Propellerhead Software Reason 9 - Music Production Software (French Student/Teacher Edition)

• Player Device
  • Scales & Chords: transposes incoming notes to fit a set scale, or transposes notes and generates chords that fit the desired scale. Scales & Chords has a number of built-in preset scales, and you can also create your own custom scales
  • Note Echo: Simulates a MIDI delay effect, by adding repeats of the incoming MIDI notes. The Note Echo device is polyphonic, so you can get repeats of entire chords. Each repeat of the echo can be pitch allowing for the creation of glissandi and other pitch effects.
  • Dual Arpeggio: The Dual Arpeggio device accepts one or several notes as input and generates rhythmic patterns based on these notes. You can use it as a traditional “monophonic” arpeggiator, where arpeggio lines are played back one note at a time, based on the notes you play/hold on the MIDI control keyboard, or use it in Pattern Mode, where you can create polyphonic (up to 4 notes) rhythmic patterns, depending on how many notes you play/hold on your MIDI Control Keyboard
• Pitch Edit: Correct and/or transpose the pitches of individual detected notes in monophonic recordings. Pitch Edit mode is developed especially for editing and correcting the pitches of vocal recordings. The audio pitch editing is made graphically in a way similar to other pitch correction/editing software on the market
• Workflow Enhancements
  • Bounce in Place: Lets you bounce the sound generated from playing back note or audio clips, with any insert effects and channel strip coloration, but without Send FX and Master Section settings, to a new audio clip on a new audio track
  • Reverse MIDI and Automation: Reverse note (and automation) clips and events, i.e. play the events of the clip “backwards” (from the end to the start)
  • Split Notes with Razor Tool: Split (slice) one or several notes in an open note clip
  • Themes: Choose from Default, Blue, or Dark visual themes, which determine how the user interface is visually presented
  • Audio to MIDI: Sing your melodies, hum your bass lines. Monophonic audio clips can now be exported to MIDI with a single click 
• Updated Sound Bank: Over 5,000 instrument patches, 1,000+ mixing/mastering effects, and over 3,000 loops

• Browser and search window provides access from the main and rack windows, offering instant accessibility to instruments, effects, presets, loops, and samples

• Software automatically slices audio files into single notes or hits, to quantize them, tweak timing, or to drastically change the recording using time stretch – the sliced audio can also be converted to REX files for playback and further treatment in Reason's Dr. Octo Rex Loop Player, Reason's samplers, or the Kong Drum Designer
• Mixing controls like level and pan are now available in the rack, not just the mixer, meaning less jumping around within the program
• Audiomatic Retro Transformer for retro sound effects – select one of the sixteen snapshots including VHS, vinyl, gadget or even MP3, and then tweak with the Transform Control
