How to control Predator-RE Pitch & Gate via Thor Sequencer?

[tomoe97]

I can't figure out how to control Predator-RE's Pitch & Gate via Reason's Thor Step Sequencer. With other Reason synths, it's easy: connect Thor's Step Sequencer Note and Gate outputs to the destination synth's Sequencer Control CV and Gate inputs. It also works this way on the Korg Polysix rack extension. However, on the back of Predator-RE, there are 4 CV inputs and 6 Gate inputs (Arpeggiator, Trance-Gate, Envelope 1, Envelope 2, LFO 1, and LFO 2). I have tried connecting Thor's Gate output to Predator-RE's Gate inputs and then Thor's Note output to Predator-RE's CV 1 input, then routing CV 1 as a source to Main Pitch in Predator-RE's modulation section. However, this doesn't trigger any notes in Predator-RE, so something must be missing.

Any suggestions?

Hi there

Proper gate / note in, is something we need to add to Predator-RE, so it'll be in next update.

Cheers

This is great to hear! I discovered that one way around this problem in the short term is to add Predator-SE to a Combinator and route Thor's Step Sequencer Note and Gate out to the Combinator's Note and Gate inputs. I've tried it and it works!
