Reason allows you vast control over the software using their REASON REMOTE protocol. To access these features you will need to configure your MiniLab (one time) and install the Reason codecs (one time). Once you have loaded the correct preset into your MiniLab, and installed the Reason codecs, you will have access to transports, loop, metronome on/off, count in on/off, track and preset selection and some level of control for most devices within Reason. Setting up your MiniLab Update your firmware The first step in making your MiniLab work with Reason is to make sure you have the latest firmware in your MiniLab controller. You can see your firmware version when you power up the MiniLab. Visit the ‘resources’ page of your particular keyboard model at: http://www.arturia.com to get the latest firmware version. 2.1 and above for MiniLab Make sure to read the directions and follow the steps EXACTLY to update your firmware. Installing the Reason preset into your MiniLab You will need to load a REASON controller map to have all the parameters work correctly. Reason and your MiniLab will work using the default settings but you will not have proper access to the assigned switches. To do this you will need to get the latest MIDI CONTROL CENTER UNIVERSAL software. It is a free download from the www.arturia.com web pages. Look under the RESOURCES pages for your MiniLab keyboard. 1. Connect MINILAB to your computer 2. Boot up your MIDI CONTROL CENTER SOFTWARE 3. Click on the IMPORT button in the MCC software. 4. Find the file MiniLab-Reason map.MiniLab that should be in the folder of files you downloaded. 5. Once you have loaded the preset it will show up in the TEMPLATES section of the screen. 6. Choose the MEMORY location that you want the REASON map to reside. 7. Now click on the STORE button. Your MiniLab now has a MIDI map configured for use with Reason. You can now shut down the MIDI Control Center software. Just load it up when you want to use Reason with your MiniLab. Load the preset by pressing EDIT then Switch #2 ( RECALL) Use the VALUE dial to choose the preset number and then click the dial to load it. Installing the REASON REMOTE codecs Mac Installation Make sure that you are installing these files at the main Mac Harddrive Library folder on your MAC and not in the USER LIBRARY 1. Place the listed files in the following location. MINILAB.lua MINILAB.luacodec MINILAB.png Macintosh Hard drive/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Remote/Codecs/Lua Codecs/Arturia If the Arturia folder is not there, make a new folder named Arturia at this directory level and place the above 3 files in this new folder. 2. Place the listed file in the following location. MINILAB.remotemap Macintosh Hard drive/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Remote/Maps/Arturia If the Arturia folder is not there, make a new folder named Arturia at this directory level and place the appropriate xxx.remotemap file in this folder PC Installation 1. Place the listed files in the following location. C:\Users\All Users\Propellerhead Software\Remote\Codecs\Lua Codecs\Arturia If the Arturia folder is not there, make a new folder named Arturia at this directory level and place the above 3 files in this new folder. 2. Place the listed files in the following location. MINILAB.remotemap C:\Users\All Users\Propellerhead Software\Remote\Maps\Arturia If the Arturia folder is not there, make a new folder named Arturia at this directory level and place the appropriate xxx.remotemap file in this folder One last Step and you are ready to go. Now that you have the Reason codecs loaded and your MiniLab updated and the Reason map loaded you have one last step. Tell Reason to use your MiniLab as a master controller. 1. Boot up Reason 2. Open the PREFERENCES window. 3. Click on Control Surfaces, you should see your MINILAB controller in the list of controllers. 4. If you do not see the MINILAB icon with a green check mark: a. Click on the Auto-detect Surfaces button. Reason should now scan all your MIDI ports looking for any attached gear. b. If after the scan it still does not detect your controller, you will have to manually ADD it by clicking on the ADD button. 1. Choose Arturia and MINILAB as the manufacturer and device. 2. Then choose the In port and Out port and select the MiniLab. NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE REASON AND YOUR MINILAB. You should not have to do any of these setups in the future. You will just need to recall which ever preset number you stored the Reason map into on your MiniLab ( EDIT, RECALL then choose the memory number and press the Value dial to load). Reason will look for your MiniLab each time on boot up and will show you the green check if it is there and a red check mark if it is not there. Arturia MiniLab Controller Mappings per device. We have set up two different types of controls for the MiniLabs: 1. Master Controls -‐ transports, device program change and Device master volume. 2. Device Controls – knobs Master controls are knobs 1 and 9 and the PADS 9-‐16, will always remain the same no matter which device you have selected. These buttons/encoders are functions like your transports, metronome on/off, loop, quantize on/off, volume, etc. Device controls are the knobs that control your currently select device like a synth or effect. Below is a map showing all the controls. You may also refer to the image on the next page. Learn the Master Controls, these will be the controls you use the most. Reason Master Controls The Device Controls vary between each module. We have Kept the Volume knob on the MiniLab assigned to either the Level control of the chosen module or to a WET/DRY mix control if the module does not have a level control. The CUTOFF and RESONANCE knobs are assigned to the same knobs that Analog Lab controls are assigned in many cases. Due to the fact that some modules have multiple filters or different layouts with envelopes, etc. The mappings cannot all be the same but we tried to keep them logically laid out as best as possible.
