HELP I am a MIDIOT
Can anyone help me the set up of my midi controller/keyboard so that it works with REASON rewired thru PT? The keyboard is a M-Audio Keystation 49e. It is plug and play compatable when I connect it via USB windows XP sees it and set it up. I am not able to set it up to work in REASON. I am a complete beginner with midi. Everything I have done before is audio only. Thanks for any help. It is pretty frustrating..There are so many soft synths out there that I would like to be able to try out plus the drum programming capability.

Re: HELP I am a MIDIOT
spkguitar,
I too am a Guitarist, of which I love someones quote "I am a guitarist, Midi is my enemy!" So i've checked out all your suggestions on your website for using MIDI with Xpand! My Problem, I can't hear the sounds out of xpand. Setup - My midi keyboard is cabled to my Projectmix's midi input, I can see the midi light on the PM I/O activate when I push a key down on the keyboard, So I know it is getting information. BUT, Heres something funny. I record myself playing something on the track - not hearing any sounds. When I stop recording, all the midi notes are there. upon playback, I can now hear the sounds coming out of Xpand! So to summarize, no sounds at rest or during recording, only upon playback. Makes it hard to play along with something unless I can hear it real time. Thanks for your speedy reply. Jason |

ya know when you finally figure something out, It feels good, even if you accidentally come across it. I chose the MIDI THROUGH under the setup menu. And viola! I could suddenly hear all the sounds. A whole new world of MIDI lies ahead.

Re: HELP I am a MIDIOT
"I am a guitarist, Midi is my Friend!" I've routed MIDI through Protools to Reason, Ableton Live and even ReBirth. The trick is called "MIDI Yoke". It gives you 8 virtual midi patches. You need to disable them as inputs to ProTools or else you get lock ups.
