MK-425C
Requirements/Setting up:
• Reason will automatically find the MK-425C if you click the Auto-
detect button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the
Preferences.
• To use MK-425C with Reason, you need to select preset 4 and make
sure this isn't changed from the factory settings.
• If you have connected the keyboard via USB, Reason will restore
preset 4 to factory settings for you - however, note that you need to
select preset 4 manually after this is done.
• You can also restore your MK-425C manually by holding down the +
and - buttons when you turn the keyboard on - note that this re-
stores all presets to factory settings, deleting any changes you have
made.
