FACTORY PRESET DOCUMENTATION
MPK49 FACTORY PRESET LISTINGS PRESET # PROGRAM DESCRIPTION LiveLite This preset is designed to be used with the Ableton Live Lite software DAW, included with the MPK49. 2 Reason This preset supports the Reason Remote protocol with supplied codec files. To use Reason with the Remote protocol, you will need to install the supplied Reason codec files. Each module in Reason will automatically map itself to the MPK49’s controllers.
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.
The Vyzex Editor included on the CD is a great way to customize or restore presets to their factory condition! The MPK49 preset for Reason makes use of pad banks A, B and C for playing notes. With these three pad banks you get a 3-octave range of pitch control. Pad bank D is configured to be used as a control bank. This pad bank allows you to use the pads as switches for certain features. The mapped parameters are shown in the graphic above.
