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. Monotone has 5 banks. Where a cell lists more than one parameter, tap it on the strip to choose which one the dial turns. See dial banks.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Volume | Select Patch | Pitch Bend | Mod Wheel |
| 2 | Amp Attack / Decay / Sustain / Release | Filter Freq | Osc1 Wave / Osc1 Oct / Osc Mix / Osc Detune | LFO Rate / LFO Wave / Filter LFO Amt |

Pages#
The keys on the landing page open Monotone's sections. The Groups key opens Mod Wheel. 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 Monotone in the rack and the Reason Remote codec, installed during setup, tells the plugin which device has focus. The deck opens Monotone's landing page, and values go both ways: turn a dial and Monotone moves, change a control in Reason and the touch strip follows.
Which edition#
Monotone is in both editions: free in Reason Remote Lite, which follows 8 devices, and in Reason Remote ($20), which follows all 27. The pages below are the same in both.
