I'm using Reason 11.3.9 and Logic 10.7 in Monterey. Automation parameters aren't showing up in Logic. (This has also happened to me with Arturia MiniFilter but no other plugins). Anyone know the solution here? Much appreciated!

I've since learned that this affects plugins from specific companies only: all Arturia plugins, Reason Rack plugin and also Omnisphere. Seems to be an issue regarding these plugins and Logic 10.7.3. I'm debating going back to 10.7.2 so it works again.

One thing - I'm on Reason 11.3.4. Curious if this same problem is happening with Reason 12. If not I might just upgrade Reason.

MIght there be Native - non native problems similar as to using 32 bit Vst's in a 64 bit daw???
Just wondering... I have Monterey also but I run straight in Reason.
Have you tried Garage Band???
I have it downloaded but haven't yet tried it...
Subtraction ?

Is this solved ? I can't automate efx in audio channels under LP11 and RRP 12.

Plenty of parameters for Subtractor, I'm guessing it's the same for all of Reason's devices.

With Instruments and even with efx in the RRP everything is fine and does work.
But I was talking about the audio channel and RRP fx Plugin.
No automation and no ext control is possible.

Not sure what you mean by "the audio channel". If you mean an audio track in Logic with an RRP FX plugin, that works fine for me too.

Yes, audio track … but as I said, for me that doesn‘t work. Very strange… :|

Does the automation move the virtual knobs/faders in the gui too, or does it only change the sound without a graphic change?
(Only with audio fx insert)
In my case exactly that happen and I think this is a bug. Hopefully RS solve that problem with the next version.

Another thing is, I noticed now that the knobs/faders are moving, but only when the sequencer is running. :thumbs_down:

Yes the knobs animate when there's automation.



But knobs/faders won't move if the sequencer isn't running. It's automation, it happens during playback. Not sure why you would expect them to.

Ah sorry, I forgot to say that I’m using a hardware controller (Nektar CS12) and with that I had find no way to move the knobs/faders (of the gui) via the controller. I think they should be movable, even when the DAW is not running(Play).
For automation you‘re right, should only move when the Song is playing.

Or maybe with other words, I can‘t control RRP fx Plugins with the CS12 and this is stupid, because thats exact what this controller is build for.
