Turnkey knows that nailing the right sound quickly is vital to your creative process. At the heart of Reason is a virtual studio rack where you craft the sounds your music needs, starting from scratch or from Reason’s massive, multi-gigabyte sound library. From synthetic and electronic to acoustic and organic, Reason has you covered; while its integrated, interactive browser helps you quickly find and audition the perfect sounds for any genre. Synthesizers, instruments, effects — as many as you need. Brimming with more than 29,000 meticulously sculpted synths, samples, drum kits, loops, and effects, Reason’s onboard sound bank is renowned for putting everything you need to craft your music right at your fingertips. Now, Reason 12 ups the ante with a bevy of new features to incite inspiration and ignite your creativity.
Reason’s new high-res look is obvious right after you launch it. For longtime Reason users, it’s quite dramatic — to the extent that all your favorite instruments, effects, utilities, and third-party Rack Extensions will look as if you’re seeing them for the very first time. Whether you work on a laptop or with multiple large monitors, being able to freely arrange your screen workspace is key to optimizing your workflow. Reason 12 scales automatically according to your monitor’s resolution and pixel density, but you can also zoom and resize the Reason window to suit your requirements for each and every project.
Reason’s browser has been updated over the years, making it easier to find the sounds you’re looking for. Now, for Reason 12, the browser is fully interactive and provides instant search results as you type. Search results are categorized, indicating devices, presets, samples, folders, and more. And now you can search the current folder you’re in or all locations at once. Simply arrow down the list to audition sounds. With Reason 12, finding sounds is a seamless operation that doesn’t interrupt your creative flow.
Combining the most advanced audio technologies from Reason Studios’ legacy of cutting-edge DSP and sample slicing, Mimic Creative Sampler reimagines audio samples in a novel, highly musical fashion. Equipped with automatic transient slice detection that effortlessly chops up samples into discrete notes or drumbeats, Mimic leverages Reason’s acclaimed pitch and stretch algorithms for effortless, high-fidelity pitch shifting and time stretching of samples; it also offers exciting new granular synthesis and tape mode options. Armed with filters and effects geared specifically for adding color, character, and grit to your samples, Mimic is a new premium instrument that joins Reason’s other highly capable samplers in the Rack to expand your production power in new and exciting ways.
Hardcore Reason fans simply couldn’t live without the Combinator, a mainstay of the Reason Rack for many years. To call it a “utility device” would be an injustice: it’s an indispensable creative tool that allows for powerful sound design by letting you easily combine instruments, effects, and modular devices any way you see fit. Now, by popular demand, it’s been totally supercharged for Reason 12 with a host of new user-requested features that includes additional CV inputs, an enhanced control set, streamlined programming with customized macro controls, and an arsenal of expertly sound-designed patches that take full advantage of the Combinator’s upgraded capabilities. The new Combinator also features a new editor that lets you create front-panel designs with your own personalized layout of faders, knobs, buttons, and graphics. And for the first time, you can nest other Combinators inside a Combinator, which opens up delightful new worlds of sonic mayhem. This advanced, unique, powerful, and inspiring device is yet one more reason to love Reason!
