Hi,

For some reason RPG-8 is not included in the MIDI Implementation Chart of Reason ...

After spending an hour or so I've found out the following for controlling RPG-8 via midi:
MIDI Contr. #07: Velocity
MIDI Contr. #12: Mode [0-4]
MIDI Contr. #13: Insert [0-4]
MIDI Contr. #16: Arperggiator Enable off/on [0/1]
MIDI Contr. #17: Octave [0-3]
MIDI Contr. #18: Single Note Repeat
MIDI Contr. #19: Shuffle off/on [0/1]
MIDI Contr. #21: Octave Shift [0-6]
MIDI Contr. #22: Free Rate
MIDI Contr. #26: Sync Rate
MIDI Contr. #27: Gate Length
MIDI Contr. #28: Pattern Step Count
MIDI Contr. #29: Pattern scheme [steps 1-7] (Binary form)
MIDI Contr. #30: Free / Sync [0/1]
MIDI Contr. #31: Hold off/on [0/1]
MIDI Contr. #42: Velocity Fixed/Manual [0/1]

The above information is needed if one uses Reason with an external sequencer (with Rewire) such as Cubase for example.
What's incomplete (but very important, at least for me) is the manipulation of the pattern scheme with the controller #29 which it manipulates the first 7 steps of the Pattern scheme ... just as I'm writing this I figured out that the only solution for now is to change the pattern through Reason's automation which is very detailed indeed!, giving all the values from -32768 to 32767. That means that if one never used Reason sequencer before, like me, in this he will have to in order to change the pattern if he needs to ...

However, if anyone finds out how to manipulate the pattern via MIDI I will appreciate it if he let me know ...

joy, love & peace,
n
