rent assignment.
See “Editing Keyboard Control” for more information.
Remote Override Edit Mode
All supported control surface devices have “standard remote mappings” for each Reason device. If you wish to over-
ride this standard mapping, you can do so in the following way:
1. To get an overview of which parameters can be assigned remote overrides, select “Remote Override Edit
Mode” from the Options menu.
Each device you select will show a blue arrow symbol beside every parameter that can be assigned a remote over-
ride. Standard mappings are marked with yellow knob symbols (only shown when the device has MIDI input). As-
signed overrides are marked with a lightning bolt symbol.
2. If you click on an assignable parameter to select it (selected parameters are orange in color), you can then se-
lect “Edit Remote Override Mapping...” from the Edit menu.
This opens a dialog where you can assign override mappings.
3. Make sure that the “Learn from Control Surface Input” box is ticked.
4. Simply turn the knob (or slider etc.) that you wish to use to assign Remote Override for the parameter.
The “MIDI Received” field momentarily flickers as you turn the knob, and then the dialog shows the control surface
device and the control you used.
You can also make override mappings manually:
D Select a device from the Control Surface pop-up in the dialog, and then select a control from the Control pop-
up.
On the Control pop-up, all the controls on the selected control surface are listed.
5. Click “OK” to exit the dialog.
The selected parameter is now tagged with a lightning bolt symbol, indicating Remote Override mapping.
6. To exit Remote Override Edit mode, deselect it from the Options menu.
You do not always have to use this method - see below.
If Remote Override Edit Mode is enabled on the Options menu, mapped parameters are “tagged”, and the arrow indi-
cators show the assignable parameters. In this mode, however, you cannot operate Reason normally. Remote Over-
ride Edit mode is primarily for overview of available parameters and the current assignments.
D Another way to assign keyboard remote commands is to have “Remote Override Edit Mode” deselected on the
Options menu, and to simply right-click (Win) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) the parameter you wish to control.
This opens a pop-up menu, where one of the options will be “Edit MIDI Remote Override Mapping”. Selecting this
opens the “Edit Remote Override Mapping” dialog. Thus, you do not have to select Edit mode from the Options
menu if you already know that a parameter is assignable.
See “Remote Override mapping” for more information.
Additional Remote Overrides...
Selecting this opens a dialog with remote functions that cannot be assigned using Remote Override Edit mode, such
as switching target tracks, Undo/Redo etc.
See “Additional Remote Overrides...” for details.
