KONTROL49
Requirements/Setting up:
• The KONTROL49 can be connected via USB or standard MIDI con-
nectors.
• If connected via USB, you need to make sure that both the MIDI In
ports are properly selected (one for the keyboard and one for the
controls).
• If connected via MIDI, you only need to select the "Controls MIDI In
Port" - make sure the "Keyboard MIDI In Port" is set to "Not se-
lected".
• Reason will automatically find the KONTROL49 if you click the
Auto-detect button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in
the Preferences (a two-way MIDI or USB connection is needed).
• When you add the KONTROL49 (manually or using auto-detect), it
will automatically be set to a custom mode for use with Reason.
About the controls:
Reason makes use of all encoders, sliders, pads and buttons except for the oc-
tave shift buttons. The program will also control the displays on the KONTROL49,
showing parameter names and values.
About the default mapping:
D The main LCD display shows the name of the device currently con-
trolled by the KONTROL49.
D The "Setting" and "Scene" buttons are used for Target Previous/
Next Track (move the master keyboard input up or down in the track
list).
D For devices with patches, the "Message" and "Exit" buttons select
the previous/next patch.
D The joystick is not mapped to any parameters by default, but you
can assign it to any items in ReCycle 2.1 by using Remote Overrides.
There are two separate control surface items for the joystick; X-axis and Y-
axis.
D The “Hex Lock” and “Enter” buttons are mapped to Stop and Play
on the ReCycle 2.1 transport panel, by default.
D The main encoder is mapped to master level, where applicable.
D For many devices, the pads are simply mapped to buttons on the
device.
D Mixer 14:2
The "SW1" and "SW2" buttons determine which mixer channels are con-
trolled (1-8 or 9-14). Pad buttons 13-16 select variations, determining what
should be controlled by the encoders (pan, send1, send2 or send3). The up-
per pad buttons serve as mute buttons.
D Line Mixer 6:2
The "SW1" and "SW2" buttons determine whether the encoders should con-
trol pan or sends.
D Thor
The “SW1” and “SW2” buttons determine whether the encoders, sliders and
pad buttons should control Filters, Osc & Amp, Modulation, Sequencer 1 or
Sequencer 2 parameters. Encoders 1 and 2 control Rotaries 1 and 2 and Pad
buttons 1 and 2 control Buttons 1 and 2 on the Thor panel.
D Subtractor
The "SW1" and "SW2" buttons select variations (Filter & Amp, Osc or Mod)
for the encoders, sliders and pad buttons.
D Malström
The "SW1" and "SW2" buttons select variations (Filter, Osc/Mod A or Osc/
Mod B) for the encoders, sliders and pad buttons.
D NN-XT
You can use the pad buttons to play the sampler. They are mapped chromati-
cally from C2 up.
D Redrum
Only drum sounds 1-8 can be controlled.
The "SW1" and "SW2" buttons select variations. There are four variations:
Pitch/Play, Length/Play, Pitch/Pattern and Length/Pattern. In the "Pitch"
variations, the encoders control the pitch of the drum sounds; in the "Length"
variations they control the length. In the "Play" variations, you can play the
drum sounds with the pads. In the "Pattern" variations, the pads are used for
selecting pattern and bank. The sliders always control the levels.
D BV-512 Vocoder
The sliders control the band levels - use the "SW1" and "SW2" buttons to se-
lect which vocoder bands to control.
D Matrix
Pad buttons 1-8 select pattern, pad button 9 controls the Run button, pad
button 12 controls the Pattern Enable switch and pad buttons 13-16 select
bank.
D ReGroove
Encoders 1-8 control the A1-A4 Slide and Shuffle. Sliders 1-4 control the
A1-A4 Groove amount.
