They have also enabled a degree of choice about the look and feel of the program, thanks to the new Blue and Dark Themes. They have introduced a whole new category of device in Reason 9’s ‘Players’ they have integrated pitch correction into the sequencer, and they have provided some interesting MIDI-to-audio and audio-to-MIDI features. Instead, Propellerhead have given us the unexpected. In fact, the last new Reason instrument was the dull but useful ID8, back in Reason 6 - and Thor was released nearly 10 years ago. When looking at what was new in Reason 9 I found, again, that there were no new instruments. There were the browser enhancements, which were improved and consolidated in incremental updates but there were no new synths, or anything creative to get excited about. I remember being underwhelmed with the version 8 upgrade: all the new stuff was good, it was just a bit thin on the ground for the price of the upgrade. However, I didn’t start off believing that. I think Reason 9 is starting to pull together a more serious range of features. To some it’s a professional music-making workstation, but to others it’s more of a sonic playground: fun, but not for serious work. Propellerhead’s latest Reason update adds features you never knew you wanted - but which you might find indispensible.Įveryone seems to appreciate Reason in one fashion or another, but it does split opinion. The new Blue (centre) and Dark (top) Themes add a surprising amount of gravitas to Reason.
