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.
