Handling Missing Sounds
Sampler patches, drum machine patches, Dr. Octo Rex patches, and SoundFonts contain references to samples -
files on your hard disk. The same is true for songs that contain samples (in sampler or drum machine devices) or REX
files. If any of these files have been moved, renamed or removed when you try to open the patch or song, Reason will
alert you that files are missing by showing the “Missing Sounds” window. The “Missing Sounds” window also appears
if patches in the song are part of a ReFill which has been moved, removed or is not installed on your computer:
The “Missing Sounds” window.
The main display in the Missing Sounds window lists all missing files. The three columns show the following proper-

Below the main display are four buttons:

(and purchase, if necessary) the ReFill/R.E from the Propellerhead website.
D Click the “Search Folder” button to automatically search for and find the missing files in the currently selected
folder in the Browser.
D Click the “Search Locations” button to automatically search for and find the missing files in any of the Loca-
tions present in the Browser.
