MENU AND DIALOG REFERENCE

D The “Attached Surfaces” list in the middle shows the currently added de-
vices.
Selecting a device in the list allows you to edit its settings or delete it from the list,
by clicking the corresponding “Edit” or “Delete” button.
D Clicking the “Auto-detect Surfaces” button will scan for connected con-
trol surfaces.
This requires a USB connection or a two-way MIDI connection. Note that not all
control surfaces support auto-detection - but you can always add a control surface
manually.
D If you have devices connected in the list of Attached Surfaces that you do
not wish to use with Reason, you can uncheck the “Use with Reason”
checkbox.
D The “Use No Master Keyboard” button allows you to disable MIDI note
input in the sequencer.
The device designated as Master Keyboard cannot be locked to a specific device
- it always follows sequencer MIDI input. By selecting the master keyboard device
in the Attached Surfaces list and clicking this button allows you use Surface lock-
ing, although you will not be able to play the device. See the Remote Control
chapter in the Operation Manual for details.
Adding a Control Surface device
To add a control surface device, click the “Add” button in the dialog to open the Con-
trol Surfaces dialog, and proceed as follows:
1. Select the manufacturer of your control surface from the Manufacturer pop-
up menu.
If you can’t find it on the menu, see below.
2. Select the model of your control surface from the Model pop-up menu.
If you can’t find it on the menu, see below.
3. 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.
4. Use the MIDI Input pop-up to select the input port to which you have con-
nected the surface.
If in doubt, you can click the Find button and then tweak a control or play a key on
the control surface to have Reason find the correct input port for you.
D Some control surfaces may have more than one MIDI Input pop-up menu.
You need to select ports on all MIDI Input pop-up menus.
D Some control surfaces will have a MIDI Output pop-up menu.
In some cases this is labeled “Optional” - then you don’t have to make a selection.
In other cases, a MIDI Output is required. This is the case if the control surface
uses MIDI feedback - motor fader, displays, etc.
5. If you like, you can rename your control surface in the Name field.
6. Click OK to add the surface.
D Depending on the surface model, alerts may appear, reminding you to
select a specific preset etc.
In some cases, Reason can restore a preset in the control surface to factory set-
tings for you - you are then informed of this.
Finally you return to the Control Surfaces Preferences page, where your added sur-
face is now listed.
