Reason Rack Plugin Use

[JohnnyBee 67]

Am I understanding this correctly? I have Reason 12. Can I bring the rack into my other DAW as an instrument/effect? If so, how is that done? Please forgive what probably is to you an elementary question but I'm still new to this program.

Thanks

The YouTube channel has all the information that you might want for using RRP

Unless you did something silly during installation, there should be a VST3 (and maybe an AU if you own Mac) already installed. If you're on a Mac, you should immediately see it available in the VST library of your DAW (remember, though, VST3 only). If you're on a PC, well, there's a little dance that Reason makes you do to recognize the VST3 in your DAW.

And with the AU version, you can use RRP as an instrument, an effect, or Logic Pro MIDI FX

So, My other DAW is Cakewalk, which uses VSTs. So I can only use the effects but not the instruments?

If Cakewalk uses VST3, you can use the Reason Rack Plugin. Whether or not you can use it as an instrument and/or an effect is up to the architecture of Cakewalk. In Logic, you can use the RRP in three ways - as a MIDI processor (MIDI FX, e.g. Players), as an instrument (INPUT), or as an effect (AUDIO FX). Logic handles the distinction really well.

Just checked, as I have Cakewalk installed. You can use it as instrument and as FX. In the popup menu for inserting things on a track, Reason Rack is listed under 'insert softsynth' and under 'insert audio FX -> uncategorized'. If you have RRP insalled of course.

[JohnnyBee 67]

OK. I got it. Thanks, guys. As the Warlock said, it is listed under uncategorized. I suppose I can go in and customize the folder later if I want to but the important thing now is that it works for both FX and instruments. It's like having the best of both worlds together in one program.

I use Cakewalk with the RRP and everything works fine in it. There is one problem though, Cakewalk intercepts all key presses (on PC keyboard, not MIDI), so if you need to type something in a text field in the RRP, like rack device name, you have to type it somewhere else then use Copy/Paste.

I think if you right-click the Reason plugin in Cakewalk’s browser you can assign it to a different category.
