The song or patch will still work, but with sounds missing. This means that sampler patches, drum machine patches
and/or loop players will not play back correctly.
On the panels of the concerned devices, missing samples are indicated with an asterisk (*) before the file names:
A Redrum device with a missing sample in one of its slots.

window again by selecting “Show Missing Sounds Window” from the Windows menu.

Description
Reason Song .reason or .rns This is the main document format in Reason. It contains the recordings on all audio, in-
strument and automation tracks - and the device setup in the rack, along with refer-
ences to any used instrument samples and loops - or it can contain the actual samples
and loops if you have made the song “self-contained” (see “About Self-Contained
Songs”). Opening a Reason Version 5 (or earlier) song will retain the original rack con-
figuration, but will route the signals originally connected to the Out 1 and 2 of the Rea-
son Hardware Interface to a new Mix Channel (see “About opening Reason Version 5
(or earlier) Songs in Reason Version 10”).
Reason Demo Song .rsndemo A Reason Demo Song is a factory made song intended to demo the sound and fea-
tures of the Reason program. Reason Demo Songs, Reason Essentials Demo Songs
and Record Demo Songs are the only song file types that can be opened when you run
Reason in Demo Mode (without authorization). See “Opening a Reason Demo Song.
Reason Published Song .rps A Reason Published Song is a self-contained Reason song (created in Version 5 or
earlier) intended for playback only. It can only be opened in Reason and cannot be
changed. Its components cannot be extracted and it is only possible to export the song
as an audio file if you haven’t edited anything. Opening a Reason Published Song song
in Reason will retain the original rack configuration, but will route the signals originally
connected to the Out 1 and 2 of the Reason Hardware Device to a new Mix Channel
(see “About opening Reason Version 5 (or earlier) Songs in Reason Version 10”).
Reason Adapted Song .rsb A Reason Adapted Song is a song created in a Reason Adapted version. Opening a
Reason Adapted Song song in Reason will retain the original rack configuration, but
will route the signals originally connected to the Out 1 and 2 of the Reason Hardware
Device to a new Mix Channel (see “About opening Reason Version 5 (or earlier) Songs
in Reason Version 10).
Record Song .record This is the main document format in Propellerhead Record. It contains the recordings
on all audio, instrument and automation tracks - and the device setup in the rack, along
with references to any used instrument samples and loops - or it can contain the actual
