Setting up
Adding a control surface or keyboard
This is how you add your control surfaces - including the master keyboard.
1. Open the Preferences dialog and click the Control Surfaces tab.
2. If your control surface is connected via USB (or if you have made a two-way MIDI connection), try clicking the
Auto-detect Surfaces button.
Reason scans all MIDI ports and tries to identify the connected control surfaces. Note that not all control surfaces
support auto-detection.
All found surfaces are listed in the Attached surfaces list.
3. To add a control surface manually, click the Add button.
This brings up a new dialog.
4. Select the manufacturer of your control surface from the Manufacturer pop-up menu.
If you can’t find it on the menu, see below.
5. Select the model of your control surface from the Model pop-up menu.
If you can’t find it on the menu, see below.
6. An image of the selected control surface model is shown, often along with some information text - read this
carefully.
For some control surfaces, you need to select a specific preset to use the surface with Reason - this is noted here.
