![]() I have been meaning to do some videos of my own demonstrating Reason used in conjunction with Eurorack. But very rarely Reason, even though it’s been capable of this forever!Īnyway, here’s the video from Peff from (uploaded June, 2009) demonstrating some of these ideas. ![]() but it rarely gets a mention! I hear a lot more about (for example) Live’s CV Tools, similar in Bitwig and VCV used in this capacity. With this setup the integration between Reason and Eurorack is phenomenally powerful ……. I finally realised this idea a few years ago utilising an Expert Sleepers Eurorack module, an ADAT capable audio interface and some indispensable RE’s from RoboticBean, namely his CV-I/O bundle. These days there are a lot more options to achieve this kind of set-up. I was blown away by this when I first saw it and wanted to try it ever since. In the video (see below) he is using Reason 4.0 to control his Oberheim SEM analogue synth via a DC coupled MOTU interface. I first saw this demonstrated by Peff around 12 years ago. It’s definitely the original virtual modular software environment.Īnother aspect of Reason, which is think is criminally overlooked and undersold, is its potential when directly integrated with Eurorack and indeed other synth hardware. But Reason pre-dates everything out there in software but quite a number of years. These days software like VCV Rack, Softube Modular, Reaktor Blocks, Cherry Audio Voltage Modular (there are quite a few out there now) are more direct comparisons to Eurorack. There’s an obvious comparison due to Reason’s virtual cabling technology, which of course we’ve had from day 1. Reason is just the most complicatedly simple program. ![]() Use the rack to build synths, sequencer to play the synths/automation, and use the mixer for send/return FX and other mixing purposes. Reason is the only environment that is welcoming to a new comer everything is well thought out and it all makes sense. FL studio is 2nd place for stock synths (also has some really nice Fx as well) you can route Gate and Note CV to have one synth control others, you can have audio split between synths.Īll of the key elements of what makes modular environments modular.Īlso, reason is my favorite because it has the best stock synths/effects imo.Ībleton has a way better selection of stock effects, but i can't find any better stock synths. Its not limited to just modulation signals. but the idea of modular (everything speaks with everything else), this is why i think of it as an actual modular DAW. ![]() maybe not 100000000% spot on with a eurorack system. but either way, reason is definitely the most user friendly for beginners.Īs for the modular side of it all, id actually say yes. Some of the newer synths stray from the realism of the older synths. The cool thing about reason is that it is an actual studio and everything looks like actual equipment. I was going to get logic, but i didn't want a macĪbleton seemed like a terrible place for learning synths/effects/sequencers Thats one of the smaller reasons as to why i stuck with reason over logic or ableton. Instead, they all seem content to make DAWs that mostly look and feel like computer programs rather than environments to create music. No other DAW developer has felt the need to emulate the look and feel of a modular hardware interface. Yeah, VCV Rack is essentially a Eurorack emulator, but Reason is the closest you can get to a modular hardware setup in DAW form. And around 2.0 they will release a VST plugin version! I would argue that VCV Rack is the closest thing we have to Eurorack in software.
