recording notes in reason

i have my mpc 1000 sync'd up to reason and its all working fine except i cant record what i play on my mpc in the reason sequencer.
do i need a keyboard?


also im sure these sorts of questions get a bit annoying, but please help

record in the mp not reason..

so are you saying i cant record my notes in reason with an mpc only?

if you mean midi notes yes u can, make sure the track i record enbled, your mp is set to right midi channel and you set the mp in reason up correct as a controller under prefences screen

tried many different setting combinations on the mpc and in reason with no such luck. also looked at old threads and tutorial vids still cant figure it

its plays all instruments fine, sync's up, controls the arrangement ect. just when i try and record what i play no midi notes show up.

will screen shots of my settings help

at the top f the reason rack u have the rewire panel, click "adv. midi option" drop down menu appears, select channel 1a to be on the instumemt u want, change midi prgm in mp to 1a and boom ur set

i cant link from my phone but i know youtube has mpc reason tutorials

no thats not for what he is trying to do...

have you setup your midi in EDIT>PREF>Keyboards And Control Surfaces..? i just setup mine to see what your problem is and it worked fine i was recording notes in reason... set your midi output on the mpc to 1A and it should be sending midi to reason. and if your tracks are armed it should record..

i already told him to check and make sure his mp was set in prefences in my first post, both ways will work

Ok..I use cubase for that.. rewired reason to cubase. I trigger all vsts and reason and cubase sounds with the mp. It's so dope man.. I'm using a 5k so I'm latching and doing crazy stuff. Just latching 2 like a snare and a clap. Try 1/4 3 and 60+ gate and adjust swing. Makes a cool break beat.

I re installed reason just in case. but this time i added the mpc as a multichannel midi keyboard, not a midi control surface. success!

and it turns out to record what i play i sync to the reason internal clock not the mpc's clock

also ghosty that sounds sweet i must give it a try

thanks for the help
