No remotemap? So it's sort of a mouse replacement?

All you do is hover your mouse over the parameter you want to control and turn the knob. Check out QVProd's review for more.

Weird. Will look into this.

[EDIT] Ok it was in the Forum Rules and Announcements forum. Moved it to Hardware and other Software. See if you can comment now.

Yes. But not just mouse movement. Mouse click+drag as well, which is what is making me want a Control Master after recently discovering it. Just hover over a parameter with the mouse pointer, move the control knob adjust. No mapping, no set-up (beyond custom configuration of the buttons on the device).

I love the idea of this. And to get away from click-dragging with the mouse I think would be a significant work flow improvement in Reason because of the potential issues associated with doing this - if you miss a parameter & click+drag you end up moving the device & not the intended parameter, which I find hugely frustrating when tweaking.

I've been waffling on about this a lot lately. People must be thinking I work for the Kontrol Master manufacturers! I don't. I just think it's a fantastic idea that is making more & more sense the more I think about it. I feel I'm close to ordering one. Just not the best time with other financial burdens to consider right now ...... maybe they can wait another month
