PCR-1
Requirements/Setting up:
• When you use the PCR-1 with Reason, you need to make sure that
memory set 0 is selected. This is the memory set selected by default
when you turn the PCR-1 on.
• Reason will automatically find the PCR-1 if you click the Auto-de-
tect button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the
Preferences.
About the controls:
The PCR-1 has 16 knobs (to use the last eight, press Shift).
The following buttons are available for use in Reason: B1/B2 (see below), B3,
B4, B5 and B6.
Due to the settings in preset 0, buttons B1 and B2 cannot be used as two sepa-
rate buttons. Instead they appear as a single control surface item called "Dec/Inc
Buttons". You can map this item to a parameter in Reason.
About the default mapping:
D Buttons B4 and B5 are used for "Target Previous Track" and "Target
Next Track" (moving the master keyboard input up or down in the
track list).
D For patch devices, buttons B3 and B6 are used for selecting the pre-
vious and next patch, respectively.
D When controlling devices with many parameters, keyboard shortcut
variations are used.
PCR-M1
The PCR-M1 works just like the PCR-1 when you use it as a control surface with
Reason (see above). The only differences are
• The PCR-M1 can be connected via MIDI instead of USB. In that
case, you need a two-way MIDI connection (both MIDI In and MIDI
Out) for Reason to be able to auto-detect the keyboard. However,
you can always add the PCR-M1 manually.
• The PCR-M1 has inputs for hold pedal and expression pedal.
PCR-300/500/800
Requirements/Setting up:
• When you use the PCR-300 series keyboard with Reason, you need
to make sure the "Dynamic Mapping" button is pressed on the key-
board.
• For the Remote implementation to work properly, the PCR key-
board must be connected to the computer via USB.
• Reason will automatically find and add the PCR keyboard if you
click the Auto-detect button on the Keyboards and Control Surfaces
page in the Preferences.
About the controls:
Reason makes full use of all buttons, rotaries and sliders on the PCR-300/500/
800. The program will also respond to aftertouch from the PCR keyboard (pro-
vided that you're playing a Reason device that uses aftertouch, and that after-
touch isn't deactivated on the PCR).
About the default mapping:
D The Value Encoder to the left on the PCR panel has four different
functions, selected by pressing the buttons V1-V4.
Button V1 makes the Value Encoder move the Master Keyboard Input up or
down in the track list. This is the default mode.
Button V2 makes the Value Encoder select patches for the currently played
Reason device.
Button V3 makes the Value Encoder select global Remote map variations.
(These can also be selected by pressing [Ctrl]-[Alt] (Windows) or [Command]-
[Option] (Mac) and one of the number keys on the main part of the computer
keyboard.)
Button V4 makes the Value Encoder move the song position pointer.
D Buttons L1-L4 control the corresponding Reason transport func-
tions (RTZ, Stop, Play and Record).
D Buttons C1-C3 are mapped to New Overdub, New Alternative Take
and Loop On/Off, respectively.
D When controlling a device that uses patches, buttons A9 and B9 will
select the previous/next patch.
If no device has Master Keyboard Input (e.g. if you've selected the Transport
track), the controls are mapped to additional global functions:
D The buttons B1-B9 are mapped to various transport functions:
Go to Left/Right Locator, Move song position to prev/next bar, decrease/in-
crease tempo, reset automation override, auto-quantize, click and precount
on/off.
