Numerical controls
In Reason devices, numerical values are often displayed in numerical displays with “spin controls” (up/down arrow
buttons) on the side. Some parameter values, such as oscillator and LFO waveforms, are displayed graphically in the
displays. There are two ways of changing values in these types of controls:
D By using the up and down buttons on the spin controls.
To adjust a value in single steps, click on its up or down arrow button. To scroll a value continuously, click on an ar-
row button and keep the mouse button depressed.
D By clicking and holding the mouse button depressed in the actual display and then dragging the mouse up or
down.
This allows you to make coarse adjustments very quickly.
Menus and alpha-numeric controls
In Reason, alpha-numeric values and/or device presets are displayed in alpha-numeric readouts with “spin controls”
(up/down arrow buttons) on the side. There are two ways to change alpha-numeric/preset values:
D By using the up and down buttons on the spin controls.
To scroll continuously, click on an arrow button and keep the mouse button depressed.
D By clicking and holding the mouse button depressed in the actual alpha-numeric display and selecting from
the list that appears.
This allows you to make coarse adjustments very quickly or to immediately change to a preset anywhere in the list.
q This type of control is used to select, e.g., patch and reverb algorithms and some oscillator waveforms.
Tool Tips
If you hover with the mouse over a control on a device panel and wait a moment, a tool tip appears. The tool tip shows
the name of the parameter associated with that control and its current value. This helps you fine-tune settings, set
several parameters to the same value, etc.
D You can turn off the Tool Tips function by deactivating the option “Show parameter value tool tip” in the
Settings dialog (see “Show parameter value tool tip”).
