Find All ReFills button
Clicking this button will make the program look for all available ReFills and list
them in the main file display.
The ReFills are listed together, even though they may be in different folders on your hard disk.
If you double click on a ReFill in the list, you can navigate “within” the ReFill and
select songs or sounds for opening, just as if they were separate files on disk.
! When you click the Find All ReFills button, Reason will look for Re-
Fills in the root folder(s) of the database, in the Reason program
folder and on any CD in the CD-ROM drive (regardless of whether
the CD-ROM drive is specified as a database search path or not).
Re-scan button
Click this button to have Reason re-scan the currently shown folder and update
the file display. Use this if you have changed the contents in a folder while the
browser was open, if you have added a new disk or CD-ROM, etc.
Getting Info
The area to the right of the file display is the info area. This will show information
about the item that is currently selected in the file display. Exactly which informa-
tion is shown depends on the file type. For example, the info area for samples or
REX files contains information about the file format and length of the selected
file, while the song info area displays comments from the author (Song Informa-
tion, see page 89), etc. If the selected file is part of a ReFill, this will be indicated
regardless of the file type. For details about the info area, see the electronic doc-
umentation.
The Preview function
When browsing REX files or samples, you can audition files before you choose
to load one. This is done in the following way:
DD
DD
Select the file in the file list and click the Preview - Play button to
the right.
The file is played back. During playback, the Play button is relabeled to
“Stop” - click this to stop playback.
DD
DD
You can also activate the Autoplay checkbox and simply select the
file you want to audition.
The selected file is automatically played back. Again, click the Stop button to
stop playback.
Opening files
When you have navigated to the desired folder (on your hard disk or within a Re-
Fill) and located the desired file, you open it by double clicking it in the file dis-
play or by selecting it and clicking the Open button.
! The browser will only display files of the relevant type. For example,
if you have selected the “Browse Synth Patches” function for a Sub-
tractor synth device, only synth patches will be listed.
✪ When browsing for a specific file in a folder, you can go to the
folder and then press the first letter of the desired file on the key-
board. E.g. if you want to load a sample called “Tabla”, you can
press the letter “T”. The browser will then automatically select the
first file in the folder that starts with the letter T, which in this case
may well be precisely the file you want.
