Options menu
Internal/MIDI Clock/ReWire/Send MIDI Clock
These four options are used to specify which type of tempo synchronization you want to use:
• Internal
When this is activated, the program is not synchronized to any external source. It plays in the tempo set on the
Transport Panel.
• MIDI Clock
When this is activated, the program is synchronized to external MIDI Clock, as set up in the Preferences|Advanced
dialog. The tempo setting on the Transport Panel is of no relevance; Reason plays in the tempo of the incoming
MIDI Clock signals. See “Synchronization and Advanced MIDI” for more details.
•ReWire
When this is activated, Reason is synchronized to another application via ReWire. This is not a setting that you can
activate yourself, it is automatically enabled when the program is in ReWire slave mode. See “ReWire” for more de-
tails.
•Send MIDI Clock
When this is activated, the program is MIDI Clock Sync Master and can control external applications/equipment.
See “Synchronization and Advanced MIDI” for more details.
Enable Keyboard Control
When this is activated, the computer’s keyboard keys can be used to control devices, as set up with the Keyboard
Control Edit feature. See “Editing Keyboard Control” for more information.
Keyboard Control Edit Mode
D To get an overview of which parameters are keyboard controllable select “Keyboard Control Edit Mode” from
the Options menu.
Each device you select will show a yellow arrow symbol next to every parameter that can be assigned.
D If you click on an assignable parameter to select it, you can then select “Edit Keyboard Control Mapping” from
the Edit menu.
This opens a dialog allowing you to select a key command for that parameter.
You may use any key or a combination of [Shift] + any key.
D Simply press the key (or key combination) you wish to use to remote control the parameter.
The “Key Received” field momentarily indicates that it is “learning” the keystroke(s), and then the dialog displays
the name of the key you have pressed. If [Shift] was used, the box beside the word Shift in the dialog is ticked.
You can also double-click on the arrow for an assignable parameter to set up keyboard control:
D A rotating yellow rectangle appears, indicating Learn mode. Press the key (or key combination) you wish to
use to remote control the parameter.
The rotating stops and the rectangle will now display the key or key combination you used.
! Note that the transport panel uses the numeric keypad for various commands. If you assign a parameter to a
single numeric key, the corresponding transport functionality will be overridden!
D Another way to assign keyboard control commands is to have “Keyboard Control Edit Mode” deselected on
the Options menu, and to right-click (Win) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) the parameter you wish to keyboard control.
This opens a pop-up menu, where one of the options will be “Edit Keyboard Control Mapping”. Selecting this opens
the Keyboard Control dialog. Thus, you do not have to enable/disable Edit mode from the Options menu if you
know that a parameter is assignable.
