I start reason and nothing happens. It always shows the starting screen . But the reason rack won't show up. Reason does not load. If I look into the task-manager it says that reason is "not responding".
Download the reason installer from the account section of the propellerhead website. (If you have the original CD then you can skip downloading and adjust these instructions appropriately). The installation files should be in a .zip file, you will need to extract these to a folder somewhere (right-click on the .zip file and select "Extract All...").
Its possible to have both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of reason installed simultaneously. Make sure that any shortcut you use to start Reason is starting the correct version - in Reason 6.5.3, both the 32-bit and 64-bit shortcuts in the start menu are given the name Reason, so its hard to distinguish between the two! You can check the shortcut you are using launches the correct version of Reason by verifying the installed directory - 32-bit Reason will install into a directory within "C:\Program Files (x86)\", while the 64-bit Reason will instal into "C:\Program Files\".
Now however I have another problem and that is that Rewire doesnt seem to work as it should. Reason recognizes that Rebirth is installed and I can add the module in reason and create a track but the "active" light does not come on as it should and Reasons sequencer does not control Rebirth.
That active light is key but I've found it to be a little flakey - sometimes it doesn't come on and its not clear why. Restarting reason without RB-338 running has got it working for me. The light comes on even without RB-338 running, and when the light is on, I can start RB-338 and it will work every time.
Finally, you could implement a dummy audio device which would route the audio to/from wherever you want or process it in some way.I imagine all of these would be reasonably difficult. MIDI is probably the easiest of the three (I have no idea how easy or hard the Rewire protocol is to use).
It used to bundle the Javadoc documentation as well, but for somereason their latest downloads don't include that. It's a pity, becausethat's where the Javascript bindings are documented. So, now you haveto browse the source or build the Javadoc yourself. (It has some built-in examples that are accessible from the scripting window, you should check them out first. My first example is from there.)
While the Combinator is the big story, it's not the only reason to love Propellerhead Reason 3. We flipped for the improved browser, which makes it easier to find just the patch or effect we want. You can now preview instruments and effects within the browser, making the selection much faster. You can also do a text search, to find, for example, everything related to the trumpet, no matter what sound bank folder it's in. Make your selection and Reason will automatically load the correct modules into your rack, whether a Combinator, a sampler, or a synth.
Some tips when going this route. Use the 7z archive format, not the zip file format, and use the AES-256 encryption method. There do exist brute-force password cracking applications for these files. For this reason, the longer the password you use, the more secure the file will be.
