Liquid Rhythm VST

[rogerc]

I've recently bought this to use with Reason but find that although the plugin is recognised when I start Reason, I can not use it, getting "failed to open file". It seems to work fine in Live. I contacted the manufacturers, who were sympathetic but said they couldn't guarantee it would work in Reason, being such a recent adopter of VST, but I thought that VST was a standard, so it should work in any VST host. Anyone else had experience of this?

Reason supports VST 2.4 64bit.

When you say Reason recognises it are you saying you see listed in Reason's browser?

What does it say under the "Manage Plugin" (found in the Window menu).

Yes is it 64bit?

As I understand it Reason doesn't accept MIDI from VST plugins, at least not yet. I'd love to be able to use Numerology inside of Reason.

Run it in jbridge.
1) Install jbridge
2) Install 32 bit versions of liquid rhythm and or liquid music
3) Run jbridge and create bridged files for liquid rhythm and or liquid music from the vst .dll's
4) Now when you run Reason the vst's will load.
5) Liquid Music is tagging the processor on my instance of Reason, but Liquid Rhythm works.
6) I am experimenting with different settings in jbridge to see if Liquid Music will run.
Please update if anyone had any other success.

The other way that I have successfully ran these two plugins is to load them into Reaper.
Then setup midi outputs on the devices in Reaper and send the midi over loop midi to Reason.
This works fine, but Liquid Rhythm will not loop. The loop settings are not available in the
Liquid Rythm VST, only the standalone. I mean really?

Finally I setup in Reaper both VSTs and mapped the midi back to Reason, but turned off the sync.
Now I just create the rough draft in Reaper because all looping and sync internally works.
Then I just hit record on Reason when done, or drop and drag the midi over.

Enjoy!

I use Bluecat Patchwork for that. I use scaler, instachord and instascale in Reason using Bluecat. Its expensive at 100 bucks but it also has a ton of effects and utilities you can drop right into your Bluecat chain.
