Novation
ReMOTE series
! This description below does NOT apply to the ReMOTE SL series of
control surfaces. Support for ReMOTE SL is provided with Nova-
tion's Automap Universal installer, included with the keyboard or
available from the Novation web site.
Requirements/Setting up:
This model can be used with the ReMOTE 25 and other keyboards
in the Novation ReMOTE series.
Please use the latest operating system for the ReMOTE keyboard -
see www.novationmusic.com for details.
To use the ReMOTE with Reason, you need to connect it via USB or
two-way MIDI.
Make sure the ReMOTE isn't write protected: press "Global", make
sure the memory protect page is shown in the display and use the
"Data/Value" knob to select "off".
When you add the ReMOTE in Reason, you must select the correct
MIDI output on the MIDI Output Port menu in the Add Control Sur-
face dialog. Reason will then upload a template to the edit buffer in
the ReMOTE.
q If you like, you can then save these settings to any template mem-
ory location on the ReMOTE by pressing “Write”. If you do this, you
can also set which template the ReMOTE should show each time
you turn it on: select the saved template, press "Global" and press
"Write".
About the controls:
The controls are named as follows:
The sliders/faders to the right are called Slider 1-8. The buttons be-
low these are called Button 1-8.
The top row of knobs are called Knob 1-8. The buttons below these
are called Button 9-16.
The bottom left row of rotary encoders are called Rotary 1-8. The
buttons below these are called Button 17-24.
About the default mapping:
D The transport buttons control the corresponding transport func-
tions in Reason.
D Reason supports channel pressure (aftertouch) of the ReMOTE key-
board, but the result depends on the settings for the controlled de-
vice.
D The X/Y touch pad isn't mapped to any parameters by default, but
you can map it freely using Remote Overrides.
Note that there are two control surface items for each axis - you can map the
touch pad to four different Reason parameters (two for the X-axis and two for
the Y-axis).
D Buttons 23-24 are used for Target Previous/Next Track (move mas-
ter keyboard input up or down in the track list).
D For devices with patches, buttons 15-16 select the previous/next
patch.
D For effect devices, button 22 controls the Bypass/On/Off state.
D For most devices, the Data/Value rotary (below the display) is
mapped to master level.
However, on the two mixers the master level is controlled by Slider 8.
D Mixer 14:2
There are two keyboard shortcut variations, determining which mixer channels
are controlled (ch 1-7 or ch 8-14). The faders control level, the rotaries con-
trol pan, the buttons control mute and solo and the knobs control Aux send 1.
D Malström
There are two keyboard shortcut variations. In the first variation the knobs,
buttons and rotaries are mapped to parameters for Oscillator 1 and 2 respec-
tively, while the sliders control the filter parameters. In the second variation,
the knobs, buttons and rotaries control the modulators and additional oscilla-
tor settings, while the sliders control additional filter and shaper parameters.
D Redrum
There are two keyboard shortcut variations, determining which drum channels
are controlled (drum 1-8 or drum 9-10). Button 9-12 and 17-20 select pat-
tern; button 13-14 and 21-22 select bank.
D Matrix
Button 9-12 and 17-20 select pattern; button 13-14 and 21-22 select bank.
D BV-512 Vocoder
Knobs 1-7, 9 and 22 control the panel parameters. The sliders control the
band levels. Use keyboard shortcut variations to select which vocoder bands
to control.
