Furhter Information on Propellerheads Reason 2.5 and
Reason's NN-XT sampler:
Reason Detachable Sequencer
Reason's main sequencer can now be pulled out of the rack where Reason
Refills are loaded and placed anywhere on the screen.
Great things come to those who wait; In Reason, the main sequencer
breaks free from the rack and starts a life of its own, in a separate,
detachable sequencer window. All you need to do is pull it out of
the rack and it will expand across your computer screen. Now you're
free to move it around and customize it or resize it as you desire.
If you're blessed with two monitors, just drag the sequencer to your
extra monitor, and enjoy the benefits of having a virtual studio on
one screen, and a lightning fast sequencer on the other. For your
convenience, they have expanded the sequencer toolbar and added some
new tools. This is to make your work with this already super-fast
sequencer even faster: The Zoom tool takes care of your in and out
zooming, the Line tool is for fast, accurate linear editing of automation
and velocity, and the Eraser is for quick deletion of unwanted objects.
Reason NN-XT Advanced Sampler
Reason ships with a new sampler screwed into the rack. Propellarhead
calls it the NN-XT, NN-XT's patches are delicious additions for Reason
Refills. This is a highly advanced sampler with an impressive
list of features and functions squeezed into it. Where Reason's NN-19
is a "fast-track" sampler, this machine is for more demanding
sampling tasks. Reason's NN-XT is bursting with detailed programming
options, but comes with an intuitive user interface, making it the
perfect tool for both sound design and life-like instrument emulation.
Just load up one of the included orchestral library patches, and you'll
know what we're talking about.
Reason's NN-XT is packed with useful features to help you build your
own stunningly realistic instrument patches: alternate sample playback,
auto-pitch detection, zones with individual parameters, and much more.
But don't think for a minute that instrument emulation is all this
thing is good for - the filters, the envelopes, and the tempo syncable
LFOs let you perform some crazy tricks on whatever material you put
in there.
All in all, Reason's NN-XT is probably one of the most flexible samplers
around, and when we say probably, we mean definitely. With the editor
folded in, only the most useful parameters are visible, for instant
tweaking and automation.
All the power of hardware, but without the hassle. Forget tripping
on cables. Reason doesn't need dusting. Picking up where you left
off is as simple as turning the power on. When you save your work,
your whole studio setup is stored along with your music. You can even
include actual samples, loops, and drum kits in the file, for easy
web publishing or email distribution to other Reason users. For once,
total recall is truly total.
Reason performs. On a modest computer, the number of devices
and effects you can use simultaneously will be limited, but Reason
will still run happily on most contemporary setups. At the other end
of the scale: a PIII PC or a G3 or G4 Mac and a high-quality soundcard
with ASIO drivers will give you a monster rack, pro quality audio,
and a latency equal to hardware.
