Remote Codecs released...

...and more on the way :)


I'm releasing some Remote Codec packs for the M-Audio MidAir MIDI Wireless Keyboard series and two other more obscure keyboards I own. So here are the links:
  • (this one will support the infinite 'Program Change' Value-to-Delta algorithm, because this little keyboard does something quite useful: as soon as 'Program Change' reaches 128 it restarts at 1 again. It also does the reverse of course, when reaching 1, if 'PROG -' is pressed again, it jumps to 128. This allows me to make it truly endless to the "eyes" of Reason, no matter at what value the keyboard is, it will always return a +1 or -1 delta to Reason. This is why I made Patch selection the default control for this one)

  • (just a simple generic codec, with correct name, thumbnail picture and 'Data Entry Fader' set to control every device 'Master Volume')
  • (3 versions are included for this one)
    • MidAir 25
      M-Audio MidAir 25 Remote Codec(supports the 8 Knobs, the 'Data Entry Fader', 'Sustain Switch' and some other less usable controls, like 'Reverb Depth', 'Aftertouch', 'Pan' and 'Program Change' as Value-type controls)
    • MidAir 25 (Special)
      (supports everything described above but 'Program Change' uses the 1 to 128 finite Value-to-Delta conversion algorithm)
    • MidAir 25 (Experimental)
      (as above with the added experimental Value-to-Delta conversion algorithm applied to 'Knob 8')
  • M-Audio MidAir 37 Remote CodecM-Audio MidAir 37 Remote Codec
    (I only provide the standard behavior on this one, at least for now)


So, after you download the Codec pack file, you unzip it to a temporary folder and simply follow the instructions provided in the ReadMe.txt file:
To install this codec, please copy the included folders "Codec" and "Maps" to the following directory:

Mac OSX:
Library:Application Support:Propellerhead Software:Remote

(older) Windows:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Propellerhead Software\Remote

(newer) Windows:
%ProgramData%\Propellerhead Software\Remote

Say you have a M-Audio MidAir 25. Here are the next steps:

Start Reason, go to 'Edit', 'Preferences', select the 'Keyboards and Control Surfaces' page, press 'Add', select 'M-Audio' in the Manufacturer pull-down list, then choose Model 'MidAir 25 (Special)' if you want to use 'Program Change' to select the current Track. Provide the correct MIDI input (or press the 'Find' button and play some keys on your MidAir) , press the 'OK' button and you're done :)

I plan to release a Generic MIDI Keyboard with the 2 types of Value-to-Delta conversion algorithm (the one included with Trust keyb and the other used with MidAir), so people with small'n'simpler MIDI keyboards that have at least 'Program Change' can use it with Reason for something useful :)

As soon as I revise my custom M-Audio Axiom 61 Remote Codec, I'll release it too.

...now to get some sleep -.-'

    Hi :)

    Unfortunately I don't seem to have that manual anywhere... although, now that I think of it, I still have the original case somewhere in the garage. Guess I could take a look inside :)

    ...I don't even remember this keyboard having a manual, but I guess I could be wrong :D

    I'll post a comment if I find something :)

    oops... sorry for not getting back sooner!

    But, no good news on this, I'm afraid. Can't find the original manual anywhere :/

    if you are still here could you update the folder locations for where to put these maps for windows 10. I recognise some of these folders but others seem to have had a name change? thanks

    Hi! thanks for sharing with us your work :), please could you re-upload your files again? It seems your links are down :S

    I have a iRig Keys 37 PRO and "Program Changes" MIDI control doesnt work, I would like to test with some of your codecs if I could get it work.

    Thanks!

      Hi,

      The generic codecs I did are for generic controllers with controls outputting MIDI CC allowing you to do Remote Overrides in Reason.
      These being generic can't possibly guess what every controller uses for specific buttons like the Transpor buttons. Some controllers used MMC commands, others use simple MIDI CC's, others use Mackie/HUI protocols, etc.

      Anyway, so... Have you tried any of the other existing M-Audio codecs manually ?

      One thing you could try is to see which of the M-Audio models supported by Reason look the closest (number and type of controls and buttons) then use those files (*.lua and *.remotemap) and tweak them to work with the Axiom Air.

      You'll need to know what's being output by your Axiom Air so you know what to change (or not) on the .lua you picked as the one to use and adapt.

Generic MIDI Channel aware Remote Codec+Map

Image
If you have a controller capable of sending MIDI messages on multiple MIDI Channels, like an M-Audio Axiom 's 4 Keyboard zones (so 4 MIDI Channels from the same keyboard) plus the Pads on Channel 10 or an Arturia BeatStep PRO that can send 2 sequences on their own MIDI Channel (1 and 2) and its Drum sequencer on MIDI Channel 10 plus the controller on, say, MIDI Channel 16, etc,  then you certainly felt the need for a MIDI Channel-aware type of Remote Codec like this one. Taking the BSP example, here's how to get its 4 sources of MIDI into Reason with this Remote Codec+Map. Add a Control Surface per MIDI source  with these 3 easy steps: 1)  Add a Control Surface from the " <Other> " Manufacturer and choose the correct " Generic Controller on MIDI Channel __ /< " Model with the MIDI Channel you'll need 2) Give it a proper name, so you know what's the real controller being used with this generic map (that you

Arturia SparkLE Remote Codec+Map

Hey all :) I've been asked last week to share my Arturia SparkLE Codec so here it is :) (unofficial) Arturia SparkLE Remote Codec (and partial Map) V1.0.2 ReDrum: Added Drum Channel selection support through the Dial encoder Edit Flam with Select+Loop Button Flam Amount  with  Select+Tempo Encoder Shuffle On/Off through Loop Button Actually, this has been sitting on my Remote projects folder for 2 years now (and far from being alone in there, eh), waiting for me to complete the rest of the Remote Map, because my initial need for it was really just to control Kong, Dr.OctoRex and ReDrum, that's why those are really the ones that got some partial love on the included map. Early this year, due to the improvements added to the ReDrum remoteables s ince Reason 8.2 , I ended up making some editing to support the new ReDrum remoteables :) I'm hoping that anyone wanting to extend it or complete it has enough examples already in the partial map I'm

Random access to a CV values list

Just added this little CV tool in the free download section (on the right): "K's Basics - Random access to a CV values list" It's basically a way to access through CV indexing, a list of 3x32 "cells" of CV values (well, one of the list is within the Note range of CV values, but this example is enough to demo the concept). So, if you're ever in need of generating a specific sequence of CV values controlled by another CV source, this is one way to do it :) It's like having random or sequential access (in whatever direction you want) to a specific custom list of CV or note values, by using a CV controlled "cursor" (just connect the CV "cursor" source to the Rotary 1 CV input and tweak the Combinator modulation programmer Min/Max values to your needs). This device was enough for something I was testing, but I'm sure it can be optimized with some thought and more time. It won't work well in a real-time fast switching situation,
