Window Techniques
Using more than one Reason Song window
You can have several Reason Songs open at the same time. Each will ap-
pear in a separate Reason window, complete with rack, sequencer and
transport bar areas. Each window can be moved, minimized and resized us-
ing standard Mac/Windows procedures.
On the Windows menu, you will find some items for arranging the open win-
dows. These are described in the electronic documentation.
Views, Panes and Dividers
On screen, Reason is divided into different areas or “panes”. The most obvi-
ous example is the rack and the sequencer area, but you will also find that
the right part of the sequencer area can be divided into several horizontal
panes (for editing different aspects of your recordings).
The border between two panes are called dividers. You can adjust the height
of the panes by clicking on their divider and dragging up or down. Enlarging
the upper pane will shrink the lower and vice versa.
Scrolling and Zooming
Whenever there is information “outside the screen”, scrollbars will appear.
For example, if there are more devices in the rack than can be shown at one
time, you will be able to scroll the rack up or down by using the vertical scroll-
bar to the right of the rack.
Some areas also allow you to zoom in or out using magnification controls. Ei-
ther click the “+” or “–” magnification icon to zoom in or out respectively, or
click and drag the magnification slider.
➜ Where applicable, different panes can be scrolled and zoomed indi-
vidually.
In the sequencer, there are separate view controls for the Key edit lane and the
Controller lane.
