Controlling Reason Running in ReWire Mode
If you use Reason in ReWire mode with another sequencer then it is possible to switch the ReMOTE ZeRO SL between
controlling your main sequencer and Reason, however this may require you to set up the ReMOTE ZeRO SL slightly
differently with Reason. All sequencers that use Sequencer Automap for control use USB port 2 to communicate with the
ReMOTE ZeRO SL. If your main sequencer and Reason are both listening for Automap data from the ReMOTE ZeRO SL on
port 2 then data which is intended for one program will also get passed to the other and cause unexpected
parameter changes.
If your main sequencer uses Automap Universal for mixer control i.e. if you use Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar or Tracktion,
there will be no problem as USB port 3 is used for communication between the Automap Universal Server and the
ReMOTE ZeRO SL, leaving port 2 free for communication with Reason. Simply set up Reason as instructed above and then
switch between the Automap Universal template (template 38) and the Reason Automap template (template 37) when you
want to switch from controlling your sequencer mixer or Automap-wrapped plug-ins to controlling Reason.
If you use Logic, Ableton Live, Pro Tools or Digital Performer as your main sequencer and run Reason in ReWire mode then
you will need to set up Reason so that it communicates with the ReMOTE ZeRO SL using USB port 3. Although port 3 is
reserved for communication between the ReMOTE ZeRO SL and the Automap Universal Server, the Automap system has
been designed so that the Server will ignore messages intended for Reason. Set up Reason as instructed above and then
carry out the following steps:
1
. Select the Reason Automap template (template 37) on the ReMOTE ZeRO SL and press the TEMPLATE button to
enter the Template menu.
2. Set ProgPort to ‘ComnPORT’.
3. Set ComnPort to ‘U3’.
4. Press WRITE three times to save the settings and then the PLAY mode button to return to Play mode.
5. Launch Reason and go to the ‘Control Surfaces and Keyboards’ page of the Reason preferences.
6. Click on the ReMOTE SL in the list to select it and then click ‘Edit’ to access its settings.
