Just tried it out and Transport (Start, Stop, and Record) works. Had to do a remote override for loop, but even that wasn't possible before. Can also use left knob/cursor to switch between tracks and navigate the sequencer...We've also added MCU support for the S-Series Mk2, A-Series, and M32 keyboards, as well as a takeover mode when MIDI mapping third-party controllers...
Komplete Kontrol Keyboards Now Support Reason (via MCU)!
Granted they have new leadership, but I have my doubts about that. Judging from the market of current midi controllers the market for deep Reason control is very slim, plus it would also need to control VSTs and other DAWs pretty well to really be marketable.
These are really good news, I received my Komplete Kontrol last week and was already trying to learn how to bind some buttons to these functions.
Edit: Do you have a link where the whole information is listed? <-- I think I've just found it myself:

I'm not 100% sure about that. If they make a keyboard that can control REs inside a VST wrapper, similar to KK, they might be able to get further than we think. Especially so if they were to incorporate their ELK partnership to host those REs locally on the keyboard. VST support is obviously an issue that no keyboard tackles 100%.
And actually, the small market for deep Reason integration is maybe a strong motivation for them to fill the gap themselves. But of course only time will tell on this front. Definitely not a bet I'd be willing to hold my breath over.
Also, just noticed that Komplete Kontrol also now supports third party keyboards! Going to look into how that might look/operate when using Reason, as I expect the Remote Mapping layer might make things tricky. I'll post here if I make any progress.
Perhaps. Fair point that making something that could naturally control REs on ELK would be a smart idea if they intend to ever really market it. That could definitely translate to Reason compatibility as well.botnotbot wrote: ↑21 Jun 2019I'm not 100% sure about that.

As far as 3rd party controllers with KK, it's been out for a while and I haven't tried it, but the main caveat would be that The Komplete Kontrol instances don't automatically switch when you switch tracks. The KK controllers have a way of switching on board but it'd be interesting to see how that's managed via third party mapping.

The encoders on the M32 are so good, it’s a shame there aren’t any built-in mappings. Since it’s using the Mackie protocol, maybe it would be possible to customize a codec and Remote map for it, like for the Nektar Panorama?
Speaking of which, that’s probably the biggest reason my P4 has been gathering dust: the encoders just aren’t that good. NI’s knobs really put it in stark contrast.

No. Just transport works.
I've been trying to use my Native Instruments S49 MK2 with Reason, but pressing the REC or PLAY keys results in a sound (like if C2 was pressed).
Any tips on how to make it work?
I selected the A61 from the list and just used Port 1 for the input and output. I forget what the middle setting is off the roof my head, but that’s set to Komplete Kontrol DAW
