Reason Rack Plugin 13

Reason Rack 13 lets you bring Reason Studios iconic modular Rack straight into your favourite DAW as a VST3, AU or AAX plugin. Packed with 66 instruments, effects, utilities and MIDI Player Effects, it gives you a complete sound design playground inside the workflow you already know, so you can create music that sounds unmistakably like you.

Whether you are after modern synth textures, classic drum machines, deep sample manipulation or creative mix processing, Reason Rack 13 has you covered. Simply load the plugin on a track, drag in devices, flip the Rack to patch audio and CV, and build anything from quick inspirational chains to sprawling modular setups. It is fast, fluid and fun, keeping you in the creative zone instead of buried in menus.

At the core of Reason Rack 13 is a curated collection of devices that has been refined since 1994. From flagship synths like Europa and Thor to characterful samplers such as Grain and Mimic, plus dedicated drum tools like Kong and Redrum, you have a full studio of sounds ready to go. Add in powerful audio effects, mastering processors and a huge sound library of more than 30,000 patches, loops and samples, and you can move from idea to finished track without ever leaving the Rack.

Because Reason Rack 13 runs as a plugin, it slots straight into your existing setup. Use it as a single powerhouse instrument, a go to drum machine, a modular effects rack on vocals or guitars, or even as a complete self contained environment inside your DAW. With new tools like Polytone, Ripley Space Delay, Note Tool, Random Tool and more, Reason Rack 13 feels both familiar and fresh, giving long time Reason users and newcomers alike a huge creative boost.
