MENU AND DIALOG REFERENCE

Clear Remote Override Mapping
This menu command is available when Remote Override Edit Mode has been acti-
vated on the Options menu. It will remove the Remote Override mapping for a se-
lected assigned parameter.
Clear All Remote Override Mappings for Device
This menu command is available when Remote Override Edit Mode has been acti-
vated on the Options menu. It removes all Remote Override mapping you have set up
for the selected device.
Copy/Paste Remote Override Mappings
These menu commands are available when Remote Override Edit Mode has been ac-
tivated on the Options menu. You can use them to copy override mappings from one
device and paste them into a device of the same type.
If the device you paste into is in the same song as the device you copied from, the op-
eration will replace the existing overrides.
Preferences – General
Mouse Knob Range
This lets you adjust the response sensitivity of the various knobs in Reason when ma-
nipulating them with the mouse. A higher sensitivity gives a higher degree of preci-
sion. You can choose between Normal, Precise and Very Precise.
Automation Cleanup
The Automation Cleanup setting reduces the number of automation points when you
record or draw automation. Adjust this setting if you find that recording or drawing re-
sults in too many or too few automation points.
• This can also be done manually from the Tool window (Tools tab).
Cable Animation
Cables in Reason are animated in a lifelike fashion when flipping the Rack and making
connections. Should you so wish, you can choose to disable the cable movement an-
imation by deactivating this checkbox.
Show Parameter Value Tool Tip
Normally, if you hold the mouse pointer over a parameter on a device panel for a mo-
ment, a Tool Tip appears displaying the name and the current value of the parameter.
If you uncheck this option, Tool Tips will not be displayed.
Show Automation Indication
If a parameter is automated in the sequencer, this is, by default, indicated by a colored
square around the parameter on the device panel. If you uncheck this option, automa-
tion will not be indicated.
Default Song
By default, every time you start Reason, a simple demo song opens. This default song
contains a few devices and sequencer data and can be played. Every time you select
“New” from the File menu, a default template song (without sequencer data) is
opened, with a few selected devices. This serves as a suitable starting point for creat-
ing your own songs.
This section allows you to set one of the following Default Song options:
• Empty Rack - This will open an empty rack. Well, almost empty, since it contains
the Reason hardware interface.
• Built In - If this is selected the built-in default demo/template songs will be opened
according to the rules stated above.
• Custom - This allows you to select a custom default song. Any Reason song can
be used, so if you often create songs using the same or similar device setups, you
can use a previously created song as the default song. This way, all new songs you
create will have the same device setup.
To customize the contents of new songs, proceed as follows:
