Reason Slave to Keystep Pro

[Barriott]

Hi,

Wondering if you could help me. I'm trying to sync reason with the Keystep pro (arturia).

I have a delay FX on one of the tracks which doesn't seem to sync. As a test i put the delay to 1/4 so that the delay arrives on the beat. Its off. And doesn't react to tempo changes. I think i'm doing everything right. The KSP is sending a clock. Reason is set to receive a clock and the sync mode is selected to MIDI clock.

I don't understand what i'm doing wrong

Please

Sounds like a latency issue. I use a Beatstep pro with Reason but haven't had an issue with it personally. I will have a poke around later on, see if I can come up with anything.

Do you have the keystep setup as the Midi Clock Sync Input in the Preferences/Sync Settings?

Yeah

Do you have a midi monitor program to check what midi is being received to the computer?
Typically you lose control of the transport when running as a midi slave - is transport being activated when you start the keystep?

Transport isn't being transported

So I've been playing around. If I set my KSP to send transport messages. It sends the tempo but it's unstable. I loaded up a rv2000 and set it to echo. The guide lines wobble by approx +-.2bpm. It creates pretty undesirable artifacts and warping sounds.

I don't have any midi monitoring. Recommend any?

Does reason have a recommended pulse input?

I think the ppq in Midi manager is just for the Analog clock outs, not sure it applies to Midi

Try to simplify things to identify if and where the problem lies - turn off/minimise notes, cc's etc.

It is never smooth sailing in my experience when it comes to midi sync. Lots of trial and error.
