I'm using Reason 8 with a Akai MPK49 and I would like to control the PX7 Re with it.
Is there a snippet I can add to the remotemap file, or the lua script, or some other method to make this happen without remote override mapping?

Thanks

Alternately I've tried to send CC messages over Midi using the chart from the PX7 website, using a Midi message monitor it appears the MPK49 is sending the correct CC message but the PX7 isn't listening.

Of course it works when I use Remote Override Mapping but then that screws up the mappings when switching to other units in the Rack.

Watch the video and look up the PX7 data in the github.

Thanks, that is the info I was looking for.

I added this to my MPK49 remotemap file


Scope Propellerhead Software se.propellerheads.PX7
// Control Surface Item Key Remotable Item Scale Mode
Map Knob 1 Operator 1 Freq Mode

but Reason complains about it.
If I comment out the last line Reason accepts it.
I tried a few different parameters but no luck. I'm sure I have the tabs right, one after Map, two tabs after Knob 1.
Any suggestions?

I figured it out.
My text editor was putting in spaces instead of tabs.
Had to change editor settings.

Anyhow its pretty awesome.
