D Locked devices can use remote overrides, just like unlocked devices.
In other words, even if a device is locked to a control surface, some parameters
could be overridden so they are controlled by another control surface, or some
controls on the locked surface could be override-mapped to another device.
! See the Remote Control chapter for more details.
Toggle Rack Front/Rear
This switches the rack between the front and rear views. A quicker way to do this is to
press [Tab].
Show Cables
If you have made many connections in Reason, the cables can sometimes obscure
the view, making it difficult to read the text printed on the back panels of the devices.
You can hide/show all cables in the following way:
D Select “Show/Hide cables” on the Options menu to hide all cables.
When cables are hidden, connections are indicated by a colored connector. Re-
peating the above procedure makes the cables appear again.
D When hidden, you can still connect or disconnect cables in the same way
as when they are shown.
Checking Connections
It is possible to check to which device a jack is connected, which is useful if the ca-
bles are hidden, or if the connected devices are located far apart in the rack:
D Positioning the pointer over a connector makes a tool tip appear after a
moment, showing the device and the specific connector at the other end.
Follow Song
When this is activated, the sequencer Arrange and Edit views will scroll with the song
