✪
OMS includes a special feature called IAC (Inter Application Com-
munication) that allows you to route MIDI between programs on
your computer. If you want to install this feature you must choose
the custom installation feature in the OMS installer and specifically
specify that you want IAC installed.
Windows
Under Windows no special installation procedure is required, just install the
MIDI interface and its drivers as described in the documentation that came with
the hardware.
MIDI Connections
Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out on your MIDI keyboard (or other MIDI
controller) to a MIDI In on your MIDI interface. This is sufficient to be able to play
and record notes and controllers in Reason from the MIDI keyboard. If you have
a MIDI interface with more than one input, it is possible to make more advanced
MIDI connections - this is described in the electronic documentation.
Installing the Software
Running the Installer
Now it’s time to install the actual Reason software:
1. Insert the Reason CD labeled “Program Disc” into your CD-ROM
drive.
2. On the CD-ROM, locate the file called “Install Reason” and double
click on it.

Mac OS note: Please observe that there are two separate installers
- one for Mac OS 9 and one for Mac OS X. Please make sure that
you use the correct one.
3. Follow the instructions on screen.
About Installing the Sound Banks
During installation, you will be asked whether you want to install the Reason Fac-
tory Sound Bank and the Orkester Sound Bank, or not. These each consist of
one big file, containing a large number of patches, samples and loops, serving
as your main supply of sounds (much like the sound ROM in a synthesizer).

If you choose not to install the Factory Sound Bank, you will need
to insert the “Factory Sound Bank” CD into the CD-drive each time
you run the program.

You may choose not to install the Orkester Sound Bank. Unlike the
Factory Sound Bank, this does
not
mean you have to insert the
“Orkester” CD into the CD-drive each time you run the program. It
merely means that you will have to do so each time you want to use
a patch or other sound from it.
Installing on hard disk is the recommended option, since you will most likely be
using the sound banks a lot and access is quicker from the hard disk than from
the CD-ROM drive.
You may chose not to install and instead access the files from CD if you are
short on hard disk space, if you are running Reason “temporarily” on another
computer, etc. The drawback is that you will have to swap CDs when you want
to browse for patches etc.
Even if you don’t install any of the sound banks when you install Reason, you can
do this at a later stage if you like: simply copy the file “Factory Sound Bank.rfl”
and/or the file “Orkester.rfl” from the respective Sound Bank CD to the Reason
program folder.
