Right, to use Reason Rack Plugin, you have to be in controller mode. When you're in controller mode, RRP notwithstanding, are you able to control your 23 hardware synths, samplers and drum machines and 2 analog filters, and 3 effects units connected via MIDI to your MPC X through your DAW?
You might try running your MPC X in standalone, controlling all of your hardware, but run a MIDI cable from your computer that has your DAW running Reason Rack Plugin, and slave your gear to your DAW. Should be able to assign a MIDI channel at that point to your **** in your DAW and Quad Note Generate the **** out of it.
Yes, all of my hardware works in controller mode with absolutely no issue. I only use my MPC for sequencing my MIDI and virtual instruments.
My usual beatmaking process is to start each composition with all my hardware instruments in standalone mode, then go into controller mode to add and virtual instruments, dynamics and effects that make a good fit for the joint I'm working on.
I then feed all of my instruments into my Tascam M2600 MK2 mixing console where I set up my tracking groups (1&2 Drums, 3 Bass 1, 4 Guitar, 5&6 Samples, 7&8 Synths) and then track my groups directly to analog tape with either my Otari MX5050 MK3 (Boom Bap, Funk, Soul, Jazz) or my Tascam 238 (Lo-Fi Hip Hop, or Lo-Fi House) and then from there I transfer my 8 tracks from tape to a DAW where I will do some additional processing using mostly analog modeled plugins and then after my final mix I render the file in preparation for my Mastering Engineer.
The Reason Rack Plugin doesn't seem to want to cooperate with MIDI Hardware from MPC's controller mode.
