Focusrite's new Plug-in Collective offer featuring Reason Studios
From 17th September to 18th November, Plug-in Collective members can download Reason Studios’ Reason Rack Plugin Lite for free.
A slimmed-down version of the legendary Reason virtual studio, Reason Rack Plugin Lite lets you run the full Reason Rack as a VST3/AU/AAX plugin in any Mac or PC DAW. The Rack plays host to 19 characterful devices, including the Redrum drum machine, Subtractor and Monotone synths, ID8 ROMpler, Scream4 Distortion, RV7000 Reverb, MClass mastering effects, and Scales & Chords MIDI processor. They can be used individually, or freely combined, connected and routed via Reason’s famous ‘backside’ patching interface to construct elaborate modular hybrids. And support for Rack Extensions means your device list can be bolstered with any of over 700 add-on devices in the Reason Studios Shop at any time.
You can run as many instances of Reason Rack Plugin Lite in a project as your computer can handle, and it can also be deployed as a standalone music production application in its own right, enabling sequencing and editing of up to eight audio and/or MIDI tracks, with full access to the Rack and all its devices.
Whichever way you choose to use it, Reason Rack Plugin Lite makes for a unique and hugely creative synthesis, signal processing and sound design system that’s sure to take your music down new and inspiring avenues.
“This month sees a big collaboration between us and Reason Studios, as we offer up Reason Rack Plugin Lite,” says Plug-in Collective Product Manager, Jonathan Campbell. “This Lite version of Reason 11 comprises a whopping 19 Rack modules, including a number of mixing plug-ins and some of their famous instruments, making this a real heavyweight offer.”
