Reason CONTROL GUIDE

Launchkey’s InControl mode offers a world of opportunity for controlling parameters in Propellerhead
Reason. Every device has its own mapping, which allows you to switch quickly between different
devices and control the most important parameters for each. This document lists the parameters that
can be controller by Launchkey for each device.

Devices in Reason can only be controlled if they have a corresponding track. Many devices have tracks
by default (e.g. Thor) but many do not (e.g. most effect devices). If your device does not have a track,
right-click it and select ‘Create Track for...’. Launchkey should now have full control over this device.

If you wish to control the Reason Main Mixer, right-click on the mixer’s master fader and select
‘Lock Novation Launchkey 25/49/61 InControl to this device’.

Note: To use Launchkey in Reason, you must first install the Launchkey software bundle.

Note: Launchkey in Reason makes use of ‘pot pickup’. This means that faders and knobs on the screen
will move only when the physical control being moved has travelled past the position shown on the
screen. This helps to avoid sudden jumps in parameters.
