Rendering notice: It was noticed, that it is impossible to render with ASIO (Presonus AudioBox ASIO) enabled, as it renders with tons of overloads and spikes. It is advised to try rendering with default audio driver with maximal possible latency.

### Propellerhead Reason
Add a VCV-Bridge or VCV-Bridge-fx from within Reason's browser or device menu to the rack. The added device will default to receiving from Bridge port 1; you may change this by opening the CV Programmer panel on the VST rack device, setting any of the assignable parameters to the "Port" option, and changing that parameter's Base Value. (Note that the Base Value is scaled from 0-100, not 1-16 as port selection is.) After the Bridge device is added, open VCV Rack and ensure that the Fundamental Audio module's output is set to Bridge, and the correct Port is chosen.

You may then use Reason's MIDI input to "play" Rack via any of the Fundamental MIDI devices, assuming the MIDI device is set to receive from Bridge and the appropriate Port. You may also use Reason's CV sequencers (e.g. Matrix Pattern Sequencer) as long as the Note or CV and Gate outputs are connected to the appropriate CV and Gate inputs of the VST device in Reason's rack in the same manner.

Additionally, you may of course assign any of the available parameter slots to any of Bridge's CC inputs to pass CV modulation data to Rack to be used through MIDI-CC or similar devices. The "Learn" option within Reason's VST device is not usable due to the nature of VCV Bridge acting as an intermediary between Reason and VCV Rack, as Reason cannot communicate with Rack directly to observe CC parameter changes.

You may also use audio-rate signals from within Reason to VCV Rack or vice versa for a truly modular approach, but since VCV Rack and Reason do not use compatible voltage standards, you must use interpreting devices. Pitch signals are best translated between the two using Expert Sleepers' Silent Way voice controller, which available for both [VCV Rack](https://vcvrack.com/plugins.html#expert%20sleepers%20silent) and [Reason](https://www.propellerheads.com/shop/rack-extension/silent-way-voice-controller/) as an add-on purchase. Control signals can be interpreted bidirectionally within Reason by using Robotic Bean's CV-I (Audio to CV) and CV-O (CV to Audio) Rack Extensions, also available as a [separate purchase](https://www.propellerheads.com/shop/product_bundle/cv-io-bundle/).

### REAPER
Right-click in the REAPER Track Control Panel (underneath the main toolbar, to the left of the Arrange area). Select "Insert virtual instrument on new track...". Locate "VCV Bridge" in your VST or VSTi folders. Select the 32- or 64-bit version of VCV Bridge per your own preferences and REAPER flavor. (If desired, you can also insert the VCV Bridge into an existing track by clicking the FX button for the track.)
