THE SEQUENCER - BASICS

A note about using Reason with two monitors
If you have a computer system with two monitors, you can do the following:
D Use one monitor for viewing and managing the rack only.
D Detach the sequencer as described above, and dedicate one of your
monitors to the sequencer only.
To be able to use two monitors, you must have an operating system and a graph-
ics card that supports it.
Please refer to the documentation for your operating system and possibly the
graphics card for instructions on how to set up your system for using two moni-
tors.
Managing Tracks
Creating Tracks
As described on page 48, tracks are automatically created when you create in-
strument devices in the rack. Still, you may need to create additional tracks (e.g.
for recording effect device automation - see the Operation Manual pdf):
D To create a new sequencer track, pull down the Create menu and
select Sequencer Track (or select Create Sequencer Track from the
context menu in the sequencer).
The new track will appear below the currently selected track in the track list.
Initially, it will not be connected to any device (see below).
D You can also create a new sequencer track specifically for a device
by using the Create Sequencer Track for Device item on the device’s
context menu.
This works the same as when creating a new device, i.e. the new track is
connected to the device and has the same name.
Naming Tracks
You can rename a track by double clicking on its name in the track list and typing
in a new name. Note:
D If the track is connected to a device, the device will be renamed too.
Typically, after creating a new device, you can rename its sequencer track,
automatically changing the name of the device. The reverse is also true. That
is, renaming a device will also change the name of its sequencer track.
Selecting Tracks
To be able to manipulate a track or edit its contents, you need to select it. You
select a track by clicking on its name in the track list.
Selected tracks are highlighted in the list.
Selecting a track will automatically scroll the rack to bring the corresponding de-
vice into view.
