In this tutorial I will show you how to create a device in Reason. Creating your own device is useful when you want to creating something using other than what you are given with the default rack (the rack that comes up when you start reason. You can create as many devices as you wish (as long as you have enough memory and processing power on your computer. There are two popular ways to accomplish this; I will be showing you both.
Method one – In this scenario we will be using the Reason’s File Menu.
Launch Reason by double clicking on the Orange Icon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you launch Reason, it should show you the default rack (full of instruments)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the file menu at the top left hand corner of your screen and click on File
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now click on “New”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should now have a completely empty rack with only a mixer.
The other Reason session can now be closed (the one you first opened).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the file menu at top of your screen and click on “Create”.
Then select the device you would like added to the rack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this example I will use the ReDrum computer
(also known as the drum machine).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should now have a new ReDrum computer added to your rack. The beauty
of Reason is as long as you have enough available channels on your virtual mixer
it will automatically wire the device for you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 2 – Using the right click menu
In this method we will do almost the exact same thing as the first method above except
that we won’t be using the file menu at the top of the screen,. Instead you will right
click anywhere in the open black area on the rack or on a device itself.
that we won’t be using the file menu at the top of the screen,. Instead you will right
click anywhere in the open black area on the rack or on a device itself.
If you right click in any open area in the rack you should immediately
get the same “Create device” menu as described above
get the same “Create device” menu as described above
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can also achieve the result by right clicking directly on another
device on the rack (for this example I will do it on the mixer). Then select create.
