Initial test feedback…

Thanks for testing.

I tested Podium with Reason adapted (an older version). It picked up Reason ok, but whenever Reason would get to the end of a loop it would hang during playback. It’s like It would not loop at all, even though moving the loop points in either Reason or Podium were always in perfect sync. Playback in Podium carried on though.

Please try this again with the new beta2. I’ve made a change that may fix this looping problem.

I noticed that Reason did not start up automatically after I dragged the Mix mapping for it to a track, is this a Reason limitation?

The Reason 4 demo I’m using opens up automatically.

I set Project 5 to only show one Rewire output and it showed up in Podium as L.

Reason main outs appear as “Mix” to further rmuddy the waters. 😛 I am guessing it is the applications that are causing the disparity with the naming of outputs but I am not an expert on ReWire so you tell me. 😐

The mono channel labels come from the ReWire devices. In beta2 I’ve changed the way I combine mono labels for stereo pairs. E.g. “mix” will now read “mix L+R” etc.

Back to Merge project though…how else would a user add Rewire devices to an older project? Is Merge Project the only suggested way? Or do you have something else in mind to add there? Works perfectly well and is instant FWIW.

The beta2 has a new “Import ReWire Devices” command in the devices menu on the start page.

Furthermore in beta2:

• Record-enabling a ReWire MIDI mapping track will record parameter tracks of control changes made in the ReWire device window, provided that the ReWire device supports MIDI output.

I haven’t have time to test it yet, but DrumCore uses ReWire and there is a demo at; http://www.submersiblemusic.com/TemplateMain.aspx?contentId=65

Try it if you like…

I tried the DrumCore LT version. It seemed to work ok. I am not too impressed with the product installation though. There seems to be no way to uninstall DrumCore. I saw an unanswered post about this from another user on their forum. I hate the fact that I have to do a Vista reinstall or tamper with the registry just to clean out Drumcore. 😡

Edit: I found that my Windows had created a System Restore point from earlier today. After reverting to that, DrumCore is removed from the registry.
