Instrument pages

How an instrument's landing page, section pages and folders are laid out, what the hubs are for, and which instruments are covered.

Full and Lite Reason Remote 1.3.1 · Lite 1.2.0

Every covered instrument gets its own set of pages, built by hand from that device's Remote parameters. They all follow the same pattern, so once you know one you know them all.

The landing page#

Selecting an instrument opens its landing page. The keys list the instrument's sections, and the dials hold the controls you reach for most.

  • Back (top-left) goes to the hub.
  • The other keys open sections such as Osc 1 and Filter, or folders like Mod/LFO.
  • The dials usually carry level, patch select, pitch bend and mod wheel. The exact set depends on the instrument: Thor's landing page, for example, puts filter drive and mix levels on its dials.

Section pages#

A section key opens that section. The dials change to its parameters, and the key row stays the same so you can jump straight to another section. The section you're on pulses.

Several dials here carry two parameters. Tap one on the strip, or press the dial, to choose which one the dial turns. See dial gestures.

Folders#

When an instrument has more sections than fit on the keys, some are grouped into a folder. A folder key has a small grid icon and lists what's inside. Pressing it opens the first section inside and changes the key row to the folder's sections:

Back inside a folder moves one level up. Press it again to reach the landing page.

Switch keys#

Some sections put on/off settings on the keys instead of the dials, for example an oscillator's On switch. A switch key lights up when the setting is on, and follows the setting when you change it in Reason.

Hubs#

A hub is a page of instrument keys plus Document. You rarely need one, because auto-follow takes you straight to the instrument. The deck shows a hub when nothing Reason Remote covers is selected, for example when you click an effect or a mixer channel.

The Core hub, full version

The full version groups its instruments into seven profiles, each with its own hub. Lite has one hub with all seven of its instruments. Pressing an instrument key on a hub opens that instrument's pages without selecting it in Reason, so the dials only work when that device is the one selected in Reason.
