Absynth Rtas

Hello computer music people.

Can anyone tell me how to use absynth in protools.

I have downloaded a file called "ABSYNTH 2 RTAS Mac OS X Update.sit"

I think this makes Absynth 2.0.4 into a plugin for protools.

How do I connect it??? I know how to use normal audiosuite plugins. I place the unstuffed file into the

Protools pluginalias folder with all the other audiosuite plugs. I don't know what comes next, and all the manuals

I can find assume knowledge of plugin connections, which I dont have.

Please can someone help me.

Thanks V much,

Chris.

Using Reason As A Live Sampler/synth

Hello fellow MacMusicians,

Does anyone know how to use midi controllers to select actual synths and samplers in reason??? The track pad on my laptop is too fiddly for live performance as I need pretty quick changes. I have a Roland RD-500 connected to my G3 powerbook. The 12 sound bank buttons (with 10 variations each - approx 128 choices) on my Roland RD-500 selects the sounds in Absynth, but I don't know how to get these same 12 buttons to operate in a similar way with Reason. ie, choose either a NN-19 or a Subtractor with sounds all preset and ready to go.
I also have a midi FX selector pedal (Pedals: Up, Down ,1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. withone midi out) that I hardly use. Can this be used with the setup?

Looking forward to your solutions or suggestions.
