Selecting devices
Some operations (e.g. cutting, copying and deleting devices) require that you select
one or several devices in the rack. This is done according to the following rules:
D To select a single device, click on it in the rack.
The selected device is displayed with a colored border (based on the color
scheme selected for your operating system).
D To select several devices, hold down [Shift] and click.
In other words, [Shift]-clicking a device selects it without de-selecting any other
selected devices.
D To de-select all devices, click in the empty space at the bottom of the
rack.
D To de-select one of the selected devices, hold down [Shift] and click on
it.
Any other selected devices remain selected.
D You can also use the up and down arrow keys on the computer keyboard
to select the device directly above or below the currently selected one.
When you use this method, Reason will automatically scroll the rack so that the se-
lected device is fully visible. This is a quick way to “step through” the rack. Narrow
devices (e.g. half-width devices such as the effects) are ordered left-to-right, i.e.
pressing the down arrow key will step through the devices from left to right before
moving on the next device row.
D If you hold down [Shift] when using the up or down arrow keys, the cur-
rently selected device will remain selected.
This allows you to select a range of devices.
Adjusting a parameter in a device will automatically select it. In other words, you never
have to select a device before making settings.
Deleting devices
To delete one or several devices, select them and use one of the following methods:
D Hold down [Command] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows) and press [Backspace]
or [Delete].
D Select “Delete Devices and Tracks” from the Edit menu or the device
context menu.
This will delete the device(s) together with the associated sequencer track(s). You
can have devices without associated tracks but it is not possible to have a se-
quencer track without an associated device.
! If you delete a device connected between two other devices, the connec-
tion between these is automatically preserved.
! The Hardware Interface device at the top of the rack cannot be removed.
Reordering devices
You can rearrange the devices in the rack by moving them, in the following way:
1. If you want to move more than one device at the same time, select the de-
vices.
2. Click in the “handle” area of one of the devices.
For full width devices, this is the area to the left and right of the panel (between the
rack fittings); for smaller devices you can click anywhere outside the actual param-
eters.
3. With the mouse button pressed, drag the device(s) up or down in the rack.
A thick red vertical line indicates where the device(s) will be positioned. Note that
the red line can be to the left of a device (indicating that the moved device will be
inserted before the other device) or to the right of a device (indicating that the
moved device will be inserted after the other device).
