The display buttons have additional alternate functions that can be accessed when the [Menu] button is held:

[Display button 2 - 1-shot]:
When on, Reason only records until the end of the current cycle region. Playback continues

Activating Nektarine for Aura Control
Once a Software Instrument Track hosting Nektarine is selected, press [DAW] to toggle between DAW mode and controlling Nektarine.
Aura automatically detects the Nektarine instance hosted on the current track. Because of this, running even several hundred instances of
Nektarine in any one project is a seamless control experience.
You can change track either from Aura or directly in Reason, though Aura behaves a little different depending on the method:
•
Selecting track from Aura always leaves Aura in DAW mode.
•
Selecting a track hosting Nektarine directly in Reason using the mouse, activates that instance.
•
Selecting any track that does not host Nektarine directly in Reason, while Nektarine is active, will automatically switch back to
DAW mode.
•
Selecting another Nektarine track following will automatically activate that instance.
Kong, ReDrum and Rytmik
Aura’s pads are remapped for Reason’s three drum devices Kong, ReDrum and Rutymik. This means that every time a track hosting one of
these 3 devices is selected, the pads will trigger device sounds as you would expect.
Here are the main additional features:
[Arrow buttons Up/Down]:
Shift the Kong pads up/down and assign the pads accordingly. This feature is only available for Kong.
Solo:
Press and hold [Solo] while pressing one or more pads. Only pads that are solo’ed are illuminated upon release.
Mute:
Press and hold [Mute] while pressing one or more pads. Pads that are Mute’ed are not illuminated upon
release..
