What is the best way to use the ReFill packer?
If You are going to create Your own ReFill, make sure that You do some planning and organizing before You start creating any patches. Begin by creating a main folder on Your hard drive, a folder that will be the actual ReFill. Then add subfolders in this that will contain the samples or patches if You want to organize these in this fashion. Move the samples to their correct location in this main folder/subfolders before You start creating any patches. When the samples are in place, You can proceed with the actual creation of the patches. Be sure to save these patches inside the main soon-to-be ReFill folder. If You move anything afterwards, be it samples or patches, the search paths will be broken and the ReFill packer will be unable to create the ReFill.
When You edit the samples, save these with the proper file extension – .wav or .aif – even if You are on Mac system.
If any samples have migrated from one system to another, make absolutely sure that the file format is correct afterwards. We have seen that samples that e.g. have been created on a PC, saved as aiff files and then moved over to a Mac, could appear as AIFC files on the Mac system. The AIFC format is a compressed AIFF file and cannot be recognized by Reason. If this happens You have to convert these files on the Mac, either by using a conversion utility or by simply changing the Creator-type, using e.g File Buddy. Stick to one file type, it doesn’t matter at all to the end result if the files are .wav or .aif – when the ReFill has been successfully created it can be used on either a Mac or a Windows system.

No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
