Landing dials#
The landing page opens on Volume, Patch, Pitch and Character. Each dial has more banks behind it: press and turn a dial to step through them. Radical Piano 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.
| Bank | Dial 1 | Dial 2 | Dial 3 | Dial 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Master Volume | Select Patch | Pitch Bend | Character |
| 2 | Microphone 2 Type | Microphone 1 Type | – | Microphone and Instrument Blend |
| 3 | Ambience Level | Sustain Pedal | – | Compression Amount |
| 4 | Ambience Type | Symp Res Level | – | EQ On/Off |
| 5 | Env Release | Env Attack | – | Env Decay Curve |
| 6 | EQ Lo Gain | EQ Hi Gain | – | EQ Mid Gain |
Pages#
The keys on the landing page open Radical Piano's sections. The Groups key opens Velocity, Tune and Output. 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 Radical Piano in the rack and the Reason Remote codec, installed during setup, tells the plugin which device has focus. The deck opens Radical Piano's landing page, and values go both ways: turn a dial and Radical Piano moves, change a control in Reason and the touch strip follows.
Which edition#
Radical Piano 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.
