MPC 1000 & Reason 4

Can Reason 4 devices be used/triggered by the mpc 1000 via MIDI?

Sure they can. They can be triggered by anything that sends MIDI messages (including an MPC, of course).

Thank You

So the mpc works with reason. It triggers it but how come it wont record into Reason?

record what... midi notes?

Ya, midi notes. Its weird it plays in my MPC when reason is open and it won't record in reason. So I tryed to play it from my MPC record mode(main output) and that won't work. How do I create a song then if it doesn't record in reason or my mpc?

you'd have to set up the mpc as a device in reason preferences. Make sure Reason recognizes there is a device and its recieving midi.........then you can record midi notes inot reason. However if your are recording in reason AND also hit Record/play on the mpc and bang out patterns it's gonna record the SAME midi in two locations... (The cpu i.e. inside reason's sequencer, and also the MPC track)


decide what you prefer.........

1.) The cadence of the mpc timing........ (make IT the master)
2.) Record and edit midi sequences on cpu (reason) master


if its number two........you should've just got a midi controller the 1000 might of been overkill
