COMMON OPERATIONS AND CONCEPTS

Undo
Virtually all actions in Reason can be undone. This includes creation, deletion
and reordering of devices in the Rack, parameter value adjustments, editing in
the sequencer and tempo/time signature adjustments. You can undo up to 10
actions.
D To undo the latest action, select “Undo” from the Edit menu or
press [Command]/[Ctrl]-[Z].
The action to be undone is indicated next to the Undo command on the Edit
menu. For example, if your latest action was to delete some device(s) from
the Rack, the Edit menu will say “Undo Delete Devices”.
D To redo the last undone action (“undo the undo operation”), select
“Redo” from the Edit menu or press [Command]/[Ctrl]-[Y].
Similarly, the action to be redone is shown on the Edit menu.
About Multiple Undos
The concept of multiple undos may require an explanation: You can undo up to
10 actions, or in other words, Reason has an Undo History with up to ten steps.
Let’s say you have performed the following actions:
1. Created a mixer.
2. Created a synth device.
3. Adjusted the Amp Envelope Attack time on the synth.
4. Changed the panning for the synth device in the mixer.
5. Adjusted the playback tempo in the transport panel.
After these five actions, the Undo History will look as follows:
If you now select Undo, your latest action (the tempo change) will be undone,
and moved to a “Redo list”:
Selecting Undo again undoes the next action in the list (the panning adjust-
ment):
If you now select Redo, the last undone action will be redone. In this case, your
panning adjustment will be performed again (and added to the Undo History
again):
At this point, you still have the option to Redo the tempo change. But if you in-
stead would perform another action (e.g. change the level of the synth device in
the mixer), this would become the action at the top of the Undo History - and the
Redo list would be cleared.
Now you can no longer redo the undone tempo change!
