trying to use reasons 5 as a sound module on mpc 1000

IM TRYING TO USE REASONS 5 AS A SOUND MODULE ON MY MPC 1000, IVE WATCHED COUNTLESS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE, BUT NOTHING WORKS AT ALL.... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME...

WHAT I HAVE IS AN MPC 1000, MACBOOK PRO, REASON 5 SOFTWARE, MIDI CORD, AND AN AXIOM 25 AS MY CONTROLLER...

THANK U

"Reasons".......... that shit cracks me up........

What I want to know is...

What do they call it if they've got more than one copy?

I bought that online handbook but it's telling me that I need an audio interface, but I see videos on YouTube of people using reason software as a sound module without an audio interface. So is it possible to do it with the audio interface... Can someone give me a step step way to set it up with an audio interface ?

midi your axiom to the mpc, go thru "advanced midi" section in reasons (setup in properties pull down menu & on device in the rack).... assign device in reason to midi channel, assign proper midi channel on mpc track, enjoy

in all honesty there is a sheet TON of topics on this site alone covering this topic.........as well as the numerous threads on other forums and youtube vids.........

watch, read, listen carefully, you are obviously doing something incorrect.........

true, but homeboy's answer lies somewhere in-between all the available info out there

still nothing....

heres how i go it hooked up i have my axiom 25 (midi out) to my mpc 1000 (midi in)
my reason software advanced settings is " external control : bus a: axiom 25 port 1.. i can here the sounds on my comp but my mpc is not picking up the sounds therefore not recording them... so whats going on then ?

the mpc is picking up the sounds from reason software only when i have it in record mode ( mode + pad5)

do i need an audio interface

yo. i use FL from time to time as a sound source for VST's when im stuck for sounds.

Hope you got OS1 for a start. makes life easier having mmc and PC / Prog controls for midi.


I have my mpc hooked upto mixer. mixer goes to audio interface, interface to PC.


for midi
Midi keyboard to mpc, mpc to audio interface or midisport.

now.

Audio interface will play the vst sound right, so i have my audio interface outputs going into the mixer, and a subsend on the mixer going back to my mpc.

My main speakers i run out of my mixer.

This way you hear both the mpc and the PC through the mixer, all you need do now is send the pc sound down a subgroup to the mpc inputs and record.

Hope you have a mixer!

theres a great diagram out there somewhree if i find it i'll be sure to link you.


edit: just read the OP. You need an audio interface. haha
