Will this software work with Reason Pianos? That's all I want to do with it.

I looked up all the videos and info I could find on the Reason Pianos refill, and they weren't clear on whether or not components Essentials supported all the devices used in Reason Pianos, but it looks like the majority of the components used in the Reason Pianos refill are supported in Reason Essentials such as the Combinator, Line 6:2 Mixer, R7000 Reverb, Delay, and NN-XT Sampler. However, some devices used such as the ECF-42 Filter and Malstrm aren't included in Essentials unfortunately... But it looks like Reason Pianos boasts its 6 microphone method of recording world-class grand pianos, so the most important components to need would be the audio samples, NN-XT sampler, and Combinator, which are supported by Essentials. You will miss out on some effects in it such as the Malstrm (which, since it's a synthesizer I don't see why layering it on an acoustic instrument would be of much significance) and ECF-42 Filter. You will still be able to adjust each piano's placement microphone levels, ambience, and compression though. At most, when you load the patch, it will tell you that some devices weren't loaded because they aren't in Essentials. I would contact support or ask some users on Propellerhead's forums though, if no one who has used it on Essentials provides an answer. Hope this helps a little.

It probably will work pretty good, although one issue that I had with Traktor and Windows 7 (regardless the computer) is the audio dropouts (you might want take a look of it), tried to figured out and then switched to Traktor + OSX. No complaints since then.

Yes it is! I use mine with Logic Pro. It may not automatically map to all DAWs. But it can be mapped manually to any of them! Just make sure you download the latest firmware to your computer. Remember, it's a basic midi controller! So it should work with any music software. Hope that helps you out!

Any soft with MIDI compare (cubase. logic. etc)Its mean you can use it not only with computer soft if you have MIDI connection and great desire to explore:)

Unless eDJing has the ability to midi map the controller it is unlikely. Unfortunately this controller has very few software options available to it (to my knowledge no tablets). Still at this price point it is a pretty good buy as a mac/windows software+hardware dj bundle. Buddy of mine plays legitimate gigs on his despite the small and unimpressive appearance -- thing packs a punch for its price and size

I don't think you need the software to run it on a mac. Pretty much any Mac-based music software will recognize the interface.

Chris - I think my last response got lost or cut short(my mistake). I'll try again. The short answer to this is no. I ran through all the presets and even some tweaks I use and cannot find any standard piano sounds. There are a couple/few organ sounds you can work with. If you want standard piano sounds, you can buy a MUCH cheaper keyboard/MIDI controller for that purpose. All that being said, this is probably the best musical instrument purchase I've ever made. I'm not really a trained musician, but the sounds I can create with this micorKorg are amazing. I hope some of this helps. MK_from_PA

It is a midi controller so it will work fine with any DAW, but I do not own an Ipad so I wouldn't know the answer to that. Try googling it. As far as the playability goes, it is alright. Good for its price. it is not good for playing piano at all because the way it registers the velocity readings are very low so the result is it sounds like you are barely pressing the keys, but it works great for synth playing. The springs under the keys respond and feel very good, and as I'm sure you probably know, there are plenty of knobs and buttons for plenty of midi learn functions. The only downside is the way it reads velocity.

It works well with a Casio keyboard and my travel guitar, so it should work for the digital piano too.

Yes! Call the Akai help line. They are very helpful for the most part. Until we figured that it will not have ful capability with logic 9. Lol

Yes! Using it with Piano Wizard Academy & it is great. Saved $100 on Piano Wizard by opting not to get their 4 octave keyboard & for $149 more got the YPG 235 76 key.

If your piano has a USB port and your tablet has a MiniUSB port (or vice versa) it should work just fine. My daughter's Acer tablet has a USB port but no Mini USB port, and I don't know what kind of ports a usb piano has (except I assume "usb.") You might want to see if a USB to USB connector might not be a better choice.

I don't have it but it would seem to work with any software. My guess, of course.

If it isn't a midi keybored then no. But I recommend the machine mk2 it is awsome. If you get a midi keybored it is very easy to setup.if you need help u can ask me

I recommend an LPK25 MIDI keyboard and some headphones. That's my setup including reason essentials (I do have some m-audio bx5 studio monitors, but you don't need them just starting out.) I plan on upgrading to full Reason 6.5 or 7, but not getting any additional equipment right now. Hope this helps. Have fun!

Works with any MIDI output port if your piano has one. It feeds the piano code out to the software were it compares how your playing with what it expects.
