Hi all,
[Reason 3.0.5 and Live 6.0.10]

I'll keep this short:

• I set up a midi track in Live to send to a synth in Reason.
  Armed the track and began recording notes in Live.
  Reason's synth responded as I played the notes without a problem.
  I then turn off recording for that midi track and go to play back the loop.
  Reason's synth responds unpredictably to the note data...

Let's say i recorded a short loop with 3 quarter notes: As it loops, Reason might not play anything; or it might play one of the notes but hold that notye forever.
If i click on the midi notes in the midi editor in Live, it will play the notes in the reason synth fine. It's only during playback of the loop. I've tried it with all of the synths and samplers in reason.

Everything seems set up correctly since Reason responds correctly to note data from Live when recording or previewing individual notes. And the audio from Reason to live is set up correctly because it comes through. Sounds like some kind of strange conflict.

Searched the forum, can't find an answer. Thanks in advance for any help!

hey, I'm having the exact same problem. I can hear my combi play as I record, but when I go to play it back via the midi I've recorded in live, I mostly hear nothing, every once in a while a note. I've noticed that if the reason input track is set to auto for monitoring, it *seems* to play just fine (the level meters are jumping around where they should be), yet when monitoring is set to *in*, mostly dead air, the occasional sound. I've tried everything I know, including disabling my keyboard in reason so only live is using it to no avail.

I have figured out a workaround though; first, you'll need to get mid yoke from http://www.midiox.com. It's a virtual midi patch bay that I used to use for Bome's mouse keyboard (also a great program, beats the piss out of Live's keyboard). Set your midi track to send to midi yoke nt 1 and set reason's advanced midi to receive on bus a from midi yoke nt 1. On the hardware interface select your channel to input to and voila.

BE CAREFUL, however, to avoid using the channel that your keyboard\controller runs on, or you can start a midi feedback loop. D'oh.

If anyone knows an actual solution to this problem though, I'd love to hear it....

I just got an answer. Supposedly, Reason doesn't support Multicore/Multiproccessor. So if you are having this problem, in Live's preferences, go to the CPU tab and click Multicore/Multiproccessor Support OFF. My problem went away immediately.

that really sucks. thanks for the info though!
