MAJOR UPDATE

Huge sound banks with more than 29000 device patches, loops and samples

Mimic Creative Sampler

The art of sampling has drastically evolved over the years. As a result of early attempts to capture real instruments to today’s unrecognizably twisted sonic textures and hooks, samplers have evolved right along with producers’ needs. Mimic is the latest sampler instrument to land in Reason 12 DAW Software and approaches sampling from that decidedly modern hyper-creative aesthetic.

And not to mention with four different sample modes to explore creatively, Mimic turns every audio file you’ve got into a potential sound to explore and a new musical idea to discover.

In Pitch mode, a sample loaded into Mimic is spread across the keyboard and pitched accordingly. Slice mode also automatically chops a sample up, placing each slice on your keyboard for easy juggling and flipping. MultiSlot and Multi-Pitch modes also make use of Mimic’s up to eight sample slots to create your own multi-sampled instrument.

Furthermore, the front panel of Mimic Creative Sampler lays out quick access to the most common and powerful methods of sample manipulation. Time-stretching sampled audio borrows from Reason’s legendary stretch algorithm and adds new granular and tape modes too. Shape samples using Mimic’s onboard filters, colouration effects, compressor, and EQ.

And with a Reason+ subscription, now every audio preview in every sound pack just became a new sample for you to load into Mimic.

Mimic Creative Sampler Features

  • Four sample playback modes –Pitch, Slice, MultiSlot, & Multi-Pitch
  • Automatic transient slice detection chops samples for you
  • Up to eight sample slots to load your own custom audio samples
  • Unique sound colouring effects and filters
  • Advanced audio time stretch
  • LFO and envelope modulation routing

Combinator

Reasons instruments sound amazing when solo on their own but they take on a whole other dimension when combined with other instruments and effects in the Reason Rack for massively complex-sounding patches. And when it comes to containing these creations into a singular preset that can be saved and shared with others, the Combinator is the tool for the job.

Combinators allow you to put multiple Rack devices into self-contained presets that are found all throughout Reason’s soundbank and in new Reason+ sound packs every week. As a result, Reason 12 DAW Software introduces an all-new and mightily updated Combinator that will take your presets, and your music, to a whole new level.

So you can use the Combinator’s Editor to design your own front panels – adding knobs, faders, control wheels, and buttons to build your own Rack device interface powered by Reason’s synths and effects inside. Easily map parameters inside the Combinator to control your custom layout, even controlling several devices at once with one simple control. You can also add your own background images to give your Combinators a personalized look.

Even if you don’t plan to build your own Combinators from scratch or consider yourself more of a beatmaker than a sound-designer, you’ll still be able to use all the new Combinators that are heading your way – with over 100 new and a thousand updated Combinator patches in Reason 12, new Reason+ sound packs coming every week, and the boundless creativity of the Reason community that’s sure to amaze us all.

Combinator Features

  • Combine Rack devices inside to build advanced signal chains
  • Create custom front panel layouts with knobs, buttons, faders
  • Easily assign device parameters to combinator controls and multi-parameter macros too
  • Advanced control programming to define parameter ranges

Powerful Virtual Studio

Above all, the Reason software is a powerful virtual studio for fast and creative music production. While unique among DAWs, Reason’s logical workflow and highly responsive graphical interface emulate a real recording studio with racks full of great gear. Easy to follow whether you’re an experienced engineer or just getting into music production. With easy, comprehensive sequencing and also effortless audio recording on unlimited tracks. Therefore, you can create beats; so build your Reason Rack with VST plug-ins, Rack Extensions, and amazing built-in instruments, FX, and utilities (19 premium instruments, 29 audio effects, and MIDI FX and utilities); and also mix down on Reason’s legendary modelled large-format console.

Overall, the Reason 12 DAW software is a fantastic upgrade to their widely popular music production software.
