424 with Reason

[jeffry]

Hi, I am totally new to this and I was wondering if anyone would provide a step by step walk through of how to Sync reason adapted with my tascam 424 mk2.
I have an M-audio ozone midi controller. Please tell me what cables I need and what software and any other hardware.

also, if there is anyone out there familiar with the Ozone, I'd really like to know how to make the knobs control what I want them to control in Reason (i.e. SubTractor's LFO2 rate or amount). I can't seem to figure that out for the life of me.

thanks!

All you do for the Ozone and Reason to work together, is to plug it in via USB and than assign keys/knobs to on the keyboard to what you want in Reason.

You only need to complete a few simple steps to control Reason from an external controller. (The following will work for all versions of Reason.) First, enter the Preferences panel (Windows and Mac OS 9: Edit > Preferences; Mac OSX: Reason menu > Preferences) and select the Advanced MIDI tab. Next, select the driver for your desired MIDI device in the Remote Control dropdown box. Lastly, enter the Options menu and make sure that Enable MIDI Remote Mapping is selected. You’re now ready to map controllers to settings in Reason.

From the Options menu, select Edit MIDI remote mapping. Green arrows will appear on the Reason rack to indicate the controls that are MIDI assignable. If you click on them, a dialog box will appear. You should map Reason’s knobs and sliders to a controller capable of sending MIDI messages 0-127. If you know the channel and controller number, you may enter them into the fields provided. If you do not know this information, simply check the “learn from MIDI” box and adjust the desired knob or fader on your hardware controller. Reason will detect which controller it is, and map the value to that controller.

In the case of a button that represents an on/off value, such as a mute or solo, you can enter a note from your control surface if note information is available. You can either type the note into the note field, or check “learn from MIDI” and then tap the key you wish to assign. After you have assigned all the desired fields, go back to the Options menu and deselect Edit MIDI remote mapping. The assignments you just set up will now work as you move the controllers.


Tascam 424 with Reason I dont know a whole lot about it but, by the looks of that thread you'll need a midi converter.
