Program Operation
Live
When using MAX25's Live Program, the controls' behavior is as follows:
Transport Controls (Play, Stop, Rec, etc.): These controls are set to MIDI CC, so they will work
accordingly in the software.
Bank 1-4:
• Touch faders: These control the volume level of Tracks 1-4.
• S-switches: These record-arm Tracks 1-4.
Bank 5-8:
• Touch faders: These control the volume level of Tracks 5-8.
• S-switches: These record-arm Tracks 5-8.
X
4
Bank 9-12:
• Touch faders: These will control the top row of any device bank selected by the "blue hand".
• S-switches: Switch 1 will select the previous bank of controls. Switch 2 will select the next
bank of controls. Switch 4 will lock the control surface to the currently selected device.
Bank 13-16:
• Touch faders: These will control the bottom row of any device bank selected by the "blue
hand".
• S-switches: Switch 1 will select the previous bank of controls. Switch 2 will select the next
bank of controls. Switch 4 will lock the control surface to the currently selected device.
Pad Bank A: These pads act as the bottom 8 pads of the currently selected pad bank in Drum Rack.
Pad Bank B: These pads act as the top 8 pads of the currently selected pad bank in Drum Rack.
Notes:
• [SEQ CC] is set to MIDI CC #74, so MAX25 will send CC #74 anytime its Sequencer is on.
You can change the CC# in Edit Mode. See the Edit Mode section of the included MAX25
User Guide.
• Controls not mentioned in this mapping are not assigned and can be mapped as you prefer.
LiveKS
This Program is almost the same as the Live Program described above, but this version allows you to
turn MAX25's Sequencer on/off by pressing keys on its keyboard. To do this:
1. Press SEQ SELECT so it is lit.
2. Press ON/OFF so it is lit.
3. Press and hold a key on MAX25's keyboard. The Sequence will play (in that key) while the key
is being held. When you release the key, the Sequence will stop.
Note: (To "latch" the Sequencer, press [LATCH] so it is lit. When this button is activated,
Sequencer playback will continue even after the key is released.)

Propellerhead Reason
Reason allows for vast control of its parameters. Propellerhead Software has developed a way to
remap a single control surface to each of the modules in Reason. This protocol is called Reason
Remote. We have included all the files necessary to enable Reason to find MAX25 and map its
controls to whatever module you have selected in the sequencer.

Program Operation
Reason
To see how the MAX25 controls are mapped to each module in Reason, please refer to the tables on
the following pages.
You can always change how controllers are mapped by modifying the AkaiMAX25_100.remotemap
file. This will allow you to customize how Reason and your MAX25 work.
ReasonKS
This Program is almost the same as the Reason Program described above, but this version allows
you to turn MAX25's Sequencer on/off by pressing keys on its keyboard. To do this:
1. Press SEQ SELECT so it is lit.
2. Press ON/OFF so it is lit.
3. Press and hold a key on MAX25's keyboard. The Sequence will play (in that key) while the key is
