What Is
Reason?
Reason 3.0 is a unique software
synthesizer. The Propellerhead program is a virtual studio rack
with hundreds of instruments you need to turn ideas into music.
Propellerhead Reason is packed with killer synths and effects
that make up a complete music system.
Thousands of producers use Propellerhead’s
Reason is there studio including hot professionals like
“Timbaland” and “The Neptunes”. I definitely use the program in
my studio and I have produced crazy beats that have sold for as
much as $6,500. Not Bad Cochese!
The program is so simple to use and literally
has thousands of sounds you can load into it from the synth
refills.

The Ease of
Reason
As a Reason user, you can forget about the
downsides of music production. Forget malfunctioning modules
and confusing connections. Reason's cables don't tangle. Forget
about tiny backlit displays and steep learning curves. Reason
is so direct you'll learn it in minutes. And forget the tedious
process of gathering all the different disks and sound banks
needed to load up a song.
With Reason, picking up where you left off - be
it last night or last month - is as simple as turning the power
on. When you save your music, your whole studio setup is stored
along with it. You can even include your samples, loops and
drum kits in the Reason file, for easy web publishing or email
collaboration with other Reason users. For once, total recall
is truly total. And so is the sound. The audio quality is
everything you would expect from Propellerhead Software. But
pristine sound quality is only half the story; the instruments
and effects in Reason are loaded with character and
attitude.
Although easy to learn and a breeze to use,
Reason is an extremely flexible system that's as complex and
advanced as you make it. And with sophisticated tools such as
the MClass mastering suite, or the Combinator, which lets you
build new instruments and effects by combining and layering
Reason devices, Reason will not just impress, but inspire
you.

Reason Control
Functions
Each unit in Reason's virtual rack is edited
from its own on-screen front panel. All the sliders, knobs,
buttons and functions are right in front of you, ready to be
tweaked, turned and twisted in absolute real-time. And all your
front panel actions - filter adjustments, pitch bending, gain
riding or panning - can be recorded and automated in the Reason
sequencer.

Routing With
Reason
A single keypress will turn Reason's rack
around, and there you are, in patch cord heaven. Most audio
connections are made automatically. When a new device is
created, it appears immediately below the currently selected
device, and Reason patches it into the system in the most
logical way. Repatch by dragging the patch cord plug to the
desired connector, or just make a pop-up menu choice. Most
devices have one or more parameters controlled by Gate and/or
CV. And all instrument devices have several Gate or CV output
options. Combine this with easy, transparent patching, and you
have connection power approaching that of a fully modular
synth.

Getting More Equipment
With Reason
No problem. Choose a synth, a drum machine, a
loop player or any device from the Create menu, and it will
instantly appear in your rack, logically patched into the
signal chain. And because Reason is designed to go easy on your
computer, you can repeat the process until you're more than
happy. If you ever wished you had eleven samplers and ten
compressors, Reason is definitely for you. And if you have
created more machines than you have mixer channels, just create
another mixer. The studio of your dreams is just a few mouse
clicks away.
