4. Open the MIDI input pop-up for the MIDI Input port(s) that should re-
ceive the incoming MIDI, and select the LB port that you set up in
step 3.
Note that the Sequencer Port only receives MIDI on one selected chan-
nel at a time.

Routing MIDI to Devices
Depending on your MIDI interface, up to four separate ports, each with 16
channels, can be routed to Reason’s External Control inputs. The following
applies regarding setting up the External Control buses:
➜ One port/device can be routed to each separate Bus input.
Simply select the port/device using the appropriate Bus pop-up menu in
the External Control section. One port/device can be routed to several
Bus inputs.
➜ When you have routed several MIDI ports/devices to corresponding
External Buses, you use the Bus Select switch in the MIDI In Device
to select a Bus (A-D) for editing the channel to device routing etc.
If you would like to use an external sequencer to control Reason, there are
basically two scenarios that could apply:
➜ You have a “stand-alone” hardware sequencer or sequencer soft-
ware installed on another computer.
In this case, you should route the MIDI output from the sequencer (or the
MIDI interface on the “other” computer) to the MIDI input on the interface
connected to Reason. You should choose the External Control bus in-
puts for the incoming MIDI. This data is then routed to devices via Rea-
son’s MIDI In device.
➜ You have sequencer software installed on the same computer as
Reason.
This requires the “OMS IAC Driver” under MacOS, or Hubi’s Loopback
Device (or similar) under Windows, as explained in the previous section
of this chapter.
