Making music should be as easy as powering up a computer, loading up a powerful piece of music software, and getting down to business. Reason 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.

Synthesizers, drum machine, samplers, mixer, vocoder, REX file loop player, world class effects, professional mastering tools, pattern sequencer and more. As many of each as your computer can handle. Reason is an infinitely expandable music workstation on a CD-ROM, complete with its own realtime sequencer.

You may use Reason as a:

• As a self-contained synth studio system - everything you need is there, including a fast and flexible sequencer with powerful, dedicated event editors for each type of device.
• As a sub-system synchronized to your audio sequencer - process Reason's audio output with plug-in effects and mix it with your hard disk tracks. With Reason in ReWire mode, its instruments are automatically patched into the mixer in any other ReWire compatible application. Seamless integration.
• As a Workstation synth - easily load up complex performance patches - instruments pre-routed through effects - in one single click. Perfect for live gigs and performances.

Here are some key features of "Reason":

• Buttons, knobs, faders and flashing LEDs Reason's interface looks and feels like an instrument.

• In Reason, the sequencer and instruments are designed by the same people. With its total integration, no configuration or connections are needed - they are part of the same package and all the parts work seamlessly with each other.

• You build your rack as you work on your song. Create instruments and effects and route them any way you want to. Add, delete, replace and tweak. Your rack is what you want it to be.

• Flip the rack over to access the backside with all the cables and connectors. Here you can manually route anything to anything, just like in a real studio. Or simply leave it to Reason to automatically connect all your instruments and effects, unlike a real studio.

• Each cable plugs into exactly two holes, just like most real cables do. Only in Reason, you don't even have to crawl around the back side, unless you want to of course.

• If it looks like a button, it is a button. If you see a handle, it's for dragging. All controls in Reason look and feel natural to work with and integrate with your favorite hardware controller.

• What you see is really what you get. Reason offers everything at face value. No hidden screens, sub-menus or windows to flip through. The sequencer collects all notes and automation for each track, clearly laid out and easy to work with.

• Easy to get started with and as deep as you want it to be. Many devices have macro controls for ease of use. If you want, open them up and explore and tweak all its components within.

Limitations:

• Demo mode allows you to record and save your songs
• Will not open any files other than demo songs
