D If you click “Search Folder”, the Browser opens, asking you to select the sample directory, i.e. the folder in
which you know that the samples are located.
Select the folder. When you click “OK”, Reason will search in the selected folder (and its husbanders) only.
If the program finds a file with the matching name and file type, the new path is stored in the song/patch and the file
is shown as “OK” in the Status column.
Browse Manually
This function opens the Browser dialog, allowing you to manually locate each missing file. This allows you to use files
that have been renamed. The Browser dialog will appear once for each selected file in the list. The name of the file
to look for is shown in the Browser window’s title bar.
D If you click “Browse Manually”, the Browser opens, asking you to select the sample indicated in the Browser’s
title bar.
Select the sample and click “OK”.
D If you have selected several samples in the Missing Sounds dialog, the Browser remains open, promting you to
select the next sample, as indicated in the Browser’s title bar.
Download ReFill
If a missing sound is part of a ReFill (as indicated in the Part of ReFill/SoundFont column), and there is a valid URL
(Internet address) for this ReFill, you can download the ReFill directly from this dialog (provided you have a working
Internet connection):
1. Select the sound(s) that use the ReFill.
! You should only select several sounds if they use the same ReFill.
2. Click the “Download ReFill” button.
This launches your Internet browser and takes you to the URL associated with the ReFill.
3. A dialog appears, asking you to download the ReFill. Do so.
4. Click OK.
Reason automatically scans the downloaded ReFill and locates the files.
Proceeding
At any point, you can click the “Done” button to close the dialog and open the song or patch. There are a couple of
things to note, though:
• For the files you have found (status “Replaced”), the new paths will be stored in the song or patch.
However, you need to save the song or patch for the changes to become permanent!
• If any file is still missing when you click OK, there will be sounds missing in the song/patch.
Sometimes, you may want to proceed with sounds missing, and then remove or replace the sounds from the de-
vice panels in the rack instead.
On the device panels, missing samples are indicated with an asterisk (*) before the file names:
D Clicking “Cancel” will abort the operation, i.e. the song or patch will not be opened.
