REASON STUDIOS Reason 13 Upgrade

Reason is the Rack and the devices. Reason is a plugin and a DAW. Reason is the wires and the workflow. Reason is your musical ideas and your final result.

THE HEART OF REASON

If Reason was a song, the Rack would be the hook. Wire up instruments, effects, and Player MIDI effects to create the sound you're looking for. Or discover something completely new.

A COMPLETE DAW

From your first beat to your next album, Reason is the music making software for capturing and exploring your ideas. Easy to get started yet deep as you want it to be, it’s everything you need to sound like you.

PATCHES, PACKS, PATTERNS

No music without sounds. Reason comes with a huge sound bank of more than 30000 patches, loops, and samples that are categorized and tagged for fast exploration. From in style, to out of style, to back in style—Reason’s library consists of over 20 years of world-class sounds.

MUSICAL MACHINES

Reason comes jam-packed with a huge collection of unique synthesizers, instruments, samplers, drum machines, audio effects, and much more. Our devices have been lovingly hand-crafted in Sweden since we started in 1994. By music makers, for music makers.

BROWSE YOUR WAY

All patches, samples, and loops are now in one place—the new Browser. Find the perfect sound by filtering on anything from name and kind to categories and tags. Just type what you’re looking for and the browser will give you suggestions or use the Category and Tag buttons to filter your way to a new sound.

TAG, YOU’RE IT!

All content in Reason is now categorized and tagged to let you explore sounds in a whole new way. That includes all soundbanks, all Reason Studios devices, and all Sound Packs. Over 20 years of sound design for you to use and abuse. Anything that isn’t already tagged by us can of course be tagged by you.

SEQUENCER UPGRADE

The sequencer has been split into two. With the new Edit Area it’s easy to get down and dirty with the details in your music without losing your way in the arrangement. Together with several new workflow improvements, improved zooming, layout changes, and easy access to editing features—the upgraded sequencer makes it effortless to make your music sound like you.

IT’S GOT THE LOOK

Reason 13 doesn’t just sound good, it also looks good. Together with the sequencer the entire Reason interface has been updated. It might not necessarily improve your music, but it will make it easier to find your way around.
