Propellerhead Releases Reason 9 Music Production Software

Propellerhead Software announces that Reason 9 software is now available for purchase.

Reason 9 builds on the Reason platform by introducing a host of new devices, sounds and creative tools that inspire music makers to create more and better music from initial concept to a polished song.

“We’ve seen unprecedented interest in Reason 9 since the beta launched last month, with over 70,000 viewers tuning in to watch our Facebook live stream events,” said Mattias Häggström Gerdt, Propellerhead Product Marketing manager. “Now we’re excited to make this latest version available to everyone. With new Player devices, new sounds, Pitch Edit, numerous workflow enhancements, and the addition of our popular Pulsar dual-channel LFO synth, Reason 9 is the best version yet for taking musical ideas from inspiration to completion.”

Reason 9 introduces three Player devices that transform any MIDI input into music. Note echo creates rhythmic, pitched MIDI delays for melodies, drum rolls and more. Scales & chords turns simple melodies into beautiful harmonies and chords so you can stay focused on the music making. Transpose notes to a selected scale and automatically generate chords for your song, no music theory required. Dual arpeggio transforms chords into intricate rhythms. From classic up-and-down to polyphonic and polyrhythmic.

Reason’s new pitch edit mode helps you produce vocals. Fix out-of-tune notes, adjust vibrato, change your timing, create new melodies from your recording, change the dynamics, and more. Audio to MIDI lets you convert your vocals to MIDI notes.

Reason 9 also comes with 1000 new sounds to ignite your creativity. The Reason rack is also enhanced with key workflow improvements and darker theme options, perfect for late-night studio sessions.

Reason 9 also now includes the Pulsar dual channel LFO – previously available as a Rack Extension ($49) via the Propellerhead shop. Use Pulsar to introduce variation to your sounds, create entirely new ones using its advanced modulation, or load up any of the presets.
