Get ready to make some noise—we’re thrilled to introduce our 808th Sound pack, “Celebrate 808.” This release is more than just a tribute to the legendary drum machine; it’s a celebration of the culture, creativity, and rhythm that the 808 has inspired around the world. But before we dive in, let’s take a moment to recap.
Sound packs are weekly content releases on the Reason+ service, each featuring a curated selection of production-ready Combinator patches that offer high tweakability. They have been an essential part of Reason+ since its launch, helping to inspire creativity with everything from easy-to-use construction kits to deep dives into unique techniques and features. Over the years, more than 30 producers have poured their passion into these packs, enhancing the music-making experience for thousands of Reason users worldwide.
For this milestone release, we wanted to go all out. We asked our talented sound pack creators to craft patches that embody their personal connection to the 808 phenomenon. To make it even more special, we invited our colleagues to contribute as well. This collaboration not only marks the first collective sound pack on Reason+, but also showcases a diversity of styles and perspectives. The result? A kaleidoscope of styles, perspectives, and sonic magic that showcases the universal appeal of the 808.
“Celebrate 808″ is more than a sound pack—it’s a love letter to the enduring legacy of the 808, a machine that changed the game and continues to inspire artists everywhere. We hope it inspires further contributions and keeps the spirit of the 808 alive.
