Other functions
D To edit a surface, double click it in the list (or select it and click
Edit).
This lets you change its name and MIDI port settings, if needed.
D To delete a surface, select it in the list and click Delete.
D You can turn off a surface by deactivating its “Use with Reason”
checkbox.
This could be useful if the surface is connected to your system but you only
want to use it with another program, etc.
D There is also an “Advanced MIDI” page in the Preferences.
This is only used for External Control MIDI buses and for MIDI Clock Sync in-
put. All hands-on MIDI control is set up on the Control Surfaces page.
Setting the default song
Every time you start Reason, a simple default song opens. This default song con-
tains a few devices and sequencer data and can be played. Every time you se-
lect “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 creating your own songs.
You can however decide exactly what you want the default song to look like, in
the following way:
1. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu (or Reason menu
if you are running Mac OS X).
2. Use the pop-up menu at the top of the Preferences dialog to select
the General page.
