2. Why Two ReFills?The two ReFills are e'actly the same and are totally e'changeable. "ne contains12 bit samples and the other /0 bit samples. That is the ";&< difference. Thenames of the samples are the same* so a song created with the 12 bit versionwill open fine with the /0 bit version installed or vice versa.The purpose for a 12 bit version is that the patches become lighter and faster toload and the C+) doesn7t have to wor4 as hard. The ReFill itself also ta4es upless space on the hard drive. The /0 bit version re=uires more R#$ and a fasterC+) than the 12 bit version to run smoothly.

"ur recommendation would be to wor4 with the 12 bit version when producing

and use the /0 bit version for mi'down.

Note:#s the ReFills are designed to be e'changeable* all data e'cept thesample bit rates is identical* and therefore they cannot coe'ist in any locationwhere Reason scans for ReFills* such as the Reason program folder* theDes4top* or any additional folders you have added to the &ocations pane in theReason browser. !f you plan on alternating between the two* the version not inuse must always be 4ept outside of Reason7s 9urisdiction,

3ound @an4.Therefore* we recommend a faster C+) and more memory for this product. !fyou have less memory than recommended* or if you 9ust want the patches to loadfaster* please use the 3tereo $i' patches 5$A6. These are stereorepresentations of the samples and wor4 perfectly well in a programming

situation.
