Welcome!
Thank you for choosing Reason!
Reason 9 introduces a new device type - Players - that can instantly transform any MIDI input into
compelling music. The Note Echo device creates rhythmic, pitched MIDI delays for melodies, drum rolls,
and more. The Scales & Chords device turns simple melodies into beautiful harmonies and chords so you
can stay focused on the music making. The Dual Arpeggio device transforms chords into intricate and
inspiring rhythms. From classic up-and-down to polyphonic and polyrhythmic, Dual Arpeggio breathes new
life into any instrument in your Reason rack.
Reason’s new Pitch Edit mode helps you produce flawless vocals. Fix out-of-tune notes, remove vibrato,
change your timing, create new melodies from your recording, change the dynamics, and more. Audio to
MIDI lets you convert your vocals to MIDI notes for endless sound manipulation possibilities.
Reason 9 also comes with 1000 new cutting-edge sounds to ignite your creativity. Whether you make
chart-topping anthems or the sound of the underground, Reason's new sound bank will take your music to
the next level. The legendary Reason rack is also enhanced with key workflow improvements and darker
theme options, perfect for late-night studio sessions.
In addition to this, version 9.5 also brings VST 2.4 plugin support and delay compensation.
Also, don't forget to visit the Propellerhead web site at www.propellerheads.se and read up on all the new
Rack Extension instruments and effects created by ourselves and others that you can add to your rack.
Yours truly,
The Propellerhead Team
