Landing dials#

The landing page opens on Volume, Patch, Pitch and Mod. Each dial has more banks behind it: press and turn a dial to step through them. Complex-1 has 8 banks. Where a cell lists more than one parameter, tap it on the strip to choose which one the dial turns. See dial banks.

Pages#

The keys on the landing page open Complex-1's sections. The Groups key opens Osc2, Osc3, Noise, Shaper, Comb, LFO, Util, Clock, Seq, FX and CV. Each page puts that section's controls on the four dials, labelled with the parameter names Reason gives its Remote protocol. Switch keys light up when the setting is on.

How it follows#

Select a Complex-1 in the rack and the Reason Remote codec, installed during setup, tells the plugin which device has focus. The deck opens Complex-1's landing page, and values go both ways: turn a dial and Complex-1 moves, change a control in Reason and the touch strip follows.

Which edition#

Complex-1 is in Reason Remote ($20), which follows all 27 devices. It is not in Lite: select one with Lite installed and the deck shows a page saying the full version covers it. Lite vs full.
