Short answer is yes, Reason can see your USB Midi connected gear (if that was your question).

If Reason doesn't know the specific controller (i.e. it's not in the list) then you can always add them as "Generic Multichannel MIDI Controller" and then select their MIDI ports manually.

Reason's not going to auto-recognize a control surface unless there's a remote map for it. For the TB3 and Kaosspad you have to set them up manually in Reason.

Maybe not relevant here but Reason doesn’t automatically recognise my Line 6 KB37 when I start up. (There is a profile for it in preferences). I always have to pull out the usb and plug it in again before I can use it. Using Windows 10 but was the same when I had Windows 7. Any ideas why?
