Setting up
Automatic set-up using the Easy MIDI Inputs function
By default Reason automatically scans and detects all available MIDI In port(s) on your computer. If you have a MIDI
keyboard or MIDI control surface connected to your computer, Reason automatically connects and lets you use it for
controlling Reason. This way you don’t have to do any manual set-up but can start controlling Reason right away.
At the bottom of the Control Surfaces tab in Preferences all currently available MIDI In Ports are listed:
All available MIDI In Ports on your computer are listed in the Easy MIDI Inputs list.
• The Easy MIDI Inputs function supports input of MIDI Note On/Off (with Velocity) as well as standard perfor-
mance controllers, such as Mod Wheel, Pitch Bend and Sustain Pedal.
You can also do manual Remote Overrides to assign Reason parameters to knobs/sliders/buttons on your control
keyboard/surface, see “Remote Override”.
D Deselect the Enabled box(es) to disable MIDI Ports you don’t want to be available for Reason.
For example, if you have a drum machine connected via USB to your computer, you might not want it to start send-
ing MIDI Note data to Reason, especially if it’s synced to MIDI Clock to Reason’s sequencer.
