Reason 3.0
Making music should be as easy as powering up
a computer, loading up a powerful piece of music software, and
getting down to business. And it is. Reason 3.0 is a virtual
studio rack with all the tools and instruments you need to turn
your ideas into music. And it's more than just a set of excellent
synths and effects. It's a complete music system. Step into
the age of Reason..

Reason 3 Features:
As a Reason user, you can forget about the downsides of music
production. Forget malfunctioning modules and confusing connections.
Reason's cables don't tangle. Forget about tiny backlit displays
and steep learning curves. Reason is so direct you'll learn
it in minutes. And forget the tedious process of gathering all
the different disks and sound banks needed to load up a song.
With Reason, picking up where you left off ??? be it last night
or last month ??? is as simple as turning the power on. When
you save your music, your whole studio setup is stored along
with it. You can even include your samples, loops and drum kits
in the Reason file, for easy web publishing or email collaboration
with other Reason users. For once, total recall is truly total.
And so is the sound. The audio quality is everything you would
expect from Propellerhead Software. But pristine sound quality
is only half the story; the instruments and effects in Reason
are loaded with character and attitude. Although easy to learn
and a breeze to use, Reason is an extremely flexible system
that's as complex and advanced as you make it. And with sophisticated
tools such as the MClass mastering suite, or the Combinator,
which lets you build new instruments and effects by combining
and layering Reason devices, Reason will not just impress, but
inspire you.
Each unit in Reason's virtual rack is edited from its own on-screen
front panel. All the sliders, knobs, buttons and functions are
right in front of you, ready to be tweaked, turned and twisted
in absolute real-time. And all your front panel actions ???
filter adjustments, pitch bending, gain riding or panning ???
can be recorded and automated in the Reason sequencer.
A single keypress will turn Reason's rack around, and there
you are, in patch cord heaven. Most audio connections are made
automatically. When a new device is created, it appears immediately
below the currently selected device, and Reason patches it into
the system in the most logical way. Repatch by dragging the
patch cord plug to the desired connector, or just make a pop-up
menu choice. Most devices have one or more parameters controlled
by Gate and/or CV. And all instrument devices have several Gate
or CV output options. Combine this with easy, transparent patching,
and you have connection power approaching that of a fully modular
synth.
