MiniLab Mk II Knobs With Reason

[DerickHeisler]

Hi everyone. Yesterday I got my Arturia Minilab MkII to use for my sound engineering classes. Currently, I'm working mainly in Reason, and have been trying to get the controller set up to work properly. I followed this guide:

and have been able to get at least some functionality out of it. However, I'm having a few issues.

I'm trying to get the knobs on memory bank 3 to be unassigned so that I can quickly use overrides to change parameters with my knobs. However, when I try to do this I run into several issues. When setting up the keyboard automatically in reason as a MIDI control keyboard, the knobs function in relative mode, with the parameters set in MIDI control center. However, trying to use the unassigned knobs in memory 3 doesn't result in any MIDI input in reason. I found out that if I set up the controller again separately as a control surface, that it will recognize these controls. When I do this however, the knobs stop functioning as relative, and won't let me change the parameters correctly when assigning them to the knobs. In the override mappings, trying to change the knobs in this mode makes reason freak out and switch between the 2 separate 'versions' of the controller, often crashing the software outright. The only way I seem to be able to get the knobs to function correctly is by not setting it up as a separate control surface, but this leaves me unable to program the knobs as I see fit. Is this just something I'm missing in MIDI control center? Any help is appreciated.

Still interested in this? Do you ever heard of Reason Remote? What is missing in the video is how to add these additional encoders to the codec, setting it up in Arturias MIDI control center is only the half way.

Erm the nektar aura isn't mutch more expensive and automatically maps to reason,you could send the arturia back and get won,I've done this with a couple of pieces of gear and the shop was very helpful i said it didn't do what I bought it to do and they gave me a full refund over the phone.

Would love to know how to get my mkII to work with reason 12. Never heard of Reason remote though. Thanks in advance.

Have to watch the video again later that day. But you can take a look here and download SDK from RS:

Did anything ever come of this? I was looking at getting a minilab mkII to use with Reason, but it sounds like there is no autodetect for the mkII version, and the codec/controls aren't great?
