I'm not a reason user, so I can't comment on if this is a good tool or not, but it looks like it's got a lot going for it. Here's the app's description:
OrangeAid turns your iPad into a control surface for Reason and Reason Essentials, giving you seamless integration with all your favorite Rack devices. Whether you're tweaking away in search of that new synth lead, making beats, recording or performing OrangeAid is ready to help.
- Create your own layouts to control your Rack devices, song files and play instruments the way you want, all from within the app.
- Parameter mapping is a breeze with OrangeAid. Just browse the built-in lists and tap to map!
- OrangeAid can follow the Master Keyboard input in Reason. Change tracks in the Sequencer and your rack layouts automatically change to match the new device.
- You can also use Reason’s surface locking to stay focused on a specific instrument or effect.
- Handy Transport, Track & Patch controls are always available.
- Super-fine parameter control for Knobs, Sliders & Pitch Wheel.
- Designed to take full advantage of Propellerhead Software's Remote technology for complete, two-way communication with Reason.
- Works alongside your existing hardware MIDI control surfaces & keyboards.
- Connect to Reason using Wi-Fi, MIDI over Bluetooth LE or with a wired connection using class-compliant equipment.

What's New
- Layout auto-switching. Set OrangeAid to follow Reason’s Master Keyboard input, or use surface locking to control a specific device, and your Rack layouts automatically change to match.
- Layout Quick Picker. Open or add another layout without having to navigate to the Layout Organizer and back again.
- Super-fine parameter control for Knobs, Sliders & Pitch Wheel. While touching a control, move your finger off to the side (or above/below for the Horizontal Slider) to change the parameter value more precisely. The further away you move, the more precise it gets.
- Filter by Parameter. Mountains might be mountains in Zen, but buttons are not always buttons in the Rack. Sometimes they're really switches (yes, I’m looking at you Mr Combinator!) Use ‘Filter by Parameter’ in the controls list to find control types guaranteed to match a particular parameter.
- Bluetooth LE MIDI. If your iPad supports it, you can use Bluetooth LE MIDI to connect to a Mac running OS X Yosemite v10.10. or later.
- Transport, Track & Patch controls always available in the toolbar.
- Someone pointed out there are other colors besides orange. Yes, it’s true! And, as it happens, they’re quite handy for telling your Oscillator 1 from your Oscillator 2.
- Improved syncing between OrangeAid and Reason.
- Added support for devices in the full version of Reason with the OrangeAid Pro Upgrade In-App Purchase.
- Added support for Propellerhead Rack Extensions with individual In-App Purchases.
- iOS 9 compatibility.
- A thousand other little fixes & tweaks that all add up to make things better.
