Export MIDI File...
Reason can export standard MIDI files (SMF). Selecting “Export MIDI Files...” brings up the Export MIDI File dialog
from which you can export all instrument tracks and automation tracks from the Reason sequencer as a Standard
MIDI File (SMF).
See “Exporting Standard MIDI Files” for more information.
Export Insert FX Patch...
This item is available for a selected Audio Track device, Mix Channel device or their corresponding channel strips in
the Main Mixer. Selecting “Export Insert FX Patch” brings up the Save Insert FX Patch dialog from which you can
save the Insert FX patch used in the selected Audio Track/Mix Channel device as a Combinator (*.cmb) Patch File.
Save Device Patch As...
This item is available for a selected device that can save patches. The menu item name reflects the type of device se-
lected (for example “Save Combinator Patch As...”).
Even though the device settings are stored in the song, you may want to save any settings you have made for a de-
vice as a separate patch file. This allows you to use the patch in other songs, and lets you try out other patches in your
song without risking to lose your original sound.
• The different types of patch files have different file extensions.
These are:
“.cmb” (Combinator patch files)
“.zyp” (Subtractor patch files)
“.thor” (Thor patch files)
“.xwv” (Malström patch files)
“.smp” (NN-19 patch files)
“.sxt” (NN-XT patch files)
“.drp” (Redrum patch files)
“.drex (Dr. Octo Rex patch files)
“.drum” (Kong drum patch files)
“.kong” (Kong kit patch files)
“.rv7” (RV7000 patch files)
“.sm4” (Scream 4 patch files)
“.pulver” (Pulveriser patch files)
“.gator” (Alligator patch files)
“.echo” (The Echo patch files)
“.repatch” (Rack Extension patch files)
• If you have selected a patch, modified it and want to save it with the modifications, you could either save a sep-
arate, modified version of the patch (with a new name) or simply overwrite the old patch file on disk.
As usual, you will be asked whether you really want to replace the existing patch file.
q You can also save a patch by clicking the floppy disk button on the device panel.
