Editing MIDI Remote Mapping

A section of a mixer with MIDI Remote enabled.
2. If you click on a assignable parameter, a dialog appears allowing
you to select a MIDI controller (or a Note number) to control that
parameter.
Note numbers function exactly like Keyboard remote - they can only control
on/off or min/max values (see page 57).
The MIDI Remote dialog.
3. Make sure that the “Learn from MIDI Input” box is ticked.
4. Simply turn the knob (or slider etc.) that you wish to use to remote
control the parameter.
The “MIDI Received” field momentarily flickers as you turn the knob, and
then the dialog shows the controller number and the channel it is transmitted
on.
5. Click “OK” to exit the dialog.
The selected parameter now has a tag, displaying the controller number, and
the MIDI channel used.

tions menu.
You do not always have to use this method - see below.
About the two Edit MIDI Remote Mapping Modes
If Edit MIDI Remote Mapping is enabled (ticked) on the Options menu, assigned
parameters are “tagged”, and the arrow indicators show the assignable parame-
ters. In this mode, however, you cannot operate Reason normally, as every pa-
rameter you click on will open the MIDI Remote dialog. The Edit mode is
primarily for overview of available parameters and the current assignments.
D Another way to assign keyboard remote commands is to have “Edit
MIDI Remote Mapping” 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 MIDI Re-
mote Mapping”. Selecting this opens the MIDI Remote dialog. Thus, you do
not have to select Edit mode from the Options menu if you already know that
a parameter is free and assignable.
