Using tempo/transport control in Reason to control DP

[miah8000]

Hi everyone,
I am working on a track in Reason 4 and I am trying to incorporate some hardware synths that I want to sequence in DP. The problem I am having is that the tempo track I made in Reason isn't controlling the tempo in DP. In the DP help/documentation, it says that if DP's tempo control is set to tempo slider, I can sync to Rewire tempo control. I set this up yesterday and it isn't working that way.

Has anyone had similar experiences to this situation? I haven't used DP much, but I find Reason a much easier environment to work in and if I can setup these controls in Reason I would really prefer it.

Any suggestions are certainly welcome.
Thanks,
Jeremiah

Hi

Go to the Propellerheads Support:

There is an article "Setting up MOTU Digital Performer as a ReWire host application". Reading it might help you.

You can also export Reason MIDI file and import it to DP.

Save yourself a headache, export the MIDI file into DP, and let DP control the tempo. If you learn how to use the sequencer in DP, I can guarantee that before long the Reason sequencer will start to seem very primitive. Definitely worth the effort.

I've tried many combinations with Reason over the years, and the one that seems to work best is to basically use it as a sound module rack, and do absolutely everything else from DP, including mixing.
