Propellerhead Reason 9 Music Production Software

When it comes to music production, Propellerhead's Reason 9 Music Production Software streamlines the creative process so that it is easier than ever before to go from idea to finished product. The latest version of the ground-breaking DAW introduces a range of new devices, sounds, and tools that accentuates the 'playful' element of making music.

New for Reason 9.5

There are three Player devices at the ready, which transform any MIDI input information into music. At the touch of a button, Scales & Chords turns simple melodies into complex harmonic patterns and chords for you, so that you can focus solely on crafting your sound. Without any understanding of music theory, you can compose elaborate harmonies with ease.

Taking this even further is the new Dual Arpeggio player, which magically transforms chords into intricate rhythms. Whether it’s an elegant rise-and-fall, a bouncing polyphonic, or sophisticated polyrhythmic pattern, a flurry of notes can be articulated beautifully, with a single keystroke.

Note echo meticulously creates rhythmic, perfectly pitched MIDI delays that shape subtle melodies, precise drum rolls, and much more. Pitch Edit mode enables you to correct and alter out-of-tune notes, change the timing, adjust dynamic elements and add effects such as vibrato. You can even convert Audio to MIDI, for enhanced control over instruments including vocals.

There are 1000 new sounds to play with that expands Reason's already enviable library to greater proportions. Propellerhead have also taken into account the fact that the music making process doesn't stop when the sun goes down. With that in mind, darker themes have been added to preserve your eyes during those late night sessions.

In addition to all this, Reason 9.5 now includes VST support for use with all of your virtual studio instruments, the possibilities are endless!

Intuitive control layout

As we've come to expect from Reason, the control surface is easy to use, and yours to shape as you wish. The drag-and-drop workflow style allows you to structure the interface in the best way that suits you. Easily explore inspiring sounds instantly in the new browser that remains open at the side of your screen making it permanently accessible. One of the core strengths of Reason 9 is that no matter what your skill level and whatever type of musician you are, Reason 9 can propel your music making capability into new and powerful dimensions thanks to the large amount of built in racks.

Synth heads will appreciate the inclusion of the classic Subtractor analogue synth, the digitally aggressive Malstrom graintable synth and the Thor polysonic synth. Between these sonic creation stations, every sound you want to create for your music can be done so with ease, the only limit here is your imagination.

Reason 9 also includes the classic Redrum drum computer for pattern programming as well as the infinitely capable Kong drum designer with its superb physical modelling capability. For those that prefer to use samples, the Dr. Octo Rex loop player makes multiple pitch and tempo loops a breeze to integrate into your music. The NN-XT advanced sampler and NN-19 are on hand to load in rich and complex, multi layered instrument patches such as piano, organ, strings and so much more, a real songwriters dream.

Mastering and connectivity

Propellerhead Reason 9 Music Production Software is also capable of working in perfect harmony with all of your outboard equipment too thanks to the aptly named External MIDI instrument rack. This extends the full automation and sequencing power of Reason to all of your favourite MIDI gear.

Finally, a full class of mastering racks let you add uncompromising polish and sparkle to your audio, be it recorded through an audio interface or generated from Reason 9 itself. Advanced reverb, sonic destruction, triple filtered gates, delays, pitch adjustment... The list is long and distinguished and all comes built in. For guitarists, there are all-new guitar and bass amplifiers from renowned modelling experts Softube.
