SETTING UP

23

The Setup Wizard will first try to find a compatible audio driver.

It will automatically select the first compatible driver it finds. If this is the driver you wish to use, fine. If 
it isn't, select your preferred driver from the Audio Card Driver pop-up. If you don't know which driver to 
use, see 

“Setting up the Audio Hardware”

.

Next, Reason will try to auto-detect a Master Keyboard.

If one is found and you want to use this, click "Use" and proceed.

!

For Reason to auto-detect a device you need two-way MIDI communication! Non-USB 
keyboard devices without a MIDI input can of course still be added manually.

!

Note that your keyboard model might not be auto-detected by Reason, even though it’s a 
modern one and connects via USB. However, you can still use such a keyboard to control 
Reason in the same way as with an auto-detected keyboard.

If Reason can't find the keyboard you have connected, or if you clicked "Don't Use", you 
will be asked to specify a Master Keyboard manually.

This is done by first selecting a manufacturer, and then a model. If your model keyboard isn't on this list 
select "Other".

D

You will also have to specify a MIDI port to use.

This can be done either by selecting one of the available ports listed in the popup, or by clicking the 
"Find…" button and pressing some keys on your keyboard.

D

Note that if you have additional remote control surface devices in your setup, these will 
have to be added in the Preferences - see 

“Adding a Control surface”

.

The Setup Wizard will only establish a connected Master Keyboard device.

Setup is now complete!

If all went well, you should now have established audio and MIDI communication - the basics needed to 
record and play back audio and to direct MIDI to Reason!

However, if for any reason the Setup Wizard failed to establish the necessary settings, or if you wish to add 
other devices etc., you will have to make your settings in the Preferences dialog (see below).

D

Select which song to open, and if you want to watch the video tutorials on the Propeller-
head web site.

The final page of the Setup Wizard let's you select if you want to open a Demo Song, a template document, 
or an empty song directly after finishing the Setup Wizard. It also gives you an option to watch video 
tutorials on the Propellerhead web site.
