Propellerhead Reason

Reason allows for vast control of its parameters. Propellerhead Software has 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 MAX49 and map its controls to whatever module you have selected in the sequencer.
