Reason 13 receives free update including two new devices, celebrates with up to 60% discount
Stockholm, Sweden – December 16th 2024, Reason Studios today announced the release of Reason 13.1, a free update to the latest version of Reason, Reason 13, that launched earlier this year. The highlights of the 13.1 update are two new Player MIDI effects, custom tags in the new Reason browser and device palette, and continued improvement to the sequencer, including clip and note splitting. To celebrate the launch Reason Studios is also announcing a discount of up to 60% starting December 16th lasting until December 31st.
The first new Player MIDI Effect is Random Tool, which introduces controlled randomness in pitch, velocity, and note length. It is a quick and fun way to create organic variation and spontaneity to any track.
The other new Player MIDI effect is Note Tool. It allows for detailed control over MIDI performances, including adjustments like velocity curve fine-tuning, note transposition, and sustained chords without a pedal—perfect for expressive playing and hands-free tweaking.
Player MIDI effects have become a cornerstone of Reason, following the popularity of devices such as Bassline Generator and Chord Sequencer.
As with all devices in Reason, the devices are also available through Reason Rack Plugin (VST3/AU/AAX) in any DAW.
The new browser, introduced in Reason 13, added categories and tags for the over 30,000 patches in Reason e.g. “Punchy”, “Layered” or “Glitchy”. With Reason 13.1 music makers can add their own tags, on top of the ones already supplied by Reason Studios.
Full list of improvements to the Browser:
On top of custom tags in the browser, the Device Palette in Reason 13.1 has been updated with new customization options. Easily favorite or hide devices, categorize your plugins, and create custom tags for whatever you need, e.g. “Vocal Chain” or “Liquid Drum’n’Bass”.
Reason 13 introduced the largest overhaul of Reason’s sequencer ever. Reason 13.1 continues that improvement, with two small but highly requested features: the sequencer now supports “Chop Clip/Note to” for quickly chopping notes or clips into note values (e.g. 16th notes), and “Split at song position” to quickly split any selected clips where the song position pointer is.
“Reason is about finding your own unique sound and Reason 13 and the 13.1 update continues on that path by adding a slew of new unique devices and making 25 years of sound design easily available. ” says Niklas Agevik, CEO.
To celebrate the launch, an up to 60% discount campaign starts today and lasts until December 31st. New Reason purchases, upgrades from previous Reasons versions, Reason+ Annual subscriptions and several 3rd party Rack Extensions are all eligible for the discount.
