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 Control” page in the Preferences.
This is only used for External Control MIDI buses and for MIDI Clock Sync input. All hands-on MIDI
control is set up on the Keyboards and Control Surfaces page.
Setting up the Default Song
Every time you start Reason, a simple default song opens. This default song contains a few devices and
sequencer data and can be played. Every time you select “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.
3. At the middle of this page, there is a section entitled “Default Song”.
You have three choices: “Empty Rack”, “Built In” and “Custom”.
Select which one you want to use by clicking the corresponding radio button.
• Empty Rack - This is an empty rack. Well, almost empty, since it contains the Reason
hardware interface.
