- Page 5 USING THE MPD24 WITH PROPELLERHEADS REASON thousands of controllers. The people at Propellerheads have developed a way to remap a single control surface to each of the modules in Reason. This protocol is called Reason Remote. We have included all the files necessary to enable Reason to find the MPD24 and map its controls to whatever module you have selected in the sequencer.
- Page 6 The MPD24 preset for Reason makes use of pad banks A, B and C for playing notes. With these three pad banks you get a 4-octave range of pitch control. Pad bank D is configured to be used as a control bank. This pad bank allows you to use the pads as switches for certain features.

The ability to map pads to trigger individual drum hits and patterns on different voice engines, as well as to trigger complete scenes makes for unlimited potential in live performance.
