MicroKONTROL
Requirements/Setting up:
• The MicroKONTROL can be connected via USB or standard MIDI connectors.
• If connected via USB, you need to make sure that both the MIDI In ports are prop-
erly 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 selected".
• Reason will automatically find the MicroKONTROL if you click the Auto-detect but-
ton on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the Preferences (a two-way
MIDI or USB connection is needed).
• When you add the MicroKONTROL (manually or using auto-detect), it will auto-
matically 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 octave
shift buttons. The program will also control the displays on the MicroKONTROL,
showing parameter names and values.
About the default mapping:
D The main LCD display shows the name of the device currently controlled
by the MicroKONTROL.
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 serves as pitch bend (horizontally), mod wheel (up), breath
controller (down) and channel pressure (joystick button).
Whether a Reason device responds to breath control or channel pressure de-
pends on its settings.
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 "Hex Lock" and "Enter" 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 upper pad buttons serve as mute
buttons.
D Line Mixer 6:2
The "Hex Lock" and "Enter" buttons determine whether the encoders should con-
trol pan or sends.
D Subtractor
The "Hex Lock" and "Enter" buttons select variations (Filter & Amp, Osc or Mod)
for the encoders, sliders and pad buttons.
D Malström
The "Hex Lock" and "Enter" 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 chromatically
from C2 up.
D Redrum
Only drum sounds 1-8 can be controlled.
The "Hex Lock" and "Enter" buttons select variations. There are four variations:
Pitch/Play, Length/Play, Pitch/Pattern and Length/Pattern. In the "Pitch" varia-
tions, 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 "Hex Lock" and "Enter" 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.
