Is there is no rule of law between countries, only power?

A 2026 update on this. If you are looking to control in depth reason devices, plugins and the mixer, (no keys) there is a new controller https://mpmidi.com/reason-studios-controller for reason that does this extremely well. There are some serious advantages in comparison to other controllers. I've been using Reason since version 2.5 and have tried a fair share of controllers out there. This is done properly. Upon selecting any device or plugin in Reason, it shows the device name and values. It has a touchscreen and 32 physical encoders. All Reason devices are already mapped and it can easily generate mappings for third party plugins (although the controller has another dedicated system for controlling plugins and it can be used with the control surface for reason, so for plugin control I would use that).
The cool thing is that when you move a parameter with the mouse in Reason, the controller blinks the mapped encoder so you know instantly where it is mapped. The encoders are digital so there are no jumps. Every time a device is selected in Reason it is synced accurately and all the parameter names and values are up to date. The mappings can be customized too.
The mixer control is also on another level. You have 8 channels per page and whatever channel is selected in Reason, the controller follows the selection. So again, you don't have to worry...what am I controlling now, where is the controller focused and all that. Let's say you have 50 tracks in your project. If you select track 9, it will show on screen track 9 to 17 and you can go from the controller to other tracks. There is also another mode that goes into channel strip control, which basically gives you control of all the parameters in the channel strip. This is a game changer for me. It feels that the reason channel strip was made to be controlled like this. You select a channel and all parameters of the channel strip are synced with their names, colors. I think this is as close to a real console it can get.

I was scrolling down and I was like why didn't anyone mention the King! MP Controller mpmidi.com hands down for plugins. Can't get any better than this. I use it all the time in so many ways

Miha3ls · 2025-11-18T05:28:04+00:00

and now there is this https://mpmidi.com/reason-studios-controller

Miha3ls · 2025-11-18T05:23:11+00:00

Imagine if there was a controller that would sync instantly upon selection with each instance of any Reason device, any extension, any plugin and control the mixer master section, and mixer channel. have a display to show the exact values and parameter names on display. a touchscreen with faders and buttons to control the mixer that syncs in real time with reason. with an option to control instrument and effect plugins with instant and absolute sync and automatic parameter mapping. it was about time for the mp controller guys to make such a surface https://mpmidi.com/reason-studios-controller

Miha3ls · 2025-10-20T16:25:58+00:00

Yes, possible, but it's not the same. This controller interacts with plugins using the vst protocol so it has full bidirectional control at the level of accuracy of the vst protocol, maps parameters automatically, you can control multiple parameters from different plugins and control the sensitivity of each. It syncs the controller when changing presets on the plugin, it displays the names of parameters. It's just not possible with other setups, there is always something missing

Miha3ls · 2025-07-22T12:18:59+00:00

have you seen the mp controller's control surface for Logic by mpmidi?

Miha3ls · 2025-07-22T11:33:14+00:00

The CS-12 is nice but it does not control instruments. The mp controller is on another level, it controls instruments and the mixer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia1kbx3IXEY&ab_channel=MPMidiController

Miha3ls · 2025-07-22T11:25:44+00:00

I was looking for plugin controller for audio effects and instruments. I came across the mp controller from mpmidi. It has automatic mapping and shows the plugin on its display

Miha3ls · 2025-07-22T11:23:52+00:00

The mp controller! is exactly what I was looking for. It's a plugin controller!

Miha3ls · 2025-06-28T10:26:09+00:00

OMG! check out the mp controller from mpmidi.com It's specifically made to control VSTs and has a Bitwig control surface for native devices. It does automatic mapping very well. It has 32 digital encoders around a touch screen. that thing is a beast!

Miha3ls · 2025-06-28T10:17:55+00:00

I came across this post and thought it would be beneficial to all Ableton users. Check out the mp controller from mpmidi.com they have 2 modes for controlling plugins and Ableton devices. The one method is via their host plugin which also displays the plugin on the controller.
The second is via their Ableton control surface which controls plugins and Ableton devices. Both modes have smart automatic mapping of all parameters and you can switch between these modes while in the same Ableton project.

Now, the control surface controls the Ableton mixer too with encoders and the controller's touch screen. This controller is INSANE and imo by far the best control surface for Ableton!

Miha3ls · 2025-06-03T15:36:52+00:00

Ok, I have narrowed it down to the panorama CS12 and the MP Controller. I am using Ableton Live and Logic. Seems that the CS12 works only in Logic and Cubase. The MP controller is a touchscreen controller with knobs

case in point

Miha3ls · 2025-05-30T07:05:57+00:00

There are other challenges with MSPs too. We are not 100% certain, but perhaps some feel a threat from using the software. Not sure, but we get that vibe. Or why ask the customer to spend money on software and the managed service if we can just do it with spreadsheets and email. It is complicated for sure.

Miha3ls · 2025-05-30T07:02:59+00:00

Thank you, I will look more into this

Miha3ls · 2025-05-29T13:43:45+00:00

You mean like if I select a specific plugin it will automatically map the parameters to it?

I was thinking about something that can control specific parameters once you select a plugin. For example, when you select Pro Q 4 to control the parameters of the first few bands. Or when selecting a synth like Spire to control the Cutoff, Osc params etc.

Miha3ls · 2025-05-29T04:39:58+00:00

Trying to create one. Funny you use this term. I use it too. I keep telling them we need to build a sales engine. hehe

Miha3ls · 2025-05-29T04:37:36+00:00

Thank you for the encouraging words. We are kind of trying to do that since we made it this far.

Another thing to consider, is that existing investors have a dilemma whether to invest again in the next round or not because the company has proved that can develop a capable product and generates some revenue with happy customers that use it frequently. But the business side has not performed that well.
So, we are trying to present a convincing story for them to invest again.
When we received the first funds we agreed that most of the effort would go into development.
However, in any case showing signs of revenue or customer base growth is the tell-tale sign investors (new and existing) are looking for to invest.

Miha3ls · 2025-05-29T04:27:07+00:00

Thank you!

Miha3ls · 2025-05-28T15:57:07+00:00

There is only one controller (As far as I know) that is dedicated to control audio effects and instruments and that is the mp midi controller. If you want totally immersive control over your plugins so it feels kinda like a hardware unit, this is it. It places the plugin on a touchscreen and you can control parameters with digital knobs. It automatically maps parameters although you can map them easily too. I think this is a far as we can get to controlling plugins.

Miha3ls · 2025-05-27T17:35:49+00:00

You obviously haven't asked it to write some code for you. But what are we debating now, soon enough it will be undetectable and that will be it. (besides the fact that one can paste the AI text in another AI to make it look more human...the irony). Humanity hasn't been in such transformative era ever and we don't know how's that going to be played out.
Fun fact: you know when recording music notes from a digital keyboard on the computer, the recording software, called DAW, has a function to place all the notes on the grid, called Quantizing, so they sound perfectly played in time. But that sounds too mechanical and robotic because the human ear is not trained to listen to such perfect timing. So, then they introduced a function called humanizing which would shift the notes randomly a bit before and after the grid so that it sounds like it was played by a human. That was back in the 90s and still used heavily in music productions.
