What is Reason? Making
music should be as easy as powering up a computer, loading up a
powerful piece of music software, and getting down to business. And it
is. Reason version 4 is a virtual studio rack with all the tools and
instruments you need to turn your ideas into music. And it's more than
just a set of excellent synths and effects. It's a complete music
system. Step into the age of Reason. All-in-one wonder Synthesizers,
samplers, drum machine, REX file loop player, professional mastering
tools, mixer, vocoder, world class effects, pattern sequencer and more.
As many of each as your computer can handle. Reason is an infinitely
expandable all-in-one music production environment, complete with its
own realtime sequencer. Although easy to learn and a
breeze to use, Reason is an extremely flexible music system - a system
that can be just as complex and advanced as you make it. With
sophisticated tools such as the MClass mastering suite, the mighty
Combinator device, or the all-powerful Thor synth, Reason will not just
impress, but inspire you. All controls work as their real life counterparts. Control your controls Each
unit in Reason's virtual rack is edited from its own on-screen front
panel. All the sliders, knobs, buttons and functions are right in front
of you, ready to be tweaked, turned and twisted in absolute real-time.
And all your front panel actions - filter adjustments, pitch bending,
gain riding or panning - can be recorded and automated in the Reason
sequencer. Need more gear? No
problem. Choose a synth, a drum machine, a loop player or any device
from the Create menu, and it will instantly appear in your rack,
logically patched into the signal chain. And because Reason is designed
to go easy on your computer, you can repeat the process until you're
more than happy. If you ever wished you had eleven samplers and ten
compressors, Reason is definitely for you. And if you have created more
machines than you have mixer channels, just create another mixer. The
studio of your dreams is just a few mouse clicks away. In Reason, you will never run out of rack space. Radical routing A
single keypress will turn Reason's rack around, and there you are, in
patch cord heaven. Most audio connections are made automatically. When
a new device is created, it appears immediately below the currently
selected device, and Reason patches it into the system in the most
logical way. Repatch by dragging the patch cord plug to the desired
connector, or just make a pop-up menu choice. Most devices have one or
more parameters controlled by Gate and/or CV. And all instrument
devices have several Gate or CV output options. Combine this with easy,
transparent patching, and you have connection power approaching that of
a fully modular synth. Download a Demo of ReasonThe Reason demo has all the features of the full version but is save/export disabled, has no support for ReFills and quits after 20 minutes.
