THE SEQUENCER

Importing and Exporting

MIDI Files

Reason can import and export standard midi files (SMF). This allows you to transfer

MIDI data between Reason and other applications.

Importing a MIDI File

To import a Standard MIDI File, select “Import MIDI File” from the File menu. The

Browser appears, where you can locate and open the MIDI file.

D MIDI files have the extension “.mid”.

Now, a number of new tracks are created in Reason’s sequencer. The tracks will have

their original name, with their original MIDI channel added. All tracks will be Combina-

tor tracks, with empty Combi patches.

D If the imported MIDI file is of “Type 1”, there will be one sequencer track

for each track in the MIDI file.

D If the imported MIDI file is of “Type 0” (that is, it contains one track with

MIDI events on multiple channels), there will be one sequencer track for

each used MIDI channel.

D Any tempo changes in the MIDI file are disregarded.

The tempo in Reason will be set to the first tempo in the MIDI file.

D The Combinators will be empty, which means the imported file will not

make any sound at first.

You need to use the Browser section on the Combinators to select a suitable

sound for each track.

D All controller data in the MIDI file is included.

This means that standard performance controllers (pitch bend, mod wheel data

etc.) are preserved properly and will included in the note clip as when recording in

Reason. However, some controllers may “mean” different things for the original

MIDI instruments used when creating the MIDI file and the devices in Reason, so

some automation clips may be “alien” (see “About alien clips”).

Green frames will appear for the automated parameters in the device panels. This helps you locate

any unwanted controller data.

Exporting a MIDI File

To export your Reason song as a MIDI file, proceed as follows:

1. Set the End (E) marker at where you want the MIDI file to end.

The MIDI file will contain all events on all tracks from the start of the song to the

End marker.

2. Select “Export MIDI File” from the File menu.

3. In the file dialog that appears, specify a name and location for the file.

Under Windows, the file will automatically get the extension “.mid”. Under Mac

OS, this is not required. However, if you want the MIDI file to be recognizable un-

der Windows (and by some hardware sequencers), you may want to activate the

option “Add Extension to File Name” before saving.

4. Click Save.

MIDI files exported by Reason will have the following properties:

D The MIDI file will be of Type 1, with one MIDI track for each track in the

Reason sequencer.

The tracks will have the same names as in the Reason sequencer.

D Since the Reason sequencer doesn’t use MIDI channels as such, all

tracks will be set to MIDI channel 1.

D The sequencer tempo is included in the MIDI file.

If tempo or time signature automation is used this will not be included.
