Premium Edition Reason 4 Premium Edition is a top-notch package indeed. While you can always add Propellerhead's excellent ReFill expansion sound libraries to ramp up your sonic flavor, this package comes pre-loaded with four of Reason's top ReFills at big savings off what you'd pay for everything individually! Reason Drum Kit 2, Reason Pianos, Abbey Road Keyboards, and Reason Electric Bass come included with this excellent bundle. Reason Drum Kits 2 With Reason Drum Kits 2, you get a whole library of multi-sampled, highly playable drum kits for Reason's NN-XT sampler - 17, to be exact! The kit sounds range from Vintage Soul to Indie Pop to Hard Rock, plus you get 50 additional ReDrum kits and a host of MIDi files, song files, and style templates to give you guidance and inspiration. Reason Pianos You'll put three world-class acoustic pianos into your studio with the Reason Pianos ReFill! Chosen for their classic pop- and rock-friendly sound, you get the Steinway D, considered to be the world's finest grand piano; the Yamaha C7, a classic rock and jazz piano with a distinctive sound; and the Steinway K, a well-balanced upright known for its deep tone. All pianos were recorded at multiple velocity levels, from multiple angles, and using six different sets of microphones, so you can dial in the right rich tone for your song. Abbey Road Keyboards Tap into the classic instruments of England's famed Abbey Road Studios - you get seven different instruments in all, meticulously sampled, and using the same mics and equipment heard on countless legendary sessions (The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Stevie Wonder, to name a few). Reason Electric Bass Eight fully playable electric bass guitars enter your rig with the Reason Electric Bass ReFill. Featuring selectable basses and bass rigs plus a wide selection of music style patches, this ReFill lets you add incredibly dynamic, natural-sounding bass lines to your productions. What's New? One new feature that will quickly ease its way into your workflow is Reason 4's new Tools Window, a floating window containing all your most frequently used tools. Using the Tools window, you can create new devices by choosing from a device palette, fine tune your sequencer data from the Tools pane, or set groove parameters using the groove pane. The device palette lets you drag-and-drop instruments and effects directly to the rack and place them just where you want them. The Tools pane contains all of Reason's sequencer editing tools, allowing for quick access to everything from Quantization to vector automation cleanup and legato adjustments. The Combinator and NN-XT devices have both had minor revisions to make programming patches easier and more powerful. If you are not into making your own sounds, these changes may not mean much to you. The NN-XT has been given new features to edit multiple samples simultaneously, to chromatically auto-map samples and a new Group Mono function to let samples play polyphonically, but still be silenced by other samples in the same sample group. The Combinator now has a transpose function that transposes notes sent to a device. Other additions include performance data filters to stop certain types of data from being sent to a device, more flexible choice of Sources in the programmer and a function to automate the receive notes option, making it possible to switch between instruments in a Combinator patch. Thor Reason 4 boasts new instruments and tools to inspire your creativity and push sonic boundaries. Where other synths use one specific form of synthesis and one single filter, the Thor polysonic synthesizer features six different oscillator types and four unique filters, making Thor an unstoppable monster of a sound generator that utilizes synthesizer technology from the last 40 years. Six open filter and oscillator slots let you load up three different synth filters and three separate oscillators simultaneously, allowing you to dial in synth sounds that are completely new. An all-powerful modulation matrix gives you complete control over your signal flow, letting you modulate anything within Thor with anything within Thor. At the bottom of this synth sits an analog style step sequencer with more than one twist. Being every bit as modular as the rest of Thor's components, this step sequencer does more than just play melodies - use it as a modulation tool, trigger phrases from specific keys, create intense arpeggios, generate piercing percussion lines. With its unique selection of oscillator types and synth filters, the Thor polysonic synthesizer is a veritable synth museum. Thor may have one foot in history, but its sound is pure future. RPG-8 Reason 4 ships with RPG-8, a brand new unit dedicated to the art of arpeggiation. With a wide range of on-panel controls and mode selectors, a pattern section for muting selected notes in an arpeggio and a large display showing values and positions, this device gives you full creative control over your arpeggios. Although very hands-on and user friendly, the RPG-8 boasts some very advanced features under the surface. Features that will change how you play Reason's instruments. The 'Single Note Repeat' function engages the arpeggiator only when two or more simultaneous notes are held down - letting you add sudden bursts of arpeggio to your melody lines. The 'Manual' mode will arpeggiate notes strictly in the order they were input, for realtime arpeggio control. The RPG-8 monophonic arpeggiator is a creative workhorse that can - and should - be used with all of Reason's sound sources; try arpeggiating your breakbeats, your orchestra samples, or your ReCycled vocals. ReGroove One of the most frequent complaints about sequenced music is that it doesn't have that human feel. The ReGroove mixer, Reason's own realtime groove management device, solves this problem. The ReGroove mixer in Reason 4 gives you more than just a set of sequencer swing parameters - this is a unique device dedicated to one thing: the groove. The ReGroove Mixer applies its timing magic non-destructively and in realtime, giving you freedom to adjust its settings - and fine-tune your groove - as your music is playing. And of course, Reason wouldn't be Reason without its huge Factory Sound Bank. The Sound Bank holds patches for all devices in Reason to help you get going instantly. Reason Reason is a full-featured music workstation that is only limited by your computer horsepower. You can literally stack instrument on top of instrument to create mind-blowing arrangements. Synthesizers, samplers, drum machine, ReCycle-based loop player, mixer, effects, pattern sequencer and more are all available to you, and load as many of each as your computer can handle. Reason is an infinitely expandable music workstation on a CD-ROM, complete with its own realtime sequencer. Reason is easily one of the most sought-after and used desktop musical environments available today. Propellerheads Reason 4 Premium Edition Features:
