Using the ReMOTE 25 with Reason
It is possible that when using the Reason instrument templates that certain controls don’t respond as
would be expected.
If this is the case, it is most likely that the version of Reason being used is not responding to the incoming
MIDI controller information correctly. It is possible that the ReMOTE is not malfunctioning or that the tem-
plate in use has been programmed incorrectly. To check which is item is malfunctioning, observe the LCD
display when a control is moved. The ReMOTE will be sending over MIDI or USB, data as indicated by the
LCD display.

There is no external MIDI control to change the Osc A or B Waveforms. The Wave control for MODS A
and B does not respond correctly to external MIDI control. (The ReMOTE sends values from 0 - 31 and
incorrect selection occurs)
Many of the 'A' and 'B controls for the Malstrom are have been given the wrong controller numbers in the
Reason documentation. (They are swapped - A controls B and B controls A etc.) These have been altered
in the ReMOTE to allow correct operation with the application.
