Hi everyone,

I've googled it, read articles, watched the youtube videos, but I'm still getting nowhere...

I can't control my external synth (Moog Sub Phatty) in Reason. When I set it all up, I see in the RPG8 that the notes are cycling through the chord I play, but from the audio I'm only hearing one note. So I feel like my Code is controlling the Sub Phatty at a basic level, but Reason isn't properly telling it what to do. I'm pretty new at this stuff and don't totally get CC channels, MIDI in/out, CV, etc.

Here are my specs:

Moog Sub Phatty
Reason 9.5
M-Audio Code
Propellerhead Balance interface

I'd love any help I can get.

Thanks and peace!!!

Make sure that you’ve got the subphatty selected as the MIDI device. Check that it’s the correct channel. Place the RPG 8 as you would with an internal Reason device.

Press a key on the midi controller, and make sure that gate and cv are setup properly to go to the EMI.

Hopefully after checking all these it works for you!
DAW: Reason 12

SAMPLERS: Akai MPC 2000, E-mu SP1200, E-Mu e5000Ultra, Ensoniq EPS 16+, Akai S950, Maschine

SYNTHS: Mostly classic Polysynths and more modern Monosynths. All are mostly food for my samplers!
