MIDI AND KEYBOARD REMOTE CONTROL

About the two Edit Keyboard Remote Modes
If Edit Keyboard Remote is enabled (ticked) on the Options menu, assigned
parameters are “tagged”, showing the remote key for that parameter. In this
mode, however, you cannot operate Reason normally, as every parameter
you click on will open the Key Remote dialog. This mode is primarily for over-
view of available parameters and the current assignments.
➜ Another way to assign keyboard remote commands is to have “Edit
Keyboard Remote” deselected on the Options menu, and to simply
[Ctrl]-click (Mac) / right-click (PC) the parameter you wish to remote
control.
This opens a pop-up menu, where one of the options will be “Edit Key-
board Remote”. Selecting this opens the Key Remote dialog. Thus, you
do not have to enable/disable Edit mode from the Options menu if you
know that a parameter is assignable.
! If you try to assign a Remote Key that is already in use, you will get
an alert asking if you wish to change the current assignment.
Saving Remote Setups
MIDI or Keyboard Remote setups are always stored with the song. But per-
haps you wish to be able to recall this setup for use in a new song, or perma-
nently use a specific remote setup.
➜ This could be done by saving a song document containing all the
devices that are affected by the remote setup together with the re-
lated Key or MIDI mapping, but without any sequencer data.
This song document could then be used as a starting point for any new
song, by simply loading it, and immediately using “Save As” to save it un-
der a new name.
