About overlapping Velocity Ranges
You can set overlapping velocity ranges. Here’s an example of how this can work:
D Device 1 has a velocity range from 1-60.
D Device 2 has a velocity range of 41-100.
D Device 3 has a velocity range of 81-127.
Now, velocity values between 41 and 60 will trigger notes from both Device 1 and
Device 2. Likewise, velocity values between 81 and 100 will trigger sounds from De-
vice 2 and Device 3.
About full and partial velocity ranges
You can see which devices have modified velocity ranges in the key map display:
• Devices with a full velocity range (0 - 127) are only shown with an outline.
• Devices with any other velocity range are shown as striped.
The device has a partial velocity range (any other range), which is indicated by stripes.
Using Modulation Routing
The Modulation Routing section allows you to assign any parameter or function in de-
vices included in a Combi to any of the virtual Rotary and Button controls on the Con-
troller panel.
About Rotary and Button controls
The virtual Rotary and controls operate much like the equivalent controls on the real
devices:
D A Rotary control can either smoothly change parameter values (e.g. a
level control), or step through fixed values (like the Oscillator waveform
spin controls on a Subtractor or the distortion type knob on a Scream de-
vice).
D A Button control will switch between two set values like an on/off
switch.
Worth noting is that there are buttons on several Reason devices that will step
through a series of values, for example LFO Waveform buttons. If LFO Waveform
is assigned to one of the virtual Buttons you will only be able to switch between
two of the six LFO waveforms (which waveforms is determined by the Min/Max
range).
D The available range for each selected parameter is shown in the Modula-
tion Routing Min/Max fields.
Most sliders and rotary knobs on the actual devices have the standard 0-127 or
-64 to 63 range. Selectors and spin controls can have any value range.
Assigning parameters to a control
This is done as follows:
1. Select the device you wish to assign parameters for in the device list to the
left.
A Dr. REX device selected.
The name of the selected device is now shown in the Modulation Routing Device field.
The Modulation Routing section contains four columns:
D In the Source column, the four Rotary and Button controls are listed.
D The pop-ups in the Target column contain all parameters for the selected
device.
D The Min/Max columns allow you to specify a value range for the virtual
control.
