USING THE MPK49 WITH REASON

Reason is a software program that allows for vast control of its parameters. The problem with having a lot of controllable items is the limit of physical space and the cost of building hardware controllers that can accommodate hundreds or thousands of controllers. The people at Propellerheads have developed a way to remap a single control surface to each of the modules in Reason. This protocol is called Reason Remote.

We have included all the files necessary to enable Reason to find the MPK49 and map its controls to whatever module you have selected in the sequencer.

To begin using the MPK49 with Reason, you will need to make sure that you have version 3.0.5 or greater for the Mac or version 3.0.4 or later for the PC. Please note that the MPK49 is also compatible with Reason 4.

1.To install the Reason Remote codecs and remote maps, run the Reason Remote installer for your particular computer and it will auto-install the folders into the right locations.

2.After you have installed the Reason Remote codecs, select Preset number 2 – “Reason” – on your MPK49. Press the [VALUE] dial to load the preset.

!If you have edited MPK49’s presets and are unable to load the Reason preset, use the supplied Vyzex Editor to load the Factory Preset Bank and “PUT” or download the factory preset bank into the MPK49.

3.Start up Reason and the software will automatically find the MPK49 controller. Within Reason, click on [Preferences] and look under [Control Surfaces and Keyboards]. You should see the Akai MPK49 icon with a green check mark. If it is not checked, click the “Use with Reason” button.
