F. Playing and controlling other devices (Synths, Samplers, FXs, REs and VSTs)
Selecting any other device in the Reason sequencer will default to the “generic” instrument mode. In this mode, it is possible to
configure the pads according to a selectable key and scale. It is also possible to program chords on a single pad. These features
are explained below. Please note, if you want to control an effect instead of an instrument, you need to create a sequencer track for
it. This can be done in the rack: right click on the FX device and choose "Create Track for…." from the context menu.
