Ableton uses the Komplete Kontrol vst to communicate with the daw using some python scripts. Using this method changing tracks on the DAW swaps the instance on the keyboard to the relevant setup and using the nav buttons on the keyboard does the same in Ableton. The great thing with the Komplete Kontrol vst is that it not only hosts the NI plugins with auto mapping but can host 3rd party plugs too.
Cubase uses a NI controller dll to communicate with the keyboard which causes the Komplete Daw midi output to send cc messages which are mapped to the metronome or count in, but the software is very buggy as a quick look on the NI Komplete Kontrol forums will show you.
I had a look at the Ableton solution but lack the technical knowledge to port/copy the code for Reaper.

It would be great if the Komplete Kontrol keyboards were supported in Reaper as the auto mapping feature is fantastic
