The external instrument device only links an audio channel to a midi channel. I think it also can add a program change. I don’t know if it utilizes Sysex. I would break out the Ableton manual and go step by step. Sorry I don’t own a MS2000 so I can’t be totally sure if that device has a glitch when being set up like this (it shouldn’t).

hi oliver, this is a great share but mine doesnt seem to work with my ms2000… Is this save preset option made for sysex messages>? Because it asks for none from a device like mine. Myabe doing something wrong?

That is a great upgrade indeed! Yet i wonder if it is possible to rewire reason to ableton using only one midi channel. As in, i write notes on ableton and reason synths play it? As if i was adding an instrument to a midi channel

I don’t bother trying to recall the settings on the DRM. Once I get to a certain point where I am happy I just record it as audio.

I’m sure its cool with the DRM you got yourself, how you saving your presets and patches for it by the way, sysex/dump?
