![]() Then you can process all of your VSTs using Reason’s effects and utilities. Even the very words ‘Battery meeting Kong’ conjure up images of some kind of music technology-based Roland Emmerich film – this is huge stuff! We all know some of the best meetings offer the best outcomes – think Lennon and McCartney, Bowie and Eno, Alien and Predator – but now we are talking Thor meeting Absynth and Kontakt meeting Rack Extensions. But that is not the end of the story as it’s the meeting of the mighty VST world – some 7,000 instruments and effects have been tested so far – with the sleek Reason world that is the real story here. ![]() Yep, simple: VST instruments in Reason 9.5 work. These replacements should load automatically in future songs so you won’t have to go through the process each time.Īnd so to the VST is themselves and ‘drum roll’… However, once you click on the VST instrument to open it up fully, you get a Screenshot option at the top.Ĭlick it, and the smaller Browser graphic is replaced by a proper graphic of the VST (eventually – sometimes it takes a short time) while the same graphic replaces the default VST graphic in the device’s VST window (see screenshots top right). Only when you click on the VST Plugin area to the right does the actual instrument appear. When dragged to the Rack they load up as standard looking Rack instruments at first and every VST instrument looks identical bar its name. The VST is are shown as small icons with defaults VST logos in the Reason Browser. Drag them into your Reason Rack as you would any other device and you are up and running. They are in alphabetical order (by company name) beneath the Reason devices and Rack Extensions. When you boot up Reason, the instruments appear as regular Browser items. Mine is huge as my drive is full of test software but, even so, it took less than a couple of minutes to process and only rejected a couple of instruments that have also previously troubled other DAWs. Boot 9.5 up for the first time then and it scans for VSTs and quickly implements your collection. ![]() Version 9.5 is free to Reason 9 users and it’s a 200MB download to update. It wanted to shift its software on its own merits and Thor has always been regarded as one of the best synths out there and with the rest of the great instruments – Malström, Kong et al – why would anyone need anything else? So for a long time Propellerhead sat back.īut now we get version 9.5 and guess what? Yes, it has support for VST instruments, which is potentially the most exciting news in music technology (this month anyway) as for the first time you can use you favourite synths and plug-ins in one of the best environments for music making: the sleek and supercool DAW that is Reason. Propellerhead has always held off from allowing third parties into Reason via the VST plug-in format. Those people, though, they just don’t shut up… ![]() Then those damn people wanted third party plug-ins so the Props did it in their own Rack Extension way and some great third party add-ons were born. Propellerhead listened, it always does, and eventually added the audio that people were screaming for albeit over a couple of separate updates.
