Trigger Notes while Editing
When this is selected, transposing notes, by manually moving them with the Selection Tool, will make the notes trig-
ger - and sound. This is useful since you will hear when the notes reach the correct pitches.
Reduce Cable Clutter Setting
The selected alternative determines how cables on the back of the rack should be displayed when “Reduce Cable
Clutter” is selected on the Options menu:
D Select “Show For Selected Devices Only” to only display the cables for selected devices.
All other (non-selected) devices will have “transparent” cables to make it easier to distinguish the cables of se-
lected devices.
D Select “Hide Auto-Routed Cables” to only display manually routed cables.
All devices with auto-routed cables will have “transparent” cables to make it easier to distinguish the manually
routed cables.
D Select “Hide All Cables” to hide all auto-routed and manually routed cables.
All cable connections on devices will be indicated with colored dots in the jacks, and no cables will be displayed.
See “Cable appearance” for more details.
Cable Animation
Cables in Reason are animated in a lifelike fashion when flipping the Rack and making connections. Should you so
wish, you can choose to disable the cable movement animation by deactivating this checkbox.
Show Parameter Value Tool Tip
Normally, if you hold the mouse pointer over a parameter on a device panel for a moment, a Tool Tip appears display-
ing the name and the current value of the parameter. If you uncheck this option, Tool Tips will not be displayed.
Show Automation Indication
If a parameter is automated in the sequencer, this is by default indicated by a green frame around the parameter on
the device panel. If you uncheck this option, automation will not be indicated.
Default Song
It’s possible to specify a certain song document which will automatically open as a “template” each time you select
“New” from the File menu. The Default Song could be an empty document, a song you have created earlier, or a fac-
tory made Template song. See “Setting up a Default Song” for information on how to select Default Song.
Load Last Song On Startup
Checking this automatically opens the last saved song each time you launch Reason.
D Tick the checkbox to open the last saved song the next time you launch Reason.
CPU Usage Limit
Reason is a very powerful program which was designed to be as light on processing power as possible - without
compromising on sound quality. Nevertheless, the more devices and audio processing functions you use in your song,
the more of your computer’s resources it will use.
