Propellerhead reason 5 upgrade Reason 5 Upgrade from v1, 2, 3 or 4 retail or academic editions. Includes free upgrade to Record 1.5 for owners of Reason + Record. Introducing the Kong Drum Designer. Load, sculpt, build and tweak your sounds with your choice of drum synthesis, sampling, REX loops, physical modeling and custom-made effect modules for percussion on Kong’s 16 pads. Dr.REX octuples into Dr.OctoRex, a monster of a loop tool. No matter how you use it — as a pattern sequencer for loops, or to completely mangle your REX’ed material – it is guaranteed to inspire. Live sampling is back! In the rack! Re-explore the lost art of sampling. Every sample player becomes a sampler; record with a single click — further tweak with the built-in editor. Take your music beyond the eight bar loop. New Blocks sequencer mode makes song creation fast and flexible. Go from pattern-based arrangements to linear — to patterns again.
