How to rewire Max/Msp into Reason or other DAW's...Noob need help!!!
I have a basic step sequencer patch where I use a makenote thats controlled by a keyboard pattern thats stored in a coll but my question is how would I replace the makenote so instead of crappy max/msp midi piano I could use reason or something like that...if my patch is needed for posting I shall.
First I have to disagree on the "crappy" part, I fail to see what's so bad about it since it helps you to get the job done.
Second; if you have external midi equipment then you can use objects such as midiin to grab that data and utilize it.
Setting up Max as a ReWire master ('mixer') is done through the rewire~ object. It can grab audio streams, check the available audio clients and send/receive midi.
I think this patch may give you a good example as to how to do this:
I wrote this back in the time when I only had a M4L license but no Max license; I kinda used this to "abuse" things a little by giving me more control over the runtime than my license would actually allow me ;-) (not so spectacular; but in the runtime you normally can't open the dsp window for example).
Anyway; the only 2 connectors which I didn't use are the ones for transport messages and midi events. Should be easy to go on from here.
