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. Thor 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 Thor's sections. The Groups key opens Mixer/Routing, Filter 3, Shaper, Filter Env, Mod Env, Global Env, LFO 1, LFO 2, Chorus, Delay and Performance. 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 Thor in the rack and the Reason Remote codec, installed during setup, tells the plugin which device has focus. The deck opens Thor's landing page, and values go both ways: turn a dial and Thor moves, change a control in Reason and the touch strip follows.
Which edition#
Thor 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.
