Novation Xio - Page 69

Reason
Although there is no Template onboard the Xio for Reason 3, there are Resource files to enable the
keyboard to work as a controller for each instrument and rack device in the software. Once the Resource
files have been placed in the correct location, the keyboard can be set up as a Control Surface in Reason,
during which process a Template will be sent to the Xio.
Setup
The file 'Xio.midicodec' should be placed in the following folder:
PC (Win XP): C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Propellerhead
Software\Remote\Codecs\MIDI Codecs
Mac (OS X): HD/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Remote/Codecs/MIDI Codecs
The file 'Xio.remotemap' should be placed in the following folder:
PC (Win XP): C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Propellerhead
Software\Remote\Maps/Novation
Mac (OS X): HD/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Remote/Maps/Novation
Next, ensure that the Xio is connected and switched on, then open Reason 3. Open the Preferences dialog
and select the 'Control Surfaces and Keyboards' page. Select 'Add' to bring up the Control Surface dialog
and select Novation from the 'Manufacturer' drop down menu and 'Xio' from the 'Model' drop down menu.
Next select 'Xio' in the MIDI input drop down menu (do not select a MIDI output) and click 'OK'. A Reason 3
template will automatically be loaded into the Xio, which will then need to be saved
to the Xio's memory. The setup will then be complete and the Preferences dialog can be closed.
