MANAGING THE RACK

Routing MIDI to a Device

There are several ways to send MIDI from an external MIDI controller to a

Reason device, as described in the electronic documentation. However, in

this book we stick to the most common method: to route MIDI via the se-

quencer.

With this method, incoming MIDI (e.g. from your MIDI keyboard) is sent to

one of the tracks in Reason’s sequencer. The sequencer will then pass it on

to a device in the rack (the device to which the track is routed). This way, you

can select different devices for MIDI playback by directing the incoming MIDI

to different tracks in the sequencer.

Proceed as follows:

1. Make sure your MIDI controller is connected to the correct MIDI in-

put on your computer, and sends on the correct MIDI channel.

This should be the MIDI port and channel you specified for the sequencer

in the Preferences-MIDI dialog, as described on page 15.

2. In the sequencer, locate the track that is connected to the device

you want to play.

If you are uncertain, you can pull down the Out pop-up menu for each

track and check to which device they are routed.

3. Click in the In column for the track.

A MIDI symbol is displayed, to indicate that this track will transfer incom-

ing MIDI to its device.

4. Play the MIDI controller.

You should now hear the sound of the device.

✪ On the panel of some instrument devices you will find a Note On in-

dicator. This blinks to indicate incoming MIDI notes.

Naming Devices

Each device has a “tape strip” showing the name of the device. When you

create a new device it is automatically named according to the device type,

with an index number (so that the first Subtractor synthesizer you create is

called “Synth 1”, the next “Synth 2” and so on). If you like, you can rename a

device by clicking on its tape strip and typing a new name (up to 16 charac-

ters).

For devices connected to a mixer, the device names are automatically re-

flected on the vertical tape strips for the corresponding mixer channels (next

to the mixer channel faders). Similarly, tape strips below the Return knobs

show the names of the effect devices connected to the corresponding Return

inputs.
