CHAPTER 13. ROUTING AND I/O 171
4. The Output Channel chooser presents you with a list of the instruments that you
currently have in your Reason rack; select the instrument you want to address.
5. Select Reason from the audio track's Input Type chooser.
6. From the audio track's Input Channel chooser, select the audio channel that
corresponds to the instrument to which you are sending MIDI.
7. Set the audio track's Monitor radio button to In.
8. Select All Ins from the MIDI track's Input Type chooser.
9. Arm the MIDI track.
Now, any MIDI that you are playing into Live will arrive in Reason, which will generate the
corresponding audio back into the audio track, ready for further processing in Live's mixer
and effects. If you want to continue work on the project without reopening Reason, simply
record Reason's audio by arming the audio track and engaging Record Mode.
A similar procedure is possible with the External Instrument device. The following example
shows how to send MIDI from within a track's device chain and return the audio to the same
track:
1. First, start Live.
2. Then, start Reason and set up the Reason rack as desired.
3. Insert an External Instrument device into a MIDI track.
4. Select Reason from the External Instrument's rst MIDI To chooser.
5. The second chooser presents you with a list of the instruments that you currently
have in your Reason rack; select the instrument you want to address.
6. From the External Instrument's Audio From chooser, select the audio channel
that corresponds to the instrument to which you are sending MIDI.
7. Arm the MIDI track.
8. Adjust the External Instrument's Gain knob as necessary.
