Loading and Saving Patches

[ LiB ]

All of Reason's Sound Modules allow you to select patches, or sounds, to play. You can either load a preset patch from Reason's factory CDs or from other sources, such as third-party ReFills, or you can create, save, and reload your own patches. Loading and saving works the same in each of Reason's devices.
