E. Reason

i. 

Reason Setup

After starting Reason you can easily set up the SL MkIII. Connect the SL MkIII to your computer via USB, then go to 

Preferences > Control Surfaces and click ‘the Auto-detect Surfaces’ button. A dialogue window with a progress bar 

will ap-pear, and once the process is complete the SL MkIII will appear in the list. If ‘Use with Reason’ is checked, and 

‘Novation SL MkIII SL MkIII From DIN 1’ is enabled, you should be ready to start controlling Reason with the SL MkIII.

ii. Overview

The SL MkIII can control all the Instruments, Effects and Utilities in a Reason Rack (see picture below), as well as 

move between tracks.

iii. Instruments

Every time you load a new Instrument (and accordingly create a new MIDI track) the SL MkIII will automatically be 

assigned to that Instrument.

v. 

Control Layout

With the SL MkIII’s InControl mode you can take advantage of the following features in Reason:

• 

Track Left and Track Right buttons - Use these buttons to move between tracks in Reason’s Sequencer.

• 

Rotary Knobs - These can modify various parameters for Instruments, Ef-fects, Utilities and Players. Active  

 

knobs are displayed on the screens with parameter name and value.

• 

Pads - The SL MkIII’s pads can control various parameters in Reason. When using the Kong Drum Designer  

 

Instrument, pads select Kong’s indi-vidual drum sounds. The drum’s main parameters then appear on the  

 

screens, and the rotary knobs can adjust those parameter values.
