• If you have selected a patch, modified it and want to save it with the modifications, you could either save a sep-
arate, modified version of the patch (with a new name) or simply overwrite the old patch file on disk.
As usual, you will be asked whether you really want to replace the existing patch file.
q You can also save a patch by clicking the floppy disk button on the device panel.
q You can save a patch under the same name and location (without having the save dialog appear) by holding
down [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) and clicking the floppy disk button on the device panel. Note that this over-
writes the original patch!
Export Song/Loop as Audio File...
When you have created a complete song, you will want to mix it down to a WAV or AIFF audio file to make it playable
for other people (who don’t use Reason). You can either export the whole song, or only the loop (the region between
the left and right locator in the sequencer).
See “Exporting Songs or parts of Songs” for more information.
Export REX as MIDI File...
This item is only available if a Dr. Octo Rex device is selected in the rack. If you have loaded a REX file into a Dr. Octo
Rex device and wish to play back the loop via MIDI (typically from another sequencer), proceed as follows:
1. Select the Dr. Octo Rex device in the rack.
2. Select “Export REX as MIDI File...” from the File menu.
3. Save the MIDI File to disk.
4. In the other application, open the MIDI file you just created.
5. Set up the other application to play back the MIDI File on the correct MIDI Output and MIDI Channel (the out-
put and channel on which the Dr. Octo Rex device receives data).
Quit (Windows)
This allows you to quit the program. If there are any song documents open with unsaved changes you will be asked
whether you want to save those changes before quitting.
