2. About the sound banks

Moving the Factory Sound Bank and Orkester Sound Bank These ReFills are required by the program, and are by default installed in the Reason application folder. We recommend that you keep them there, but should you need to move them to another folder or drive, you should do the following: 1. Quit Reason. 2. Move the sound bank ReFill(s) to the desired folders. 3. Create shortcuts (aliases) for the ReFills and move the shortcuts (aliases) to the Reason application folder. 4. Change the name of the shortcuts to "Factory Sound Bank.rfl" and "Orkester.rfl", respectively. This way, the program will find the sound banks when you start it again. [run] Combinator patches in the Factory Sound Bank If the name of a Combinator patch ends with "[run]", this means that it contains pattern devices - you need to activate the Run Pattern Devices button on the Combinator (or start playback in Reason) for the patch to sound as it's supposed to.
