Note: If you have edited MAX49's Programs and are unable to load the Program, use the supplied Vyzex editor to

Reason

To see how the MAX49 controls are mapped to each module in Reason, please refer to the tables on the following pages.

You can always change how controllers are mapped by modifying the MAX49.remotemap file. This will allow you to

customize how Reason and your MAX49 work.

ReasonKS

This Program is almost the same as the Reason Program described above, but this version allows you to turn MAX49's

Sequencer on/off by pressing keys on its KEYBOARD. To do this:

1. Press SEQ SELECT so it is lit.

2. Press ON/OFF so it is lit.

3. Press and hold a key on MAX49's KEYBOARD. The Sequence will play (in that key) while the key is being held.

When you release the key, the Sequence will stop.

Note: (To "latch" the Sequencer, press [LATCH] so it is lit. When this button is activated, Sequencer playback will

continue even after the key is released.)
