Sound like you

Reason has everything you need to sound like you. It's a virtual Rack where you wire up instruments and effects to create the sounds you're looking for. You can use it as a plugin or a full-blown DAW with recording, sequencing, mixing, and everything else you’d expect. Fast, fluid, and fun, Reason is all about making music—however you make music.

Browse your way

All patches, samples, and loops are now in one place—the new Browser. Find the perfect sound by filtering on anything from name and folder to categories and tags. Just type what you’re looking for and the browser will give you suggestions, or use the Category and Tag buttons to filter your way to your new sound.

Tag, you’re it!

All content in Reason is now categorized and tagged to let you explore sounds in a whole new way. Patches, samples, devices, and plugins—anything goes. Use the built-in tags or create your own custom tags—finally covering your favorite niche genre. Reason 13 makes it easy to stay organized.

Sequencer upgrade

The sequencer has been split into two. With the new Edit Area it’s easy to get down and dirty with the details in your music without losing your way in the arrangement. Together with several new workflow improvements, improved zooming, layout changes, and easy access to editing features—the upgraded sequencer makes it effortless to make your music sound like you.

It’s got the look

Reason 13 doesn’t just sound good, it also looks good. Together with the sequencer the entire Reason interface has been updated. It might not necessarily improve your music, but it will make it easier to find your way around.

New sounds for your sound

Fall in love with your favorite devices again. In Reason 13 we’ve updated our sound bank library with 1000+ new patches, samples, REX loops, demo songs and song starter templates. Sometimes your own sound starts with one of our sounds.

Polytone Dual-Layer Synthesizer

Polytone is a synth-lovers’ synth. Inspired by our favorite vintage hardware, we designed it to recreate the warm analog sounds you know and love. But it wouldn’t be us if we didn’t tweak the formula for more possibilities. Even better, Polytone has two layers that can be stacked or morphed between for super fat or evolving sounds.

Ripley Space Delay

Ripley combines delay and reverb with unique flavors of filtering, noise, and distortion. Coupled with extensive modulation you can create the delay you want—anything from clean taps or warm analog sounds to crazy lo-fi chirps or washed out ambiences. Everything that adds character and depth to your music.
