The Rack
The Rack with two rack columns next to each other, and the Rack Navigator to the right
In the Rack, all instruments, effects and mixer channel devices of the Reason song are visible. You can scroll verti-
cally and horizontally in the Rack by clicking and dragging the frame in the Rack Navigator. You could also click any-
where outside the frame in the Rack Navigator to immediately jump to the desired position. Alternatively, place the
pointer on any of the wooden “side panels” in the rack, and click and drag in any direction. This way you will be able
to access all devices in the rack.
By pressing function key [F6], or by clicking the Maximize Rack Area button at the top right of the Rack Navigator,
you can maximize the Rack to cover the entire Reason Song window.
The Maximize and Detach buttons for the Rack
Below the Maximize Rack Area button is the Detach Rack button. Clicking on this, or holding [Ctrl](Win) or
[Cmd](Mac) and pressing [F6], will detach the Rack Area and place in a separate window. This is especially useful if
you are using multiple screens connected to your computer.
When you detach the Rack, the Transport Panel at the bottom of the Sequencer will be duplicated below the Rack in
the new window. This way, you will be able to control the Sequencer transport functions without needing to change
window.
For more details on how to work with the Rack, refer to “Working with the Rack”.
