• Twelve velocity and pressure-sensitive pads with choice of seven velocity curves for expressive percussive performances

• Easy to program using the "Learn Note" function

• "Velocity Spread" feature quickly spreads one note across all the pads, each with its own fixed velocity, making it easier to create consistent and nuanced dynamics

• "Scale-Function" assigns each pad to pitches within any of the pre-defined 30+ scales, a quick and easy way to change pad assignments, great for percussive performances with any keyboard sound while freely changing intervals or transposing the whole set on the fly

• Reason devices such as ReDrum, Dr. Octo Rex and Kong are automatically assigned to pads in the keyboard's Instrument mode with an additional four virtual pads available when needed

• Regardless of which Reason mode you are in, or how far down you are in a menu, you always have instant access to volume, solo and mute controls for the current mixer channel

• The 100 mm ALPS fader and two LED buttons can be locked to a specific mixer channel, or set to follow your track selection

• ALPS fader is motorized so its position updates automatically to match your virtual Reason mixer

• By entering the dedicated Fader menu you can use the data encoder to control pan or sends parameters, or change the fader assignment to control Master or Control Room, all without affecting whatever else you are doing

• By pressing a single button you can send out for example, a command to copy, move L/R location points and paste commands, or open the editor and magnify to maximum all at the same time

• Macro feature can send up to eight keystroke commands in one sequence from the keyboard to the computer

• With any one of 36 programmable buttons and 12 pads assignable to macros, this feature can really provide time-saving and interesting workflow ideas

• Little to no setup required for the Reason user

• Presets can be setup for a ReWired DAW, VI or other software/hardware combination using the keyboard's Internal mode

• User settings are stored in non-volatile memory and retained even when the keyboard is switched off, with plenty of storage space available

• Twenty preset locations store settings for the sixteen encoders, nine faders and ten buttons with an additional five keyboard, ten F-Keys and twenty Pad map locations storing all settings for their respective functional area

• Preset can be loaded with any combination of maps plus you can load maps independently without affecting your other assignments

Q: 8. I want to setup a daisy chain as an additional backup. If my first 2 bay array is in raid 1, what should my second 2 bay array be setup as? I'm looking for a triple redundancy.
