Auto Search
If you click the Auto Search button, Reason will search for the selected files
in all database folders. If the program finds a file with the matching name and
file type, the new path is stored in the song/patch and the file is shown as
“Replaced” in the Status column.
➜ Since the file search looks at the file names, files that have been re-
named will not be found!
This also means that if your database contains several files with the
same name, the wrong sounds may be found.
Replace
Clicking the Replace button opens the browser dialog, allowing you to man-
ually locate each missing file. This allows you to use files outside the data-
base or files that have been renamed. The browser dialog will appear once
for each selected file in the list.
Download ReFill
If a missing sound is part of a ReFill (as indicated in the Part of ReFill Pack-
age column), and there is a valid URL (Internet address) for this ReFill, you
can download the ReFill directly from this dialog (provided you have a work-
ing Internet connection):
1. Select the sound(s) that use the ReFill.
You should only select several sounds if they use the same ReFill.
2. Click the Download ReFill button.
This launches your Internet browser and takes you to the URL associ-
ated with the ReFill.
3. A dialog appears, asking you to download the ReFill and place it in
one of the database folders. Do so.
4. Click OK.
Reason automatically scans the downloaded ReFill and locates the files.
Proceeding
At any point, you can click the OK button to close the dialog and open the
song or patch. Note:
➜ For the files you have found (status “Replaced”), the new paths will
be stored in the song or patch.
However, you need to save the song or patch for the changes to become
permanent!
➜ If any file is still missing when you click OK, there will be sounds
missing in the song/patch.
Sometimes, you may want to proceed with sounds missing, and then re-
move or replace the sounds from the device panels in the rack instead.
On the device panels, missing samples are indicated with an asterisk (*) before the
file names:
Clicking Cancel will abort the operation, i.e. the song or patch will not be
opened.
