All faders, rotary encoders and buttons on the BCF2000 are available as control surface items in Reason (except for the four Encoder Group buttons). The BCF2000 has up to 32 rotary encoders - four groups of eight encoders. You select which group to use by pressing the Encoder Group buttons below the display. How many groups are available when you are using the default mapping depends on which Reason device has MIDI input from the BCF - devices with few parameters may only use the first group, while devices with many parameters use all four groups. The motor faders on the BCF are not touch sensitive. This means that if they receive MIDI data from Reason (e.g. automated level changes) you cannot grab them and change their setting. To "punch in" on automated fader movements, you have to click and drag the corresponding parameter on the screen in Reason.
D Subtractor The faders control Filter Env and Amp Env parameters. Encoder Group 1 control Filter, FM, Osc Mix and Master Level parameters. Encoder Group 2 control Osc parameters. Encoder Group 3 control LFO and Noise parameters. The lower row buttons control Filter parameters: The upper row buttons control LFO and Osc parameters. D Malstrm The faders control Filter, Shaper and Master Level parameters. Encoder Group 1 control Filter, FM, Osc Mix and Master Level parameters. Encoder Group 1 Click (push) control Filter switch parameters. Encoder Group 2 control Osc A parameters. Encoder Group 3 control Osc B parameters. Encoder Group 4 control Modulator and Osc parameters. The buttons control Osc, Shaper, Filter and Modulator switch parameters. D NN-19 Faders 1-7 control filter parameters and fader 8 controls master level. Encoder Group 1 control Osc, Amp Env and Portamento parameters. Encoder Group 2 control LFO parameters. Lower row buttons control various switch parameters. D Dr. REX Faders 1-7 control filter parameters and fader 8 controls master level. Encoder Group 1 control Osc and Amp Env parameters. Encoder Group 2 control LFO parameters. Lower row buttons 1-3 control various switch parameters. D Redrum There are two keyboard shortcut variations: Play Mode and Pattern Select Mode. In Play Mode, the upper row buttons can be used to audition drum sounds and the lower row buttons are Mute buttons. In Pattern Select Mode, buttons 1-6 on the upper and lower row select patterns and banks. The Preset left/right buttons select which drum channels should be controlled (drum 1-7 or drum 8-10). Fader 8 always controls the master level. D BV-512 Vocoder The band levels are controlled by the faders. The Preset left/right buttons select which bands should be controlled. Encoders 1:1-1:6 and buttons 1-2 and 7 control the panel parameters. Encoder Group 2 control Mod level for the selected bands. D RPG-8 Upper row buttons 1-8 control the panel switch parameters and Encoders 1:1-1:7 control the continuous panel parameters. D Matrix Buttons 1-6 on the upper and lower row select patterns and banks. Button 7 on the upper row controls the Pattern Enable switch. Foot Switch controls Run.

About the controls

The faders should be in the default mode (volume 1-8; no Fader Func. LED lit). The Knob Func. LED should not be lit. Only knobs 1-7 are used. This is because knob 8 is hardwired to control the internal MIDI tempo inside the UF keyboard. All performance controllers are supported. This includes pedals, breath controller and aftertouch (if activated on the UF keyboard). Note that the results of using expression pedal, breath controller or aftertouch depend on the settings on the Reason device youre playing.
Generally, the master fader controls the master level of the Reason device (where applicable). For devices with many parameters, keyboard shortcut variations are used.
D BV512 Vocoder The basic vocoder parameters are controlled by the knobs, while the faders control the band levels (band 1-8, 9-16, 17-24 or 25-32) depending on the keyboard shortcut variation. D Matrix Pads 10, 7, 4 and 1 select Bank A-D. Pads 11, 8, 5, 2, 12, 9, 6 and 3 select Pattern 1-8. Faders1-3 control the Matrix panel parameters. Switch 1 controls Run and switch 2 controls Pattern Enable. D Matrix Pattern Sequencer Knob 1 selects pattern in the current bank, while knob 2 selects bank. Knob 3 controls the sequencer resolution. D ReGroove Knobs 1-4 control A1-A4 Shuffle. Fader 1-4 control A1-A4 Groove Amount. Fader 5-8 control A1-A4 Slide.

Drehbank

To use the Drehbank with Reason, you need to select Bank 2 and make sure this isn't changed from the factory default settings. You can reset the Drehbank to factory default settings in the following way: Keep the Snap button pressed while you turn on the Drehbank. The Snap LED will now be off and the two other LEDS (Bank 1 and Bank 2) will be lit. Release the Snap button and press the Bank 2 button to select Bank 2. The Drehbank can not be auto-detected by Reason; you have to add it manually by clicking the Add button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page, and selecting the control surface from the Manufacturer and Model menus.
The Pocket Dial makes use of keyboard shortcut variations for many Reason devices.

Pocket Fader

To use the Pocket Fader with Reason you need to select preset 0 and make sure this isn't changed from the factory default settings. To select preset 0, set all DIP switches on the back to "off". If you have changed the settings in preset 0, you will have to restore it using the editor supplied with your Pocket Fader. Please refer to your Pocket Fader manual for information on how to use the editor. The Pocket Fader makes use of keyboard shortcut variations for many Reason devices.

D Redrum Buttons A1-A8 select patterns while buttons B1-B4 select bank A-D. Button B8 is mapped to the Run button. The sliders control the drum levels while the rotaries are mapped to the pitch parameters. By default, drum channels 1-8 are controlled, but you can switch to a second variation to control drum channels 9-10. D Effect devices - general The Bypass/On/Off switch on all effect devices is mapped to button B1. D BV-512 Vocoder The main parameters are controlled by the rotaries and buttons. The sliders adjust band levels - which vocoder bands are controlled depends on the selected variation. D Matrix Pattern Sequencer Buttons A1-A8 selects pattern in the current bank, while buttons B1-B4 selects bank. Button B7 controls Pattern Enable and B8 controls Run.

PCR-30/50/80/A30

When you use the PCR keyboard with Reason, you need to make sure that memory set 0 is selected. This is the memory set selected by default when you turn the PCR keyboard on. If you connect the PCR keyboard via USB or two-way MIDI, Reason will automatically find it if you click the Auto-detect button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the Preferences. The PCRA30 will be recognized as a PCR-A30, while the other models will be recognized as "PCR Series". The PCR keyboards have two native MIDI outputs (within the USB connection). Reason will automatically find the first port on autodetect, but you may need to manually select the second port: Select the PCR keyboard in the control surfaces list, click Edit, select the second port ("PCR 2" or similar) on the second MIDI Input Port menu and click OK. If only the first port is properly selected, everything will work fine except the L1, L2 and L3 buttons.
The following buttons are available for use in Reason: B1/B2 (see below), B3, B4, B5, B6, L1, L2, L3 (the last three requires that both USB MIDI ports are selected - see above).
Due to the settings in preset 0, buttons B1 and B2 cannot be used as two separate buttons. Instead they appear as a single control surface item called "Dec/Inc Buttons". You can map this item to a parameter in Reason.

D On the keypad, buttons 4 and 7 are used for Target Previous/Next Track. D Buttons 6 and 9 are used for Select Previous/Next Patch, where applicable. D For effect devices, button 0 controls the Bypass/On/Off state. D When controlling devices with many parameters, keyboard shortcut variations are used.
D Buttons 8 and 9 are used for Target Previous/Next Track (move the master keyboard input up or down in the track list). D For devices with patches, buttons 6 and 7 are used for Select Previous/Next Patch. D For effect devices, button 0 controls the Bypass/On/Off status. D With most Reason devices, the Master Volume Fader (below the display) is mapped to the Master Level. D On the Redrum and Matrix, button 1 steps through pattern 1-8 in the selected bank, while button 2 steps through bank A-D. Button 0 controls the Pattern Enable switch:

MK-449C

Reason will automatically find the MK-449C if you click the Autodetect button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the Preferences. To use MK-449C with Reason, you need to select preset 4 and make sure this isn't changed from the factory settings. If you have connected the keyboard via USB, Reason will restore preset 4 to factory settings for you - however, note that you need to select preset 4 manually after this is done. You can also restore your MK-449C manually by holding down the + and - buttons when you turn the keyboard on - note that this restores all presets to factory settings, deleting any changes you have made.

MK-461C

Reason will automatically find the MK-461C if you click the Autodetect button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the Preferences. To use MK-461C with Reason, you need to select preset 4 and make sure this isn't changed from the factory settings. If you have connected the keyboard via USB, Reason will restore preset 4 to factory settings for you - however, note that you need to select preset 4 manually after this is done. You can also restore your MK-461C manually by holding down the + and - buttons when you turn the keyboard on - note that this restores all presets to factory settings, deleting any changes you have made.

There is no default mapping for individual Reason devices. Instead, by default the TranzPort is used for controlling transport and sequencer functions. However, you can use Remote Overrides to map TranzPort controls to the desired device parameters if needed. The display shows the name of the target sequencer track in the current song (the track with master keyboard input). The lower part of the display shows a peak level meter (for outputs 1-2 on the audio hardware interface) along with the current song position. The Data Wheel moves the song position, in steps of one quarter note (or one 1/16th note, when Shift is pressed). The main transport buttons at the front of the device control the corresponding functions on Reason's transport panel (Play, Stop, etc.).
