The Combinator

The Combinator is a sophisticated device that allows you to build elaborate chains of Reason units - instruments, samplers, effects, pattern sequencers, you name it - and save the entire setup as a single patch. 

 

NN-XT Advances Sampler

This is a highly advanced sampler with an impressive list of features and functions squeezed into it. The NN-XT is the perfect tool for life-like instrument samples like drums, piano, strings, and vintage keyboards. Just load up one of the included orchestral library patches, and you'll know what we're talking about 

 

Graintable Synthesizer

Malström is not your everyday synthesizer. It doesn't act like one and it sure doesn't sound like one. This is the missing link between rocket science and music technology. You'll just have to hear it to believe it. 

 

Subtractor

Polyphonic Synthesizer

Subtractor is an analog type polyphonic synthesizer based on subtractive synthesis, the method used in analog synthesizers. 

 

ReDrum

Drum Machine

ReDrum is a drum machine with a built in pattern sequencer. It has ten channels that play samples loaded by the user or sounds from a preset drum kit. In addition to the pattern sequencer, ReDrum can also be played from Reason's main sequencer or via MIDI.

 

A powerful arpeggiator with multiple play modes, pattern function and much more.

 

ReGroove Mixer

ReGroove mixing is a way to work creatively with grooves, timing and feel in real time. Hands-on access to 32 channels of groove parameters will make this an essential tool for any musician who is serious about their beats programming. 

 

Dr. Rex Loop Player

The Dr-Rex Loop Player is a truly unique machine and will probably be one of your favorites in the Reason rack. It plays loops in the popular REX format (invented by Propellerhead) and it's design enables some truly new and innovative ways to use ReCycled loops. 

 

NN-19 Sampler

The NN19 is a sampler, capable of loading and playing any wav or aiff audio file. But because of NN19's integration in to Reason, its possible to do stuff with this sampler, never done with any other sampler 

 

Matrix

Pattern Sequencer

If you are into 70's style modular synths or if you simply like to play around with an analog style sequencer that can control virtually anything in the rack, the Matrix is for you. 

 

Spider Audio & Spider CV

If you ever feel the need to merge or split some Audio or CV signals, these two eight-legged utilities are perfect for the job. 

 

Line Mixer 6:2

The line Mixer 6:2 is a simple but effective 6-channel stereo line mixer.

 

 

EFFECTS

 

MClass Mastering Suite

Want big, tight, loud sounding tracks? Need extra stereo width, increased clarity, punchier bass? Say hello to MClass, the new mastering suite in Reason 3.0. MClass brings you four separate pro level mastering units designed to add power, presence and an overall professional feel to your Reason mixes. 

 

RV7000 Advanced Reverb

Do you crave sophistication in reverberation? Look no further than the RV7000, the most expensive sounding reverb unit ever to hit the software world.

 

BV512 Digital Vocoder

Besides being a 4 to 512-band vocoder capable of modulating sound in both old-school analog style and digital FFT fashion, this unit also doubles as a fully automated equalizer with a twist. The BV-512 can be used for everything from classic robot vocals to weird harmonic effects. 

 

Scream 4

Sound Destruction Unit

Imagine having all your favorite distortion pedals and overdrive boxes transformed into one shiny, rackmounted Reason device. 

 

UN-16 Unison

Unison is exactly what the name suggests; a software reincarnation of that mysterious "Unison" button on those early eighties synths.
