Transferring patterns between Reason songs
If you want to copy patterns between different Reason songs, you use copy
and paste:
1. Open both songs.
2. Select the pattern you want to copy.
3. Select Copy Pattern from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
4. Make the other song active.
This is done by clicking in the song window or by selecting the song from
the Windows menu.
5. Select the bank and pattern location to which you want to copy the
pattern.
Note that any pattern already stored in that location will be overwritten!
6. Select Paste Pattern from the Edit menu or the device context
menu.
Clear/Delete Device/Clear Pattern
This menu item is used for deleting selected items. It is also used for clearing
(emptying) the select pattern on a pattern device.
Initialize Patch
Sometimes it is useful to start with a “clean slate” when creating a synth
sound, a drum kit or a sampler patch. This is done by selecting Initialize
Patch from the device context menu or Edit menu. This sets all parameters to
“standard” values. Initializing NN19, Dr. Rex or Redrum devices will also re-
move all sample file references, allowing you to start from scratch.
Select All
This selects all items of the same type as the one currently selected, that is
all sequencer notes, all devices in the rack, etc.
You can use this to quickly apply a command to all items you are working on,
for example deleting all devices in the rack (select Select All and then press
[Delete]) or for Quantizing all notes in the Edit View (select Select All and
then click the Quantize button).
➜ Whether the Select All function applies to the track list, the Arrange/
Edit View or the rack depends on which area has focus in the pro-
gram.
Focus is indicated by a thin frame around an area in the document win-
dow. To set focus to the desired area, click somewhere in it.
Browse Device Patches...
This menu item allows you to select a new Patch for a device. The menu item
reflects which device is selected - in other words, you must select the device
for the corresponding Browse Patches item to appear on the Edit menu.
When you select the menu item, the Browser dialog appears, allowing you to
locate and select the patch, on the hard disk or within a ReFill.
When you select a patch, the device’s parameters will be set according to the
values stored in the patch, and the name of the patch will be shown in the
patch name display. As with any change you make, this operation can be un-
done.
! Any parameter adjustments you make on the device panel after se-
lecting a patch will not affect the actual patch file (for this you need
to save the patch).
If referenced samples are missing
Patches for the Redrum and NN19 contain references to samples. Just like
patches, samples can be independent files on the hard disk or elements
within a ReFill. However, if sample files have been moved or renamed after a
patch was saved, the sample file references in the patch will not be accurate.
If this is the case when you select a patch, the program will tell you so. You
can then choose to either manually locate the missing files, to have the pro-
gram search for them in the database and ReFills or to proceed with missing
sounds.
Browse ReCycle/REX Files...
This menu item is used to add a loop to the selected Dr.Rex device. Files to
be imported can be in REX, RCY or REX2 file format.
Loading a new REX file will replace any currently loaded file.
