New
When you select this, a new song appears. The exact contents of this song is determined by your Preferences set-
tings (see “Default Song”).
New from Template
On the sub-menu you can create a new song based on the selected Template Song. The selected Template Song
appears in a new document window.
On Windows platforms, the document will be named “Document n” where “n” is an incremental number.
On Mac OS X platforms, the document will be named “untitled n” where “n” is an incremental number.
You can then save your song with a new name. See “Creating a new Song from a template” for more details.
Open...
! The “Open...” item is only available if you run Record in Authorized Mode (see “Registering and authorizing
Record”).
To open a Song, proceed as follows:
1. Pull down the File menu and select Open.
The Record song browser window appears.
2. Use the browser to navigate to the desired folder on disk or within a ReFill.
3. When you have located the song file, select it and click Open (or double click on the file).

q You can have several songs open at the same time if you like. This allows you to copy and paste audio, note
and automation clips, tracks, devices, mixer channels and patches between songs. However, all open songs
consume some memory and performance, so you may want to close songs you don’t need.
See “Opening a Record or Reason Song” for more details.

cord in demo mode”).

those changes.
