HyperControl is a powerful new technology that automatically maps your Axiom Pro controls (i.e., knobs, buttons, sliders, etc.) to the on-screen controls of Reason. This helps you make music more quickly since you no longer have to perform the tedious and time-consuming task of assigning MIDI controls.

For example, if a knob is turned on Axiom Pro, its corresponding knob in Reason will update. Alternatively, if an on-screen knob is turned within Reason (using the mouse), the corresponding knob position of Axiom Pro (as shown on the LCD display) updates as well. If a new Reason Device is selected (or a different
HyperControl is a two-way communication protocol that automatically maps physical knobs, buttons, and sliders on the Axiom Pro controller to on-screen parameters within Reason. This eliminates the need for manual MIDI assignment and ensures the hardware display remains synchronized with the software state.
