Setting Up

Setting up MIDI Input

Reason has a very wide-ranging MIDI support, allowing you to make use of up to

seven different MIDI inputs on a multi-port MIDI interface or similar. This makes it

possible to use several different MIDI controllers and play and tweak each de-

vice in the rack independently, or to play the devices in Reason from an external

sequencer, etc. See the electronic documentation.

However, in this book we will stick with the standard way of playing Reason via

MIDI: by connecting a MIDI controller to a single MIDI input and routing this to

different devices in the rack via Reason’s sequencer. With this method you will

be able to play and control one device at a time. Proceed as follows:

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 MIDI page.

3. Pull down the Port pop-up menu in the Sequencer section and se-

lect the MIDI input to which your MIDI controller is connected.

4. Check on which MIDI channel your MIDI controller transmits, and

set the Channel pop-up menu to this value.

The sequencer will only accept MIDI data on one channel at a time. This

makes it possible to play via the sequencer and use MIDI Remote Control at

the same time, even if you have a MIDI interface with a single input only (see

the electronic documentation).

5. For now, also select the Advanced MIDI page from the pop-up menu

and make sure the pop-up menus on this page are set to “No MIDI

Input”.

Now, the Reason sequencer will receive MIDI data on the specified input port

and MIDI channel. You may want to leave the Preferences dialog open for the

following settings.

Setting Sound and Patch

Search Paths

Reason songs and patches can contain references to other files on your hard

disk, such as samples. To keep track of all files, Reason makes use of a “data-

base”. If you keep your Reason files within the database, Reason can update file

paths, automatically search for missing files, etc.

This database consists of up to four different folders on disk (and all their sub-

folders). You specify which folders to use as database in the following way:

1. In the Preferences dialog, use the pop-up menu at the top to select

the Sound Locations page.

2. Click the “1” folder button below the heading “Sound and Patch

Search Paths”.

A file dialog appears.

3. Navigate to the desired folder and select it.

You can select a folder on any drive, (including mapped network drives un-

der Windows).

4. Click OK.

The folder is added as the first search path in the database.

5. If you like, specify search path 2 to 4 in the same way.

It is normally enough to specify a single path, since all underlying folders are

automatically included in the database. Use the additional paths if you use

more than one hard drive, CD-ROM drives etc.

When you add sound files or save Reason files, you should place them within

the database (under one of the specified search path folders).
