SOUNDS, PATCHES AND THE BROWSER78
The Sound Banks and fixed Locations
Below the shortcuts to the device palettes you will find the sound banks installed with the program. The sound banks
are all ReFills, a kind of component package for Reason which can contain sounds and effect patches, samples, REX
files and more:
• Reason Sounds
This is a huge selection of instrument patches, sorted by category. If you for example need an Electric Piano
sound, go to the Keys & Chords folder and then into the Electric Piano subfolder for a wide variety of patches for
different devices.
• Orkester Sounds
A separate sound bank containing sampled orchestral instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass and more.
• Factory Sounds
Contains patches for all included devices (sorted by device type), samples and REX loops. This is also where you
find effect patches.
•Drum Supply
A great collection of modern drum samples and drum kit patches for the Kong Drum Designer. This is an optional
download, which can be downloaded from Manage Content on the Window menu in the stand-alone Reason pro-
gram.
•Loop Supply
Drum and percussion loops in a number of contemporary styles, for use with the Dr Octo REX loop player device
or the Nurse REX module in Kong. This is an optional download, which can be downloaded from Manage Content
on the Window menu in the stand-alone Reason program.
• Rack Extensions
Most Rack Extensions come with patches that are contained within the Rack Extensions themselves. This virtual
location lists all installed Rack Extensions and allows you to browse into them as if they were regular file folders.
A Rack Extension may also contain patches for other devices as well! For example, they often come Combi
patches that combine the Rack Extension with stock effect devices, etc.
• Fixed folder locations
To navigate in the file system, there are shortcuts to your user folder and the desktop. These cannot be removed.
