D Under Mac OS X, Reason will use the language selected in the operating
system (if applicable).
Create Menu
Create Instrument / Create Effect
Selecting this will open the Patch Browser, where you can browse for patches, re-
gardless of the device type. Depending on which menu item you selected, the
browser will be set to show instrument patches or effect patches only.
D Selecting a patch in the browser will automatically create a device of the
corresponding type in Reason, with the selected patch loaded.
Device List
To create a new device, select the desired item on the Create menu.
D The new device is added directly below the currently selected device in
the rack.
If no device is selected, the new device is added at the bottom of the rack.
D When you add a new device, Reason attempts to route it in a logical way.
D A track for the device will automatically be created in the sequencer.
The track will have the same name as the device. Master keyboard input will also
automatically be set to the new track, allowing you to immediately play the created
device from your MIDI keyboard.
! By default, this only applies to instrument devices, not to mixers or effect
devices. If you hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) when you
create the device, the opposite is true, i.e. mixers and effect devices get
new tracks but instrument devices don’t.
D Note that you can also create devices from the Device palette in the Tool
window.
Double clicking a device icon there is the same as selecting it from the Create
menu. You can also drag and drop devices from the Tool window to anywhere in
the rack.
