Reason 10.1 is here!

We’re very happy to announce that Reason 10.1 is now available! This free update to Reason 10, Reason 10 Intro and Reason 10 Lite includes some exciting news that I think you’ll really like.

We’re introducing a new version of our Rack Extension SDK, featuring Player devices, improved sample loading with sample zones and pattern automation support. As you read this, a bunch of new Rack Extension Players are now available in the shop—including our own Drum Sequencer. The Drum Sequencer is freely available to all Reason 10 users for the month of May so don’t forget to download it.  Want to see the Drum Player in action? Check out the video below.

We have also added a pretty powerful update to Reason’s flagship synth Europa. You can now load your own samples and wavetables and use as oscillators in the engine. Not only that, you can also use the sample in the Spectral Filter which will then act as the spectral multiplier—a fancy way of saying we create filter curves based on your sample. It’s a really cool feature that we hope will result in a lot of great, new sounds.

I would also like to take this opportunity to inform you that based on your feedback, we have decided there will not be any paid upgrades to Reason this year. So there’s absolutely no need to worry about missing out on new features later this year if you’re thinking about upgrading to Reason 10 now.   Mattias Häggström Gerdt Reason Product Manager
