MANAGING THE RACK
49
Selecting Devices
Some operations (e.g. cutting, copying and deleting devices) require that you
select one or several devices in the rack. This is done according to the following
rules:
D To select a single device, click on it in the rack.
The selected device is displayed with a colored border (based on the color
scheme selected for your operating system).
D To select several devices, hold down [Shift] and click.
In other words, [Shift]-clicking a device selects it without de-selecting any
other selected devices.
D To de-select all devices, click in the empty space at the bottom of
the rack.
D To de-select one of the selected devices, hold down [Shift] and click
on it.
Any other selected devices remain selected.
D You can also use the up and down arrow keys on the computer key-
board to select the device directly above or below the currently se-
lected one.
When you use this method, Reason will automatically scroll the rack so that
the selected device is fully visible. This is a quick way to “step through” the
rack. Narrow devices (e.g. half-width devices such as the effects) are or-
dered left-to-right, i.e. pressing the down arrow key will step through the de-
vices from left to right before moving on the next device row.
D If you hold down [Shift] when using the up or down arrow keys, the
currently selected device will remain selected.
This allows you to select a range of devices.
Adjusting a parameter in a device will automatically select it. In other words, you
never have to select a device before making settings.
Deleting Devices
To delete one or several devices, select them and use one of the following meth-
ods:
D Hold down [Command] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows) and press [Back-
space] or [Delete].
D Select “Delete Device” from the Edit menu or the device context
menu.
You can also automatically delete devices when you delete sequencer tracks: If
there is a single sequencer track routed to a device, and you delete this track,
you will be asked whether you want to delete the device as well (see page 63).
! If you delete a device connected between two other devices, the
connection between these is automatically preserved.
! The Hardware Interface device at the top of the rack cannot be re-
moved.
Reordering Devices
You can rearrange the devices in the rack by moving them, in the following way:
1. If you want to move more than one device at the same time, select
the devices.
2. Click in the “handle” area of one of the devices.
For full width devices, this is the area to the left and right of the panel (be-
tween the rack fittings); for smaller devices you can click anywhere outside
the actual parameters.
3. With the mouse button pressed, drag the device(s) up or down in
the rack.
A thick red vertical line indicates where the device(s) will be positioned.
Note that the red line can be to the left of a device (indicating that the moved
device will be inserted before the other device) or to the right of a device (in-
dicating that the moved device will be inserted after the other device).
