Favorites Lists
“Favorites Lists” provide a way to group and order files that may be physically located at different places on your local
drives. Any file that can be loaded in Reason (songs, patches, samples etc.) can be added to a “Favorites List”. Only
shortcuts to the files are added - the original files aren’t moved. You can also add devices to the list.
This is particularly useful for handling patches. By adding the patches you need for a given situation to a Favorite List,
you can determine exactly which patches will be selectable for a device, and in what order. You can then sequentially
step through these patches using patch select buttons on your MIDI keyboard or control surface device. See “Using
Favorites - a practical example”.
! We strongly recommend not to put ReFills in Favorite Lists. Instead, use Locations for ReFills, see “Using Lo-
cations and Favorites”.
D To add a New Favorite List, click the “Create New Favorite Lists” button.
The “Create New Favorites Lists” button
An empty “folder” is created, named “New Favorite List n”. Favorite Lists are always indicated by a star icon. The
Browser list remains unchanged.
D To rename the “New Favorite List” folder, double-click it and type in a new name.
Alternatively, select “Rename” from the context menu.
D To add a file to the “Favorite List” folder, select it in the Browser and drag it to the desired “Favorite List”
folder.
You can also select multiple files using standard selection techniques - [Shift] and/or [Ctrl](Win) or [Command]
(Mac) - and drag these into the folder in the same way.
D Select the “Favorite List” folder to view the currently added files in the Browser list.
The Browser displays all files you have previously dragged to the Favorite List, regardless of file type:
When a “Favorites List” folder is selected in the Browser, an additional “Parent column” is shown (just like for
Search results), listing the name of the original folder for each file in the list.
Files in a “Favorites List” folder cannot be sorted by clicking the column headers. However, they can be reor-
dered by using drag and drop in the Browser list.
