"Although this update only adds one thing - Rack Extensions - for this alone it is essential", 9/10.
Reason 6.5 is the new Rack Extension powered version of the worlds favorite music software, Propellerhead Reason.
Rack Extensions expand Reason and let you add whatever your music needs – be it instruments or effects, by Propellerhead or others. Try it, buy it, and download it straight into your rack.
Future Music magazine writes, "Rack Extensions go much further than the rather limited input and output methodologies of existing plug-in systems such as VST, RTAS and AudioUnits, and as such provides a level of integration that none of them can match".
"...it seems that many developers have been keen to get in on the action - Rob Papen, Korg, u-he, FXpansion, Sugar Bytes, Sonic Charge, Softube, AudioRealism, iZotope, Synapse Audio, PEFF. and Audio Damage. What is of particular interest is the way that, although some of these plug-ins are, on the face of it, almost direct ports of their normal plug-in counterparts, in most instances they fully adopt the Reason patching approach, allowing you back-panel access to a much wider range of input/output options."
"Reason as always been a great platform...Rack Extensions have the potential to take it much further".
