Remote - Playing and Controlling Devices

About the various MIDI inputs

This chapter describes how you can use Remote and the Easy MIDI Input function to set up your master keyboard and control surfaces, allowing you to play Reason devices, adjust parameters and control various Reason functions. This is the main way of sending MIDI to Reason, but there are also some additional methods:

•	Using the External Control Bus inputs.

The External Control Bus inputs (set up on the Preferences - Sync page and in the MIDI In device in the hardware interface) let you send MIDI directly to the individual devices in the rack. This is mainly used if you control Reason from an external sequencer, etc. See “About the External Control Bus inputs”.

•	Sending MIDI Clock to Reason.

This allows you to synchronize Reason’s tempo to other devices. See “Synchronization to MIDI Clock”.
