THE SEQUENCER - BASICS
60
Working with the sequencer in a separate
window
The sequencer window can be detached from the rack and used in a separate
window. This could be useful for instance if you are working with a large number
of tracks or if you are viewing many sequencer lanes at once. Detaching the se-
quencer will then make it possible to view all tracks or lanes at once without hav-
ing to resize the sequencer or scroll the view up and down to focus on a certain
track or lane
The separate sequencer window can be positioned and resized freely both hori-
zontally and vertically using the basic windows techniques described on page
40.
D To detach the sequencer from the rack, either click the correspond-
ing button in the top right corner of the rack, or pull down the Win-
dows menu and select “Detach Sequencer Window”.
D Similarly, to reattach the sequencer window to the rack, either se-
lect “Attach Sequencer Window” from the Windows menu or click
the button.
Note that the button for detaching the sequencer window is only available in
the rack. The button for reattaching the sequencer though, is available both
in the rack and in the sequencer.
The Attach Sequencer button on the sequencer and, in the background, on the rack.
! Another way of reattaching the sequencer window is by closing it.
Note also that the rack is still the “main” window for the song,
which means that closing the song will close the sequencer window
as well.
About the Transport
You’ll notice that when detaching the sequencer from the rack, there will be two
instances of the transport on the screen - one in the rack and one in the se-
quencer window. This is for convenience since it allows you to control playback
and recording regardless of which window is the active one.
Should you wish however, you can fold one of the transports in the same manner
as with any other device in Reason. Folding and unfolding devices is described
on page 55.
✪ To make the rack or the sequencer the active window when they are
separated, you can use the key commands [Command]-[1] (Mac)/
[Ctrl]-[1] (Windows) and [Command]-[2] (Mac)/[Ctrl]-[2] (Windows)
respectively.
