Setting up MIDI Input

This topic describes how to set up a single MIDI input to the program. This text assumes you will be using Reason's built in sequencer to create songs. For more advanced use, like direct MIDI control of the rack devices, synchronization and MIDI remote control, see the printed and electronic documentation.

1. Use the pop-up menu at the top of the Preferences dialog to select the MIDI page.

2. Pull down the Port pop-up menu in the Sequencer section and select the MIDI input to which your MIDI controller is connected.

3. Check on which MIDI channel your MIDI controller sends, and set the Channel pop-up menu to this value.

The sequencer will only accept MIDI data on one channel at a time.

4. For now, also select the Advanced MIDI page and make sure the pop-up menus on this page are all set to "No MIDI Input".
