MIDI AND KEYBOARD REMOTE CONTROL
54
Introduction
It is possible to assign computer keyboard commands and/or MIDI controller
messages to most Reason device parameters or functions. Both methods allow
you to use a “learn” function to instantly assign the parameter knob, slider or but-
ton to a keyboard command or a controller on an external device.
MIDI Remote Mapping
If you want to control one or several Reason parameters in real time from an ex-
ternal MIDI device, you can use MIDI Remote Mapping. The external device
could be a dedicated MIDI performance controller, for example.
Setting Up
! If you are using a single MIDI interface with only one MIDI Input,
there are certain restrictions to how you can use MIDI Remote Map-
ping. See “Example MIDI Setups” below for an explanation.
To set up Reason for MIDI Remote Mapping, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu and select the Ad-
vanced MIDI page.
2. Open the Remote Control pop-up in the Miscellaneous section, and
select your MIDI input.
This should preferably be a separate port that you “dedicate” to sending
controller messages, see below.
3. Close the Preferences dialog.
