Reason’s flagship Combinator now allows you to combine effects and instruments however you like, plus you can include Combinators inside one another to create amazing sounds.

Virtual studio rack

At the heart of Reason is a virtual rack where you craft the sounds your music needs, from scratch or from Reason’s huge library of sounds. Synthesizers, instruments and effects –as many as you need. Reason covers every need from synthetic and electronic to acoustic and organic. 

Add an instrument into the rack and start playing in seconds. Add an effect under it and the components of your rack are automatically connected and routed for you. If you want to shape your own sound, you can dive deeper into Reason’s Combinator and save your own creations. You can even customise the look of your devices choosing which knobs to display and where. 

Reason’s rack easily turns into a modular if you just flip it: you can control and change all the routings and customise them.

Reason as a plugin

If you already have a DAW, Reason works as a plugin in VST3, AU and AAX format. You can use the virtual rack on its own or combine it with other plugins to achieve a real music production powerhouse. 

Reason Players also allows you to add effects to MIDI notes or generate melodies, drum patterns and chords. You can set it up on any instrument plugin you own and exponentially expand its potential!

Finally, Reason can be an amazing tool to give your mix the final polish. The Channel EQ, Channel Dynamics and Master Bus Compressor have been modeled on the SSL 9000k to faithfully recreate that studio sound.

Extending your rack

When you're looking for even more creative options, plugins come to the rescue. You can expand your virtual rack with new, inspiring instruments and effects created by developers around the world—from modern effects to vintage instruments. Rack Extension plugins are full rack citizens, giving you a fully integrated experience. Or use industry standard VST plugins right in your Reason rack.

Reason as a standalone software

Reason can be used as a standalone software too. Alongside the virtual rack, you’ll find a sequencer and mixer, to bring ideas to life from initial sketches to finished songs.
