Additional Remote Overrides...

On the Options menu there is an item named “Additional Remote Overrides...”. Selecting this opens a dialog with remote functions that cannot be assigned using Remote Override Edit mode, such as switching target tracks, Undo/Redo etc.

Although most of the items in this dialog are self-explanatory, some need to be described. These are as follows:

Target Track Delta and Target Previous/Next Track

Target track is the track with Master Keyboard Input.

Assigning Target Previous/Next Track to two Button controls on a control surface allows you to move the Master Keyboard Input symbol up or down in the Track list.

Target Track Delta is meant to be used with Delta wheel controllers (a special control with no min/max range) to switch target track.

A Mackie Jog wheel is an example of this type of controller.

Select Previous/Next Track can be assigned to standard button controls.

Select Patch for Target Device and Select Previous/Next Patch for Target Device

The target device is the device connected to the target track.

Patch selection is usually standard-mapped to buttons on a control surface.

If you wish to override this standard patch selection mapping for devices globally to select patches for any patch device that currently has Master Keyboard Input, you can assign this here.

For example, you may always want to use the same buttons on a specific control surface for selecting patches.

Select Patch for Target Device is also meant to be assigned to a Delta-type control (see above).

This allows you to select patches for a device connected to the target track by spinning the wheel clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Select Previous/Next Patch can be assigned to standard button controls.

Select Keyboard Shortcut Variation (Delta)/Select Previous/Next Keyboard Shortcut Variation

By mapping controls to these, you can use your control surface to change which keyboard shortcut variation is selected in Reason Essentials.

•	The "Select Previous/Next” functions are typically mapped to buttons, allowing you to step between keyboard shortcut variations.

•	The Delta function must be mapped to a delta-type control to work.

•	The keyboard shortcut variation selection is a global setting in Reason Essentials. It affects all added control surfaces (if they make use of keyboard shortcut variations and aren't locked to a specific device and variation in the Surface Locking dialog).

Undo/Redo

You can assign Undo/Redo to controls. This works just like the corresponding items on the Edit menu.

Document Name

This allows you show the name of the song in the display of the control surface. This only works for control surfaces that support this feature.

Assigning Additional Overrides

Assigning overrides in this dialog is similar to assigning standard Remote Overrides:

1.	Select a function/parameter in the list that you wish to assign to a control and click “Edit”.

This opens the Edit Remote Override Mapping dialog, where you can assign a control to the selected function/parameter. You can also simply double click the item in the list to open this dialog.

2.	Click OK to close the dialog.

Clearing Additional Overrides

1.	Select “Additional Remote Overrides” from the Options menu.

In the Mapping column you can see which parameters/functions use overrides.

2.	Select the item currently assigned override mapping, and click “Clear”.
