COMMON OPERATIONS AND CONCEPTS
37
Sliders
To move a slider, click on the slider handle and drag up or down.
D You can also click anywhere on the slider to instantly move the han-
dle to that position.
D If you press [Shift] and drag, the slider will move slower, allowing
for higher precision.
Multi Mode Selectors
Some parameters allow you to select one of several modes. There are two differ-
ent graphical representations of this in Reason:
This type of multi mode selector consists of a button with the different modes listed above.
You can either click the button to step through the modes or click directly on one of the
modes to select it. The currently selected mode is indicated by a lit LED.
This type of multi mode selector is a switch with more than two settings. To change mode,
click and drag the switch, or click directly at the desired switch position (just as when
adjusting a slider).
Buttons
Many modes and functions are controlled by clicking buttons. Most of the but-
tons in Reason have a “built-in” LED, indicating whether the button is pressed or
not.
Numerical Values
In Reason, numerical values are displayed in alphanumeric readouts with “spin
controls” (up/down arrow buttons) on the side. There are two ways to change
numerical values:
D By using the up and down buttons on the spin controls.
To adjust a value in single steps, click on its up or down arrow button. To
scroll a value continuously, click on an arrow button and keep the mouse
button pressed.
D By clicking in the actual alphanumeric display and dragging up or
down with the mouse button pressed.
This allows you to make coarse adjustments very quickly.
✪ This type of control is also used for some parameters that are not
purely “numerical” (e.g. reverb algorithms and synth oscillator
waveforms).
The position values on the transport panel can also be edited by double clicking
and typing a new position.
