• You should now see your FBV device conﬁgured accordingly. Exit the Preferences if all settings

Please see the next section for how to map your FBV MIDI controllers to Reason parameters.

Conﬁguring FBV MIDI Controllers with Remote Override

Reason also offers its “Remote Override” feature, which is an easy way to allow Reason to “learn” the

MIDI message coming from your MIDI control device and instantly map it to a Reason parameter. You

can use the Remote Override options for your FBV MkII when conﬁgured as a Generic MIDI Control

device, as described in the previous section.

First we’ll need to make sure your FBV footswitch and pedal controllers are conﬁgured to send MIDI

CC messages out the MIDI Port we selected in the Generic MIDI Control setup steps. With the Reason

application closed, launch the Line 6 FBV Control application and load the “FBV-Default.fbv” preset.

• When the FBV-Default preset is loaded, you can see the FBV Pedal Vol controller is already set

to transmit MIDI CC 007. Note that the Pedal Vol is set to transmit its command to the FBV

MIDI Out port 1, which is what we want since this is the port we selected in the Reason Generic

Controller setup steps for Reason to receive MIDI. Exit the FBV Control application. We’ll next

show how to map this Pedal to a Reason parameter.

• Make sure your FBV pedal is set to utilize the Pedal Vol controller (the “Volume” LED indicator

on your FBV unit should be lit).
