Scrolling and Zooming
Reason offers a few different options for scrolling and zooming in the rack and
the sequencer.
Scrolling with the scrollbars
Whenever there is information “outside the screen”, horizontal and/or vertical
scrollbars will appear. For example, if there are more devices in the rack than can
be shown at one time, you will be able to scroll the rack up or down by using the
vertical scrollbar to the right of the rack.
Scrolling with the Hand tool
In the sequencer, you can also use the Hand tool for scrolling the view. Just se-
lect the Hand tool and click in a lane, keep the mouse button pressed and drag
in the desired direction.
Scrolling the Key edit lane with the Hand tool.
✪ You can scroll in any direction as long as the lane allows it (the Ve-
locity lane for example is only possible to scroll horizontally). By
holding down [Shift] while you drag however, you can limit the
scrolling direction to horizontal or vertical only.
Zooming with the magnification sliders
Some areas also allow you to zoom in or out using magnification controls. Either
click the “+” or “–” magnification icon to zoom in or out respectively, or click and
drag the magnification slider.
D Where applicable, different panes can be scrolled and zoomed indi-
vidually.
In the sequencer, there are separate view controls for the Key edit lane and the
Controller lane.
Zooming with the Magnifying Glass tool
Another way of zooming in the sequencer is to use the Magnifying Glass tool.
This tool lets you zoom in and out both horizontally and vertically just like the
magnification sliders do. However, the Magnifying Glass tool offers a few more
possibilities.
The following applies:
D By clicking once in a lane with the Magnifying Glass, you zoom in by
the same amount as when clicking the “+” icon on the magnifica-
tion slider twice.
D To zoom out with the Magnifying Glass, click while keeping [Op-
tion] (Mac)/[Ctrl] (Windows) pressed.
You’ll notice that the “+” sign in the Magnifying Glass tool changes to a “-”
sign.
D If the lane has a vertical magnification slider as well, clicking with
the Magnifying Glass will also zoom in/out vertically by the same
amount as when clicking the“+” and ”-” icons on the magnification
slider once.
By holding down [Shift] when clicking, you disable vertical zooming.
