Europa Shapeshifting Synthesizer
Reason is famous for its killer onboard synths, Thor, Malström, and Subtractor. Now there's Europa, and it's a beast. If you're into massive, epic sounds, you're going to love Europa. From huge stacks of cutting sawtooths to glimmering, glitched-out sonic fantasias, this unique dynamic wavetable synth has you covered. Start with a preset waveform — or draw your own — then apply a broad range of modulation, add advanced spectral filtering, harmonics processing, and more. Load your own samples or wavetables and use them as oscillators. You can even use a sample in the Spectral Filter to generate sample-based filter curves. However you use Europa, the results are stunning. And huge. But despite its deep synthesis capabilities, Reason’s flagship synth remains delightfully intuitive and easy to use.
Grain Sample Manipulator
If you've been confused or put-off by the seeming complexity of granular synthesis, prepare to be won over by Reason's new Grain Sample Manipulator. With its delightfully easy-to-use interface, Grain fuses granular synthesis with elements of additive synthesis and classic tape workflows to create a synthesis engine capable of sounds you've never heard, as Grain turns your samples into grains and your grains into music. Drop a sample into Grain and marvel at the endless sonic mutations you can create with its available playback algorithms, modulation, routing, and effects. Simply put: Grain will revolutionize the way you think about sound.
New sampled instruments
Synthesizers are essential kit, but Propellerhead knows we also need organic elements to achieve musical feng shui. That's why Reason 10 puts three brand new natural instrument collections — Klang Tuned Percussion, Pangea World Instruments, and Humana Vocal Ensemble — in your Reason rack. Developed in cooperation with the sampling gurus at SoundIron, these nifty devices deliver a plethora of inspiring, natural-sounding instruments for your music-making pleasure.
Ideal for creating memorable melodies or adding organic dimension to electronic music, Klang Tuned Percussion includes instruments like Glockenspiel, Music box, Wineglasses, and much more. Pangea World Instruments is a collection of instruments from the far corners of the Earth. Plucked, strummed, pumped, and blown, these instruments will add a new dimension to any music genre. With its solo voices and choirs, Humana Vocal Ensemble is perfect for adding depth and harmony to soundtracks or pop ballads.
Two indispensable Rack Extensions, now included
The Radical Piano and Synchronous Effects Modulator Rack Extensions have become so popular with songwriters, producers, and sound designers that Propellerhead decided to just include them in Reason 10. Radical Piano may well change the way you use pianos in your music. Using unique technology that blends sampling and physical modeling, Radical Piano gives you three sampled pianos — Home Grand, Deluxe Grand, and Upright — and the means to easily create an infinite number of your own, from pristine-clean to colorfully unique. Imagine a piano in a real space and then create it through Radical Piano's intuitive controls. Synchronous Effects Modulator's extensive palette of modulation effects let you quickly patch sidechain effects or draw your own LFO curves to control filtration, reverb, delay, distortion, and level to create evolving textures that bring your music to life.
Loop Supply & Drum Supply
Contemporize your music with Loop Supply & Drum Supply, a multi-gigabyte infusion of cutting-edge loops and drum samples that stocks your Reason rack with up-to-date pop, electronic, and hip hop sounds — including a massive selection of patches for Reason’s Kong drum machine and Dr Octo Rex loop player.
