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. Umpf Retro 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.

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