Reason Mixer Mode
Mute & Solo
Fader buttons 1-8 control mute for each of the tracks the faders are assigned to control. If a track is muted, the
corresponding LED is illuminated. Press the button to un-mute.
To solo tracks, press and hold fader button 9 while pressing fader buttons 1-8. Deactivate solo by pressing the corresponding
LED button while holding fader button 9.
Bank Over (1-8), (9-16) etc.
If your song contains more than 8 mixer channels you can bank over so the faders 1-8 control the next group of 8 channels.
To do this, press [Shift]+[Bank>] (the button also labeled Track-). The faders, encoders and fader buttons are now assigned
to control channels 9-16. Push the same key combination again to control 17-24 etc.
To go back you press [Shift]+[<Bank].
Zoom
Press [Shift]+[Zoom>] (the button also labeled View) to horizontally zoom in on Reason's arrangement page, edit page and
other pages that can be zoomed. Press [Shift]+[<Zoom] to horizontally zoom back out.
Master Volume
You can control the Master Volume fader of the Reason mixer by pressing [Fader button 9] and then move fader 9 while the
button is pressed. Upon release of the button, fader 9 will revert to control the current channel volume.
Tap Tempo & Scenes
Press the [Setup/Menu] button (below the Internal button) access the following additional functions:
Tempo: Activates tap tempo so press the button in the tempo you want. Press and hold the button while moving E1/Data to
set the tempo directly.
Scenes: Assigns the pads to move the Reason locators in length intervals across the arrangement. The pads trigger Loops 1-
8 in an array. Hold [Shift] and tap a pad to access a different bank of loops. For example [Shift]+Pad 2 accesses loops 9-16
in the array.
When [Scenes] is active, the following two menus are added:
Length: Sets the interval loop length between the left and right locators. Press and hold [Length] while moving [E1/Data] to
set the loop length.
Reset: Sets the Loop Length value to the current distance between the left and right locators and the starting point of the
pads array.
Hit one of the 8 pads to activate cycle and play and experience your song in a new way, as you hit different pads to start
sections at different points.
Example:
If your song has a 2 bar intro and repeating phrases of 8 bars:
•
Set the Left Locator to bar 3 (end of intro)
•
Set the right Locator to start of bar 12 (8 bar Loop length)
•
Press Reset.
•
Pad 1 will set the Locator points to bar 3 and 11, pad 2 sets them to 11 and 19 and so on.
