Propellerhead Software made a major announcement today about their immensely popular music-creation platform for Mac and Windows, Reason: The new version of the software, Reason 10, will be released to the world on October 25! With this release Propellerhead has delivered the biggest content update in Reason history: two incredible new synthesizers, three new organic-sounding instruments, a versatile piano instrument, a creative modulation device, and 3GB of cutting-edge drum loops and samples provide an unprecedented palette of sonic possibilities for creating tracks in any genre or style. The Propellerhead goal for this update was to ensure that musicians, producers, composers, and engineers had a fantastic set of instruments and sounds ready to go, right out of the box, so that they could immediately get to work creating music.
Mattias Haggstrom Gerdt, Propellerhead Product Manager, explains: “Great-sounding instruments and effects inspire musicians to create more and better music. With Reason 10, not only have we delivered some of the best-sounding instruments we’ve ever created, the result is the biggest upgrade we’ve ever done. I’m particularly fond of the new synths, Europa and Grain, that set a new standard for what’s available in the box. With the two new synths, a plethora of sampled instruments, drums, loops and much more — we can’t wait to hear what music makers are going to create with Reason 10.”
Europa is a dynamically generated wavetable synthesizer with extreme flexibility. Apply a wide range of modulation to the waveform itself, to start with. Add advanced spectral filtering, harmonics processing and even draw your custom waveforms. And the best part: despite its deep synthesis powers, it’s still surprisingly easy to use.
Grain opens up the world of granular synthesis for Reason users with immense sonic power and an inviting interface. Drop any sample into Grain and explore the endless sonic variations you can create with Grain’s selection of algorithms, ultra-flexible modulation, routing, and effects.
Klang Tuned Percussion includes 10 high-quality, sampled melodic percussion instruments, perfect for spicing up modern pop and electronica.
Pangea World Instruments includes 11 world instruments, adding a unique flavor to any genre of music.
Humana Vocal Ensemble is a collection of choirs and solo vocals, perfect for a human touch or a bombastic film or game soundtrack.
Radical Piano is an authentic, flexible, and bendable piano instrument that provides sounds for every situation and every song.
Synchronous will bring your music to life. Create quick sidechain effects or draw your own LFO curves to control filter, delay, reverb, distortion and level.
Reason Drum Supply and Reason Loop Supply — These ReFills include a wealth of new drum samples and loops, from vintage drum machines to the sounds of the future.
