About selecting all devices in a Device Group
To select all devices in a Device Group, do as follows:
1. Select any device in the desired Device Group.
2. Select “Select All in Device Group” from the Edit menu or context menu.
All devices in the Device Group will be selected as indicated by the colored borders around the devices.
Deleting devices
To delete one or several devices, select them in the rack and use one of the following methods:
D Press [Backspace] or [Delete].
An alert appears asking you to confirm the deletion. Any cable connections to the device will also be deleted (or
re-routed).
! If you have selected a Source device or a Mix Channel device and the “Auto-Group Devices and Tracks” on the
Options menu is selected, an alert appears asking if you want to delete the device or the whole Device Group,
including sequencer tracks and channel strips. (See “About Device Groups”).
D To delete devices or Device Groups without alerts, hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) and press [Backspace]
or [Delete].
D Select “Delete Devices and Tracks” from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
An alert appears asking you to confirm the deletion. This will delete the devices together with the associated se-
quencer track(s) also if the “Auto-group Devices and Tracks” option isn’t selected. (It’s possible to have devices
without associated tracks but it is not possible to have a sequencer track without an associated device.)
D To delete devices and tracks without alerts, hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) before selecting “Delete De-
vices and Tracks” from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
! If you delete a device connected between two other devices, the connection between the two other devices is
automatically preserved.
! The Reason Hardware Interface and the Master Section device at the top of the rack cannot be deleted.
Re-ordering devices
If you want to move an instrument device to another position in the rack, you probably also want its Mix Channel de-
vice and connected effects to move along with it. If the “Auto-group Devices and Tracks” on the “Options” menu is se-
lected, all devices in the Device Group will follow along when you drag and drop a device included in a Device Group.
However, it’s still possible to re-order devices within each Device Group. See “About Device Groups” for more details.
See also “About the “Sort Selected Device Groups” function” for information about automatic sorting of several De-
vice Groups.
If the “Auto-group Devices and Tracks” on the “Options” menu is not selected, you can re-order and move devices in-
dividually in the rack - even outside the Device Groups:
1. If you want to move more than one device at the same time, [Shift]-click the devices to select them.
2. Click on the panel of one of the devices (but not on a control or display).
3. With the mouse button pressed, drag the device(s) to the new destination in the rack.
An orange line indicates where the device(s) will be positioned. Note that when re-ordering devices with smaller
width, the line can be to the left of a device (indicating that the moved device will be placed before the other de-
vice) or to the right of a device (indicating that the moved device will be placed after the other device).
