Reason 3.0 won't record from midi input
#1
Hey I have had this problem recurring with reason3.0. The problem is that I can't record the sequence of notes straight from my keyboard. I can play everything fine in reason like I can press notes on my keyboard and the sound comes through reason and records etc... but when I press the record button and try and record that into the sequencer track it doesn't save it for some reason.... When I go into edit mode and press the keys in the sequencer window whilst it's recording and playing it saves it fine. But when i press notes on my external keyboard it doesn't add any saved notes in there.

I thought it might be a problem with my hardware so I used a virtual midi keyboard and midiyolk drivers to test that theory but it doesn't record with that either.

I have found a solution by rewiring reason into cubase and then using cubase's sequencer and midiyolk to play notes in reason when it's recording but I don't want to have cubase open every time I just want to use reason.

It's sorta annoying that I can't work this out by myself.

Here's what reason looks like when i TRY to record a track.

Guys...

I happened to lose 2 song files today. I made an attempt to save the song file using the tool bar instead of the prompt before opening a new song. I am now getting this message when I try and load the song;

This operation could not be completed because of a media related problem.

Can anyone help? Can I send the file and see if you can bring it up on your computer. If so, maybe when you save and send it back it will be restored?

Help!!!!!!

Okay so I'll post here how to solve this problem.

Go
1. Edit -> Preferences -> Control Surfaces and Keyboards
2. Add a new keyboard like this:

Manufacturer:
Model: Basic MIDI Keyboards
Name: (add any name you want)
MIDI input: Select your correct MIDI input device or use Find

Press OK
If the "Use with Reason" slot is empty, mark it.

Working.

I also have a Yamaha and when I record, perhaps only one note out of 6 will be recorded. The note also sounds "sticky", like it is being held down. I tried what Beathawk suggested, but it made no difference. Is my problem a hardware or software issue? It's driving me nuts!
