New in Reason 13
Your sound, faster. With an upgraded sequencer, a brand new browser, a redesigned interface, five new devices, and more sounds—Reason 13 is all about your workflow.
Check out what’s new in Reason 13.
Here’s what’s new in Reason 13:
- Reason’s sequencer and interface have been redesigned for a faster workflow and navigation. From the new Edit Area to improved zooming and workflow features, making music in Reason is now faster than ever.
- All patches, samples, and loops are now found in one place—the new Browser. Categories and tags make it quick to explore over 20 years of sound design along and over 1000 new patches, samples, and loops.
- Reason 13 also comes with five new Rack devices.
- Polytone Dual-Layer Synthesizer is a new synth inspired by the immediacy of hardware classics but with a Reason twist. Great for thick analog sounds and instantly playable patches.
- Ripley Space Delay combines a delay and reverb with unique sound shaping and deep modulation —it’s a delay with character.
- Finally, the three new Tool devices make common tasks in the Rack easier than ever: sidechaining, stereo widening, and gain staging and panning.
“We are thrilled to introduce Reason 13 to the world,” says Mattias Häggström Gerdt, Product Manager at Reason Studios. “Our goal with this upgrade was to improve Reason’s unique music making workflow. Whether it’s your main DAW or go-to plugin, Reason 13 adds a ton of features—all designed to get you to your sound faster.”
