How about controlling the synth filter with your drum loop, or panning a channel using the LFO from one of the devices! All configurations are of course stored with the song, so even elaborate routings will be easy to reproduce.
And best of all, total recall. So no need to worry about remembering cable routings, patch settings and fader automation. Reason does it all for you.
With more than 500Mb of sounds, loops & samples created by a team of professional sound designers, Reason provide a great starting point for any composition. And for musicians looking to share their work on the web, the “Publish song” feature makes download and transfer of song data efficient and fast. This includes facilities for omitting sounds already available to other users (such as the factory sound bank) and compression of other audio samples by over 50%.
A sound bank database is also included to keep track of user, factory and third party sound libraries available. The database can work on a network, making it easy for users with multiple stations to seamlessly transfer material from one station to the other.
Reason can link to most of the major sequencers (Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer) via ReWire, the fast growing industry standard, giving you the complete audio and midi power of your favourite program. This of course also allows you to continue working within the environment you are most familiar with and still have the sound power of Reason. Reason is the final word on software synthesis -proving at last that software can sound harder than hardware.
