Welcome!
Thank you for choosing Reason!
Whether you're a songwriter, beat maker, recording your band, or just love to make sounds, this is the
beginning of a beautiful friendship. The biggest news in this version are MIDI Out so you can integrate your
external instruments into Reason, audio slicing and quantizing, REX creation from your audio recordings,
mixer groups, parallel channels and the brand new spectrum analyzer and visual EQ. 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.
A driving force for us at Propellerhead is communication with all the people around the world that use our
programs to realize their musical ideas. And a big part of this communication takes place on our own user
forums. This is a unique meeting place where professionals and beginners meet on equal terms to
exchange ideas. But even more importantly, it's a forum open to you. We think you will enjoy talking to
other Reason users all over the world, just as much as we'll enjoy talking to you.
Yours truly,
The Propellerhead Team
