Reason Studios Reason 12 (download version)

Is a powerful collection of virtual instruments, effects, and production tools that bring musical ideas and amazing sounds to life. Reason 12 can be used as a plug-in in your favorite DAW or to produce music "standalone".

The heart of Reason is a virtual rack in which all the sounds that the respective song needs are created, from scratch or from Reason's huge sound library. Synthesizers, instruments and effects - as many as needed - Reason covers all needs, whether synthetic, electronic or acoustic. If a rack is built, everything is automatically connected and routed. If you want to dive deeper, turn the Reason rack over and find yourself in modular heaven! Here you can experiment and play around until you find the sound you were looking for by freely wiring audio and control voltage between the devices in the rack. The only limit is your own imagination.

With a multi-gigabyte range of synth sounds, sampled instruments, drum kits, loops and effects, Reason's integrated sound bank offers everything you need for every style of music. The integrated browser helps to quickly find thousands of sounds in a huge sound library and try them out. Reason 12 contains both the plug-in version (VST, AU) and the stand-alone music production software Reason.

New in Reason 12:
Reason 12 has a brand new high-resolution graphics engine for all Reason rack devices, including all 3rd party rack extensions. The Reason window automatically adapts to the screen resolution and can be zoomed to suit your taste. With the also new Mimic Creative Sampler, sampling in the Reason Rack is taken to the next level. Mimic brings together Reasons legendary time stretching, transient slice detection and granular audio synthesis to make working with samples as creative and enjoyable as it should be. Already popular as one of the most powerful and adaptable devices in the Reason rack, the Combinator has been redesigned from the ground up for user-defined front-end design and macro control. Thus, Combinator has become a completely new sound design and performance tool that can implement even the most unusual ideas.
