SOUNDS, DEVICES AND PATCHES

Introduction

✪ Please refer to the Tutorial chapters in the Getting Started book for

quick-start information on how to create devices and to select sounds

and patches.

This chapter deals with the following topics:

D The procedures and techniques for managing devices in the rack.

See below.

D Cable routing basics.

See “A Quick Note on Routing”.

D ReFills and Reason file formats.

See “About ReFills”.

D Handling Patches in Reason.

See “About patches”.

D Using the Reason browser.

See “Using the Browser”.

Rack device procedures

As you have seen by now, the central part of Reason is the rack. This is where you

create and configure your devices, and make parameter settings. This section de-

scribes all the procedures for managing the rack, that is, procedures and techniques

common to all devices.

Navigating the rack

If the rack contains more than a few devices, the whole rack will probably not “fit” on

screen. To scroll the rack up or down, use one of the following methods:

D Use the scrollbar to the right of the rack to scroll continuously up or

down.

D If you’re using a mouse equipped with a scroll wheel, you can use it to

scroll up or down.

D Use the Page Up/Page Down buttons on the computer keyboard to move

the view one “full screen” up or down.

D Use the Home or End buttons on the computer keyboard to scroll the top

or bottom of the rack.

D Pull down a device context menu and select another device from the Go

To submenu.

The rack scrolls to the device you select.

✪ When you select a device’s sequencer track, Reason will automatically

scroll the rack to make the device visible.

Note that you can enlarge the rack area by clicking its lower edge (the divider be-

tween the rack and the sequencer area) and dragging downwards. This will shrink the

sequencer area and make more of the rack visible (alternatively, you can detach the

sequencer from the rack altogether. This is described on page 12). You can also

make the rack fill the window by clicking the maximize button above the scrollbar to

the right.

The rack maximize button.

Creating devices

Creating new devices can be done by double-clicking on a device in the Tools win-

dow - Devices menu (or by using drag and drop). Alternatively you can select devices

from the Create menu. This menu is available both on the main menu bar and on the

context menus (see “Context menus”).

D The new device is added directly below the currently selected device in

the rack.

If no device is selected, the new device is added at the bottom of the rack.

D When you add a new device, Reason attempts to route it in a logical way.

For an introduction to the auto-routing features, see page 26.

D A new track will automatically be created in the sequencer, connected to

the new device.

The track will have the same name as the device. Master Keyboard Input will also

automatically be set to the new track, allowing you to immediately play the created

device via MIDI (see page 54).

D By default, this only applies to instrument devices, not to mixers or effect

devices.

If you hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) when you create the device,

the opposite is true, i.e. mixers and effect devices get new tracks but instrument

devices don’t.

✪ You can also create devices by browsing patches - see page 39.
