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. for more information and to view the wicked range of videos on whats new in Reason 5, please head to http://www.propellerheads.se/
