Reason
Your Launchkey can serve as a controller for many tasks in Propellerhead Reason. The behaviour
described in the Standalone Features section remains the same in Reason. In addition, you can modify
your Launchkey to suit your needs with Custom Modes. The functionality of the Launchkey dedicated
to Reason is detailed below.
Setup
To set up Launchkey for use with Reason you will need to download the necessary script, to do this
follow the following steps:
• Follow the link to the Novation Customer Portal on novationmusic.com.
• Register Launchkey [MK3].
• Go to My Hardware > Launchkey [MK3] > Downloads/Drivers.
• Download and run the Reason Script Installer.
With Reason and the script installed, plug your Launchkey into your Mac or PC’s USB port. Launchkey
will be automatically detected and the Keyboards and Control Surfaces window will appear, if it
does not you can open it by going to Reason > Preferences > Control surfaces. Make sure “Use with
Reason” is checked for the Novation Launchkey MK3 device. Close the window. Now if you hold the
Shift button on the Launchkey the pads will look like this:
Transport Control
• Quantise - Toggles quantise On/Off, quantising incoming MIDI
• Click - toggles the metronome click
• Undo - pressing this will trigger the undo function
• Play and Stop - pressing these buttons will initiate playback of the track
• Record - pressing this will trigger the record function
• Loop - toggles the transport loop (“cycle mode”)
