How to switch instruments in Reason with a MIDI-Controller - Pt.1

I've been asked if it is possible to switch between instruments within reason WITHOUT using your computer-keyboard, what would be very helpful in a band for example. Well, I didn't really find out if it is possible, but there are ways to don't switch the instruments in the sequencer. You will find out in this video how it works.

I also uploaded a second option to choose between instruments and that video also includes a third way. You find the video in the Tutorials-Playlist.

The language in the video is english.

Ich wurde gefragt ob es möglich ist in Reason zwischen verschiedenen Instrumenten umzuschalten ohne die PC-Tastatur zu benutzen, was bei einer Band sehr hilfreich wäre (da man dann nicht am PC umschalten muss). Ich habe nicht wirklich eine Möglichkeit gefunden das im Sequenzer zu erledigen, aber es gibt einen weg drumrum. Diesen Weg zeige ich in diesem Video.

Ich habe auch noch ein zweites Video hochgeladen, in dem ich zeige, welche weiteren Optionen es zum "Umschalten" der Instrumente gibt (2 Stück).

Die Sprache im Video ist Englisch. In diesem Teil habe ich nun die Übersetzung fertig. Bei Teil 2 werde ich das noch nachholen.

ty four the vid :)

ps dont suppose you know how to mute midi channels in Reason ?

[Starfool06]

well that's kind of the easiest thing ;) ... you have your instruments shown in the sequencer on the left... right next to the instruments there are some buttons. there should be "S" and "M" ... M = Mute. Press that Button and the channel will mute.
