SETTING UP
26
• Built In - When this is selected, launching Reason will open a basic demo song. Selecting
“New” from the File menu will open a template song with a few devices to start with, but
no sequencer data.
Note that it is not possible to open these songs by regular means - via the browser - since
they are not “independent”.rns-files, and thus do not reside anywhere in the Reason
folder.
• Custom - This allows you to select a custom default song. Any Reason song can be used,
so if you often create songs using the same or similar device setups, you can use a previ-
ously created song as the default song. This way, all new songs you create will have the
same device setup.
D To select a custom default song, click the Folder icon to the right and browse to the de-
sired Reason song.
The name of the selected song will then be displayed in the text box.
