Instruments Pangea
Pangea on a Stream Deck +
Pangea is Reason's world instruments player. It shares its deck layout with Humana and Klang, so the pages below match theirs. Select a Pangea in the rack and the deck shows its controls: 8 pages and 47 parameters, built from Pangea's Remote parameters.

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. Pangea has 6 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 | Master Volume | Select Patch | Pitch Bend | Mod Wheel |
| 2 | Amp Attack / Decay / Sustain / Release | Filter Cutoff | Instrument / Octave / Semitune / Finetune | ModWheel to SampleStart / Filter Cutoff / Amp Level |

Pages#
The keys on the landing page open Pangea's sections. The Groups key opens Mod and Perf. 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 Pangea in the rack and the Reason Remote codec, installed during setup, tells the plugin which device has focus. The deck opens Pangea's landing page, and values go both ways: turn a dial and Pangea moves, change a control in Reason and the touch strip follows.
Which edition#
Pangea 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.
