Steinberg announces Reason, a set of software synthesizers developed by Propellerheads, that can equal and surpass the power of dedicated hardware instruments. In addition, Reason is an infinitely expandable MIDI studio, complete with its own realtime sequencer.
Reason features total recall.
The entire studio setup is stored along with the music. Actual samples, loops and drumkits can be included in the file, allowing for easy web publishing or email distribution to other Reason users. But more importantly, the instruments and effects offered by Reason emphasize character and attitude. Each unit in Reason's virtual rack is edited from its own on-screen front panel. All the sliders, knobs, buttons and functions of the equivalent hardware are there.
