The KK controllers have a way of switching on board but it'd be interesting to see how that's managed via third party mapping. That could definitely translate to Reason compatibility as well.Īs far as 3rd party controllers with KK, it's been out for a while and I haven't tried it, but the main caveat would be that The Komplete Kontrol instances don't automatically switch when you switch tracks. Fair point that making something that could naturally control REs on ELK would be a smart idea if they intend to ever really market it. Definitely not a bet I'd be willing to hold my breath over.Īlso, just noticed that Komplete Kontrol also now supports third party keyboards! Going to look into how that might look/operate when using Reason, as I expect the Remote Mapping layer might make things tricky. But of course only time will tell on this front. VST support is obviously an issue that no keyboard tackles 100%.Īnd actually, the small market for deep Reason integration is maybe a strong motivation for them to fill the gap themselves.

Especially so if they were to incorporate their ELK partnership to host those REs locally on the keyboard. If they make a keyboard that can control REs inside a VST wrapper, similar to KK, they might be able to get further than we think. Judging from the market of current midi controllers the market for deep Reason control is very slim, plus it would also need to control VSTs and other DAWs pretty well to really be marketable.

Granted they have new leadership, but I have my doubts about that. 49-key Controller with Fatar Keybed and Custom Controls Designed for Total Integration with NKS-ready Software and the included Komplete Select Plug-in Bundle - Mac/PC Standalone, AAX Native, VST, AU and Polycarbonate Cover. There is my strong suspicion that Props have some hardware in store themselves. Komplete Kontrol S49 Smart Keyboard Controller with Decksaver Cover.
