THE I/O DEVICE86
Introduction
At the top of the rack is the I/O device (for "input/output"). This handles the audio communication between the de-
vices in the rack and the DAW host. It also includes a basic summing mixer for up to 8 stereo output channels and a
control for setting the Shuffle amount used by some pattern devices.
The back panel
This is where the rack devices are connected.
The input jacks deliver audio from the DAW host to devices in the rack. This is most often the case when Reason
Rack Plugin is used as an effect, and typically only the main (1-2) input jacks are used.
The output jacks deliver audio from devices in the rack to the DAW host. These are used both when Reason Rack
Plugin is an instrument and an effect.
Devices you add will automatically be routed to free jacks on the I/O device.

The first eight stereo outputs (output 1-16) have special settings on the front:
Level meters
These show the level of the signal received at the corresponding Output jack on the back panel.
