Selecting a patch
Patches are loaded from the Patch browser. To select a patch, proceed as follows:
1. Click the Browse Patch (folder) button on the Subtractor panel.
This opens the Patch browser dialog. By default for a new Subtractor device, the folder “Subtractor
Patches” of the Reason Factory Soundbank will be shown. This folder contains a number of sub-fold-
ers with different patch categories.
2. Open one of the folders, and select a patch, but do not close the browser window.
The patch is loaded in the background - you can now try out the patch while playing your keyboard.
3. Try auditioning other patches in the browser.
When you have found a patch you like, click OK to close the browser.
D Once you have selected a patch this way, you can step between the patches in the same
folder, by clicking the up and down arrow buttons next to the patch display.
Alternatively, you can click in the patch name display to bring up a context menu with all the patches in
the folder. The browser will now remember this location so the next time you open the patch browser
for this instance of the instrument
D The basic procedure of browsing and selecting patches is the same for all instrument de-
vices.
All devices that use patches have a Patch name display, a Browse Patch (Folder) button for opening
the Patch browser, Up/Down arrow buttons and a Save Patch button (floppy disk icon).
