Whats new in Reason 5?
Reason Upgrade
Reason is back from its biggest overhaul ever. Version 5 brings the
mighty Kong Drum Designer, a much-improved REX loop player, a whole
new way of sequencing, live sampling and much, much more.
Description
The new Kong Drum Designer and the Dr.OctoRex loop player extend
Reason’s instrument arsenal to help you get phenomenal sounding
rhythms, drums tracks and beats. With Kong you can build and play drum
kits based on synthesis, sampling, REX loops or physical modeling.
Dr.OctoRex loads eight REX loops into one player and lets you switch
between loops on the fly. Use it to build arrangements with chord
progressions, fills and variations. Or use it for some serious loop bending.
Reason 5 adds a whole new mode of sequencing — Blocks. Build your songs parts like patterns,
or blocks, and then string the blocks together in song mode for super fast arranging. You can also
combine Reason's classic sequencer with blocks and build complex and polished song
productions.
And there is more of course: Live sampling into all sample capable devices means you can work
with samples in a new and playful manner and re-explore the lost art of sampling. Reason's new
song format lets you enclose all samples, even those from ReFills, in the song files, making
collaboration with other Reason users even easier. Sci-fi grade multi core optimization, the
practical on-screen keyboard and an even more expanded Factory Sound Bank is just the icing on
the cake.
