I'm sorry if it is a too obvious question but I did research before posting and i couldn't find any answer anywhere, maybe someone can put me on the way and i'll thrive! On the padKONTROL there's [PROG. CHANGE] button, when you hold it and dial a number it...   ? What is it supposed to do ? Ok I know i've read it Change midi program.. How do you set some MIDI program first on the padKONTROL, and apparently so much that 127 of them can be recalled ... !? I know It may sound like a "Blond" question but .. can't figure it out, what can i do with MIDI PROGRAMs and How may i write mine!? |

Hey I kinda figured it out ! ;D  Yeah i know i know ... i don't sleep much.... I can't sleep well when something is bugging my mind. I think about it whenever I go, in class everywhere... Hey Stray it hit me when I saw you "Tip for pK and TPK users" on Youtube. But i guess that the more I learn about the pK the more I see that it is really "ALive"-users friendly, maybe i should get familiar faster with Live now, just got the Live 7. In the video you said that the [PROG. CHANGE] wasn't specific to only live.. but .. can't get it to work with reason. PLEASE MASTER E-N'LIGHT ME! by the way ... reason 4.0 Actually, you and your youtube vids are what convinced me in my hesitation between the MPD24 and the pK, so YOU HAVE THE MORAL DUTY OF.... lol  just kidding!! I need to stay way from my pK for a moment i guess,.. see i'm a Pharm Student and i'm using study time, but just after you answer me. I'm passionate bout it! |

just one last thing quick .. i know that i can mess with the remote config of the control surface by either going to the C:\program Files\propellerhead\reason\ "codecs" or "templates documents\Remotes Files"
or maybe in C:\user\(myname)\AppData\Roaming\Propellerhead\remote .... (Roaming cause i'm on Vista)
However i only have a vague idea ! The Master should know better maybe!
Reminder: .. still talking about making the [PROG CHANGE] button + dial make change the patch of instruments in reason, (the same way it changes midi program with live VSTs) if you know what I mean .

Sorry for the delay.
Program Changes will only work with stuff that supports them. I’m pretty sure Reason devices don’t support them…Live’s instruments don’t either. The VSTi I was using in the vid was Vanguard.
You can switch between patches on Reason devices with nativeKONTROL Universal…but you can’t switch to a specific patch…you can only go up/down patches.
In terms of editing/creating Remote scripts, I’ve only messed around with it slightly myself because I really only use Reason as a sound module ReWired to Live…but it opens up a lot of possibilities. It basically lets you setup a script that defines all the MIDI messages the pK sends. Then another script that determines what those messages control in each Reason device.
The hardest part about it would probably be the pK definitions because they’re written in hex. For example, to define CC7 (Volume)…you’d write “b? 07 xx”. For CC74 (Brightness), you’d write “b? 4A xx”. CC7 or 74 are decimal numbers…you have to convert those to hexadecimal. 7 = 07 in hex. 74 = 4A
Translator has a built in decimal-to-hex converter…you could also probably find a web-based one.
I hope that helps.
