WORKING WITH VST PLUGINS393
Selecting VST programs
Programs for VST plugins can be selected from the Plugin Rack Device (if the VST supports programs). For example,
if you load a bank (fxb) using Reason’s Browser, the fxb bank may contain a number of different programs, which are
then loaded into the VST.
1. Click the patch name display on the Plugin Rack Device to show the list of programs loaded in the VST plugin.
2. Select the desired VST program/patch from the list.
D Alternatively, click the VST Prog up/down selectors to step between and load the VST programs:
These methods also work if the VST has presets that are automatically loaded when you create the device.
! Note that the VST Prog selector buttons only appear if the plugin has a bank of programs or presets loaded.
About saving songs that contain VSTs
When you save a Reason song document, all VST patch/program data is automatically embedded in the song docu-
ment. This means that you can load VST patches/programs, edit them and then save the Reason song without need-
ing to save the edited VST patches/programs separately. This works exactly the same way as for patches in native
Reason devices and Rack Extension devices.
Combining VST plugins in Combinator devices
A Plugin Rack Device can be Combined just like any other device types. In the Combi Programmer, all VST parame-
ters are listed. See “The Combinator” for more information.
