Adding a specific control surface or keyboard
If your specific MIDI keyboard/control surface model is featured in the list of supported surfaces in Reason you will
get even more functionality if you add it in the “Remote keyboards and control surfaces” section at the top - with
knobs/sliders/buttons already pre-assigned to parameters in Reason.
This is how you add your specific control surfaces - including the master keyboard.
1. Open the Preferences dialog and click the Control Surfaces tab.
2. If your control surface is connected via USB (or if you have made a two-way MIDI connection), try clicking the
Auto-detect Surfaces button.
Reason sends an ID request to all MIDI ports and checks for answers from any connected control surfaces. Note
that not all control surfaces support auto-detection.
! If a MIDI Port of your connected control surface/keyboard is already used by the Easy MIDI Inputs function
(see “Automatic set-up using the Easy MIDI Inputs function”), this detection will override this and automati-
cally remove the MIDI In Port from the Easy MIDI Inputs list.
