SOUNDS, DEVICES AND PATCHES

In this example an RV-7 reverb device is moved:
4. Release the mouse button.
The device(s) are moved to the new position and the other devices in the rack are
adjusted to fill up the “gaps”.
! Note that if you start to move a device but change your mind, you can
abort the operation by pressing [Esc] while keeping the mouse button
pressed.
D If you hold down [Shift] when you move a device, Reason will attempt to
automatically re-route it.
See page 26 for more info on auto-routing.
! Moving devices in the rack does not affect the order of the sequencer
tracks and vice versa.
Duplicating devices
To make a copy of a device in the rack, hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows)
and drag it to a new position.
D If you hold down [Shift] when you duplicate the device, Reason will at-
tempt to automatically route it, just as when you move devices.
See page 26.
Cut, Copy and Paste
Selected devices can be moved or duplicated using the Cut, Copy and Paste Device
functions on the Edit menu or device context menu. For example, this allows you to
copy one or several devices (such as an instrument device and all its insert effects)
from one Reason Song to another. The following rules apply:
D Cut and Copy affects all selected devices, and work according to the
standard procedures.
That is, Cut moves the devices to the clipboard (removing them from the rack)
while Copy creates copies of the devices and puts these on the clipboard, without
affecting the rack.
D When you Paste devices, these are inserted into the rack below the cur-
rently selected device.
If no device is selected, the pasted devices will appear at the bottom of the rack.
D If you Copy and Paste several devices, the connections between these
are preserved.
D If you hold down [Shift] when you Paste a device, Reason will attempt to
automatically route it.
The rules are the same as when moving or duplicating devices by dragging. Auto-
matic and manual routing is described in the chapter “Routing Audio and CV”.
In this case, the red line indicates that the reverb device will be inserted to the left of the phaser.
This is the result. Note that the filter device is moved to the left, to fill out the gap.
In this case, the red line indicates that the reverb device will be inserted to the right of the chorus/
flanger.
This is the result. All three devices are moved to the left, to fill out the gap.
