QUICK TUTORIAL

Guided Tour
On the following pages you will find a brief “guided tour” through the program.
This helps you get familiar with the different devices and their uses.
The Rack
This is the virtual rack, the heart of Reason. At the top of the rack you will always
find the Hardware Interface, which allows Reason to communicate with the au-
dio hardware and MIDI interfaces. Below this, you can add as many different de-
vices you want (or as many as your computer can handle). Read more about the
different devices below.
The Back
If you press [Tab] or select Toggle Rack Front/Rear on the Options menu, the
rack will be “turned” to show you the back.
Here, the back panel of each device in the rack is shown. As you can see, con-
nections between devices are indicated by “virtual patch cables”. Connections
between instrument devices and mixers use red cables, connections to or from
effect devices use green cables and CV connections (Control Voltage, used for
controlling parameters or triggering sounds) use yellow cables. You can make
connections by clicking and dragging from one “socket” to another on the back
panels.
To turn the rack over again (to show the front panels), use the same command.
