Reason Remote™support for Mackie

control surfaces

This document describes the Remote implementation for Mackie Control,

Extender and C4. For general information about how to use Remote in Reason,

please refer to the Operation Manual in the Reason program folder.

About Map Versions

The default mappings described below refer to the latest versions of the Mackie

Remote files (map version 1.0.6 or later). If controls don’t seem to be mapped as

described, please check that you have the latest Remote files installed.

To check the version of a Remote map file:

1. Navigate to

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Propellerhead

Software\Remote\Maps\Mackie (Windows) or

Library:Application Support:Propellerhead Software:Remote:Maps:Mackie

(Mac OS X)

2. Use a text editor application to open the .remotemap file in question.

3. At the beginning of the .remotemap file, look for the line that starts with “Map

Version”.

Mackie Control

Requirements/Setting up:

Reason supports the Mackie Control, or (typically) the Mackie Control Universal in

"Mackie Control" mode.

If you are using a Mackie Control Universal, you need to select the "Mackie

Control" mode of operation: Hold down the SELECT buttons for Ch 1 and Ch 2

and turn on the device - you are then asked which mode of operation to use.

Select "Mackie Ctrl" by pressing the corresponding V-Pot.

You must connect the Mackie Control using two-way MIDI (both MIDI In and Out

should be connected).

Reason will automatically find the Mackie Control if you click the Auto-detect

button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the Preferences.

About the default mapping:

Note: In the mapping descriptions below, the name labels refer to the default

Logic overlay.

Global modifiers and modes

Pressing the Flip button swaps the functions of the faders and the rotaries. To

return to the normal mapping, press Global View (next to the Flip button).

Normally, the display shows the name of the currently controlled Reason device.

Pressing the Name/Value button will make the display show the names of the

Reason parameters controlled by the faders instead. Press the button again to

show the device name.

Selecting another target device automatically resets Flip state and display mode

to default settings.

Mixer 14:2

The Channel Left/Right buttons determine which channels should be controlled

(1-8 or 9-14). You select what the rotary encoders should control by pressing

the following Assignment buttons:

Track button : Aux Send 1

Send button : Aux Send 2

Pan/Surround button : Pan

Plug-in Button : Aux Returns

EQ Button : Treble

Instrument Button : Bass

Alternatively you can press the Select button for a channel - the rotaries will then

control all sends, EQ and pan for the selected channel only. The assignment

display shows the number of the selected channel. To return to normal mixer

mode, press the Select button again.

Line Mixer 6:2

If you press the “Track” Assignment button, the rotaries control the sends. If you

press the Pan/Surround button they control pans.

Subtractor

There are two variations, "Filter" and "Amp & Osc" - you select variation by

pressing Assignment buttons “Track” and “Send”.

Redrum

Use the Channel Left/Right buttons to select which drum channels should be

controlled (1-8 or 9-10).

You can audition the drum sounds with the Select buttons.

The rotaries can control a number of different settings for the drum sounds - you

select which setting by pressing the following Assignment buttons:

Track button : Pitch

Send button : Length

Pan button : Pan

Plug-ins Button : Send 1

EQ Button : Tone/Sample Start/Pitch Bend Amount

Dyn Button : Velocity Sensitivity

Buttons F1-F8 select pattern and buttons F9-F12 select bank.

Malström

There are three variations, "Osc/Mod A", "Osc/Mod B" and "Filter" - select by

pressing the Assignment buttons Track, Send or Pan/Surround, respectively.

BV-512 Vocoder

The faders control the band levels - use the Channel Left/Right buttons to select

which vocoder bands to control.

Matrix

Buttons F1-F8 select pattern and buttons F9-F12 select bank. The Select button

for channel 1 controls the Pattern Enable switch.

Mackie Control + Extender Combo

Requirements/Setting up:

To use the Mackie Control Universal and Extender with Reason , you need to

select the "Mackie Control" mode of operation for both control surfaces:

Hold down the SELECT buttons for Ch 1 and Ch 2 and turn on the first control

surface - you are then asked which mode of operation to use. Select "Mackie Ctrl"

by pressing the corresponding V-Pot.

Repeat this for the other control surface.

You must connect the both control surfaces using two-way MIDI (both MIDI In

and Out should be connected for both surfaces).

Reason will automatically find the Mackie Control and the Extender if you click the

Auto-detect button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the

Preferences.

Since the program cannot know how you wish to use the auto-detected control

surfaces, this will add four Mackie control surfaces to the list:

Control, Combo - Extender Left, Combo - Extender Right and Extender.

You have to manually tick the “Use with Reason” checkbox for the surface

configuration you wish to use. In this case, select either “Combo, Extender Left”

or “Combo, Extender Right”, depending on whether you have the Extender to the

left or to the right of the Mackie Control.

About the default mapping:

When you use a combo of Mackie Control and Extender, the default mapping is

very similar to that of the Mackie Control - please see that description (earlier in

this document) for details about all global mappings (transport, navigation, etc.).

The Extender adds eight more channels to the Mackie Control. This leads to the

following differences in the mapping for various Reason devices:

Mixer 14:2

All 14 channels are available at the same time - the Channel Left/Right buttons are

not used.

Line Mixer 6:2

Rotaries 1-6 control channel pan settings; rotaries 9-14 control Aux Send levels.

Subtractor

There are no variations - all settings are available at the same time.

Malström

The first eight sets of faders, rotaries and buttons always control filter settings.

Faders/rotaries/buttons 9-16 can either control settings for Oscillator

A+Modulator A or Oscillator B+Modulator B. These variations are selected by

pressing the Assignment buttons Track or Send, respectively.

NN19

A few more parameters are available in the default mapping, due to the larger

number of faders and rotaries.

Redrum

All 10 drum channels are available at the same time - the Channel Left/Right

buttons are not used.

BV-512 Vocoder

As with the Mackie Control, the faders control the band levels and you use the

Channel Left/Right buttons to select which vocoder bands to control. With the

Combo however, you can control sixteen bands at the same time.

Mackie Extender

This section describes using the Extender as a stand-alone control surface. If you

use it together with the Mackie Control (as a single unit), please use one of the

“Combo” control surface options, as described on the previous pages.

Requirements/Setting up:

To use the Mackie Extender with Reason, you need to select the "Mackie Control"

mode of operation: Hold down the SELECT buttons for Ch 1 and Ch 2 and turn

on the Extender - you are then asked which mode of operation to use. Select

"Mackie Ctrl" by pressing the corresponding V-Pot.

You must connect the Mackie Extender using two-way MIDI (both MIDI In and

Out should be connected).

Reason will automatically find the Mackie Extender if you click the Auto-detect

button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the Preferences.

About the default mapping:

Global functions

The Solo and Mute buttons for channel 8 moves the master keyboard input up or

down in the track list, respectively.

The mapping for the Extender makes use of global “Keyboard Shortcut

Variations” for many devices - this means that you can change variation by using

keyboard shortcuts in Reason. You can also use the Record buttons for channel

1 and 2 to select the previous or next keyboard shortcut varitation.

For devices with patches, the Record buttons for channel 7 and 8 select the

previous or next patch.

Mixer 14:2

The Extender can control seven mixer channels at a time - press Select button 8

to choose channel 1-7 or 8-14.

Fader 8 controls the master level.

The rotary encoders can control Pan, Treble, Bass, Aux Send 1 or Aux Send 2.

This is selected by using keyboard shortcut variations in Reason (See the note

above about using the Record 1-2 buttons to step through keyboard shortcut

variations).

Alternatively you can press the Select button for a channel - the rotaries will then

control all sends, EQ and pan for the selected channel only. The assignment

display shows the number of the selected channel. To return to normal mixer

mode, press the Select button again.

Line Mixer 6:2

The rotary encoders can control Pan or Aux Sends. You select this by using

keyboard shortcut variations.

Combinator

The first four rotary encoders and Select buttons are mapped to the Combinator

controls. Record button 4 controls the Run Pattern Devices button.

Subtractor

There are two keyboard shortcut variations, "Filter" and "Amp & Osc".

Redrum

Use the Select 8 button to select which drum channels should be controlled (1-7

or 8-10).

The Mute, Solo and Select buttons can either control pattern and bank selection

or serve as mute, solo and audition buttons for the drum sounds. This is selected

using keyboard shortcut variations.

The rotaries can either control drum pitch or length, depending on the selected

keyboard shortcut variation. In “length” mode, the rotary buttons switch between

decay/gate mode for the drum sounds.

Record button 4 is always mapped to the Run button.

Malström

There are three keyboard shortcut variations, “Filter”, “Osc/Mod A” and

“Osc/Mod B”.

NN19

There are two keyboard shortcut variations, “Filter&LFO” and “Osc”.

BV-512 Vocoder

The faders control the band levels - use keyboard shortcut variations to select

which vocoder bands to control.

Matrix

Solo 1-4 and Mute 1-4 control pattern selection; Select 1-4 control bank

selection.

Record button 4 controls the Run button.

Requirements/Setting up:

You must connect the Mackie C4 using two-way MIDI (both MIDI In and Out

should be connected).

Reason will automatically find the Mackie C4 if you click the Auto-detect button on

the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the Preferences.

About the default mapping:

Transport and other global functions:

The buttons at the lower section of the C4 panel give you basic control over

Reason’s transport and other global settings:

Spot Erase button: Record

Chan Strip button: Stop

Function button: Play

Control button: Rewind

Alt button: Fast Forward

Lock button: Overdub/Replace

Marker button: Reset Automation Override

Track button: Loop On/Off

Shift button: Undo

Option button: Redo

Track Left/Right buttons: Target previous/next track (moves master keyboard

input up or down in the track list)

For devices using patches, the Slot Up/Down buttons select the

previous/next patch.

For effect devices, the Split button controls the Bypass/On/Off switch.

Mixer 14:2

When the Mixer 14:2 is controlled by the C4, each mixer channel is represented

by a vertical column of four rotaries.

The Bank Left/Right buttons determine which channels are controlled (1-7 or 8-

14). The rightmost column of rotaries control Aux Return levels and the Master

Level (the rotary in the lower right corner).

The lowest row of rotaries controls channel levels, with the rotary buttons serving

as Solo buttons.

The second lowest row of rotaries controsl channel pan settings, with the rotary

buttons serving as Mute buttons.

The two upper rows of rotaries can either control channel EQ (treble and bass),

Aux Send 1-2 or Aux Send 3-4. This is selected by the Parameter (Single)

Left/Right buttons. In EQ mode, the second row of rotary buttons is mapped to

the EQ on/off switches. In Aux Send 3-4 mode, the second row of rotary buttons

is mapped to the Aux Send 4 Pre Fader switches.

Line Mixer 6:2

The lowest row of rotaries controls channel levels, with the rotary buttons serving

as Solo buttons. The Master Level is on the rotary in the lower right corner.

The second lowest row of rotaries controls channel pan settings, with the rotary

buttons serving as Mute buttons.

The second highest row of rotaries controls the Aux Send settings. The Aux

Return Level is on the rotary farthest to the right in this row, with the rotary button

controlling the Aux Pre/Post switch.

Subtractor

The two lowest rows of rotaries control filter settings and the amp envelope.

The two upper rows of rotaries either control oscillator settings or LFO/Mod

envelope settings. To switch between these modes, use the Parameter (Single)

Left/Right buttons.

Malström

The two lowest rows of rotaries control filter, shaper and master settings.

The two upper rows of rotaries will either control Oscillator A settings, Oscillator

B settings or Modulator Settings. To step between these modes, use the

Parameter (Single) Left/Right buttons.

Redrum

Each column of rotaries corresponds to a drum sound channel on the Redrum.

The Bank Left/Right buttons determine which channels are controlled (drum 1-7

or drum 8-10).

The lowest row of rotaries controls drum channel levels, with the rotary buttons

serving as Solo buttons. The Master Level is on the rotary in the lower right

corner.

The second lowest row of rotaries controls drum channel pan settings, with the

rotary buttons serving as Mute buttons. The Run button is controlled by the

rightmost rotary button in this row.

There are two modes for the rotaries and rotary buttons in the two upper rows:

In "Pattern mode", the top row buttons select pattern and the first buttons in the

second row select bank.

In "Parameter mode", the rotaries control drum pitch and length, top row buttons

trigger the drum sounds and the buttons in the second row control the

Decay/Gate switches.

To change mode, use the Parameter (Single) Left/Right buttons.

BV-512 Vocoder

The rotaries in the lowest row control the basic vocoder parameters.

The second highest row rotaries control the band levels. Which bands are

controlled (1-8, 9-16, 17-24 or 25-32) is selected with the Parameter (Single)

Left/Right buttons.

Matrix Pattern Sequencer

The rotary buttons in the second highest row select pattern, and the first rotary

buttons in the third row select bank.

The rotary button in the lower right corner controls the Run button.
