Here's the problem (for which I'm waiting from propellerhead and evolution /keybaord) :
I'm in reason
On a mac (9.2)
Keyboard plugged and recognized
I do "Enable remote mapping"
I do "Edit remote mapping"
I see the green arrows over the controllers
I click on a controller of my Reason mixer
I click on "Learn from midi"
I turn the desired controller on my keyboard
Nothing happens in the "Learn from midi" bar
I click on OK
But nothing happens.

Question : How do I assign my keyboard controllers (And I have 20 of them so I should be happy) so they act live in Reason ?

Hint : The controllers seems to be already assigned to some reason's controllers. But the order is shitty and some essential ones are missing.

If I'm understandabooole, thanks for your answers !
I have a party in 15 days and I hope to launch some personnal breaks during my mix !

read pages 54-58 in the Reason manual .. it explains setting up remote mapping

the Reason manual is a pdf (adobe acrobat) file in your Reason folder .. it is called Operation Manual.pdf (on windows .. i guess on Mac it might not show the .pdf file extension)

Well, I tried from the manual explanations but it didn't work... Any ideas ?

you need to use the midi implementation chart to find controller numbers that aren't already assigned within reason

you then need to set your keyboard's knobs to use these unassigned numbers (you'll need to read the manual for your keyboard to find out how to change controller numbers on your keyboard)

I have 20 knobs, but the manual shows like 300 lines of controllers...?

And something I'm not sure of :
Reason already assigned some controllers, but is it possible to change those ?
eg. :
Let's imagine I have a filter composed of LFO (A) and amount (B) and I want to change the values live.

I have 10 controllers on my keyboard,and I wish to find (A) and (B) on controllers #5 and #6.
I see that Reason has already assigned (A) to controller #3 and that (B) is not assigned to any controller.

How do I do to get (A) controlled by knob #5 and (B) controlled by #6 ?


Thanks in advance !
