Selecting
The Replace and Search Locations functions (see below) are performed on the
files that are selected in the list. This allows you to replace some files manually
(necessary if the files have been renamed or are outside the Locations), have the
program find other files automatically and skip the rest of the files.
D To select a file, click on it in the list.
You can use the standard [Shift] or [Ctrl] (Win)/[Command] (Mac) selection
techniques to select several files
D To select all files in the list, click the Select All button.
When the dialog first appears, all files in the list are selected.
Search Locations
If you click the Search Locations button, Reason will search for the selected files
in all Locations set up in the Browser (except the Desktop). If the program finds
a file with the matching name and file type, the new path is stored in the song/
patch and the file is shown as “Replaced” in the Status column.
D Since the file search looks at the file names, files that have been re-
named will not be found!
This also means that if your Locations contain several files with the same
name, the wrong sounds may be found.
Replace
Clicking the Replace button opens the browser dialog, allowing you to manually
locate each missing file. This allows you to use files that have been renamed.
The browser dialog will appear once for each selected file in the list. The name
of the file to look for is shown in the Browser window’s title bar.
Search In...
This function is useful when you need to replace a whole lot of samples and you
know where these samples are located. A typical example would be if you have
reorganized the folder structure on your computer, and the sample folder has
been moved in relation to the folder with a sampler patch or song.
D If you click “Locate”, the Browser opens, asking you to select the
sample directory, i.e. the folder in which you know that the samples
are located.
Select either the folder, or a sample in the folder. When you click OK, Rea-
son will search in the selected folder (and its subfolders) only.
Download ReFill
If a missing sound is part of a ReFill (as indicated in the Part of ReFill Package
column), and there is a valid URL (Internet address) for this ReFill, you can
download the ReFill directly from this dialog (provided you have a working Inter-
net connection):
1. Select the sound(s) that use the ReFill.
You should only select several sounds if they use the same ReFill.
2. Click the Download ReFill button.
This launches your Internet browser and takes you to the URL associated
with the ReFill.
3. A dialog appears, asking you to download the ReFill. Do so.
4. Click OK.
Reason automatically scans the downloaded ReFill and locates the files.
Proceeding
At any point, you can click the OK button to close the dialog and open the song
or patch. Note:
D For the files you have found (status “Replaced”), the new paths will
be stored in the song or patch.
However, you need to save the song or patch for the changes to become
permanent!
D If any file is still missing when you click OK, there will be sounds
missing in the song/patch.
Sometimes, you may want to proceed with sounds missing, and then remove
or replace the sounds from the device panels in the rack instead.
On the device panels, missing samples are indicated with an asterisk (*) before the file
names:
Clicking Cancel will abort the operation, i.e. the song or patch will not be
opened.
