Paste/Paste Device/Paste Patch/Paste Pattern

This command takes the items you have cut or copied and pastes them back into the document.

Sequencer tracks

If you Paste the track(s) into their original song, this simply duplicates the tracks.

However, the Pasted tracks will not be connected to any devices in the rack.

You can also Paste the track(s) into another song.

Note that only the tracks (complete with contents) are copied and pasted - not their respective devices. You may want to separately copy and paste the devices to the other song.

Sequencer events and groups

When you Paste sequencer events and groups, they appear at the song position, on their original track(s).

If you have deleted the original tracks, or if you Paste into another Reason song document, new tracks will be created as needed.

Devices

When you Paste devices, these are inserted into the rack below the currently selected device.

If no device is selected, the pasted devices will appear at the bottom of the rack.

If you Copy and Paste several devices, the connections between these are preserved.

If you hold down [Shift] when you Paste a device, Reason will attempt to automatically route its audio patching.

Patterns

Paste Pattern copies the pattern on the clipboard to the selected pattern location in the selected device.

This overwrites the selected pattern with the one on the clipboard.

Transferring patterns between Reason songs

If you want to copy patterns between different Reason songs, you use copy and paste:

1. Open both songs.

2. Select the pattern you want to copy.

3. Select Copy Pattern from the Edit menu or the device context menu.

4. Make the other song active.

This is done by clicking in the song window or by selecting the song from the Windows menu.

5. Select the bank and pattern location to which you want to copy the pattern.

Note that any pattern already stored in that location will be overwritten!

6. Select Paste Pattern from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
