Enabling/disabling Performance Controls
To the bottom right of the panel is a drop-down list that features all standard MIDI Performance Controllers (Pitch
Bend/Mod Wheel/Breath/Expression Pedal/Sustain Pedal/Aftertouch) for the selected instrument.
• The check boxes in the drop-down list allow you to control whether MIDI Performance Controller data is to be
received for each instrument device in a Combi.
• If you deactivate any of the Performance Controllers, the corresponding controller(s) will not be received by
the selected instrument device.
All Performance Controllers are on by default.
Setting Velocity Ranges for instrument devices
When instrument devices are set up so that their key ranges overlap – completely or partially – you can use velocity
switching to determine which devices should be played back depending on how hard or soft you play on your MIDI
keyboard.
This is done by setting up velocity ranges.
Each time you press a key on your MIDI keyboard, a velocity value between 1-127 is sent to Reason. If you press the
key softly, a low velocity value is sent and if you press it hard, a high velocity value is sent.
This velocity value determines which devices will be played and which will not.
1. Select an instrument device in the Device list (non-instrument devices, e.g. effects and mixers do not have ve-
locity ranges).
By default, the entire range is selected (0 - 127).
There are several ways you can change the current Velocity Range:
D By clicking in the “Lo” and “Hi” value fields and moving the mouse up or down.
D By moving the handles of the horizontal bar.
D By dragging the horizontal bar itself you can also move entire Velocity Range.
2. When you have set a range, the device will only be triggered by notes played within this velocity range.
