I’ve received a number of comments over the months regarding the confusing patch names for Vintage RDK, and so I’ve updated the refill with a new set located in the subdirectory “Vintage RDK Combis Named”. The original patch set is also included for those who prefer the original naming system.
Once again, these patches require […]

I caught the last evening of the Propellerheads North America Tour at the Apple Store in San Jose. It was nice to meet up with Hayden again and see his presentation. Apple Stores are normally outfitted with a presentation area with a large projector and sound system, making these locations an ideal place […]

The final version of the Vintage RDK combi Refill is now available on the Propellerhead Software website. There were a few bugs in the Release Candidates which were fixed and a selection of over 40 REX Loops have been included in the archive.
Originally I planned to do a separate REX Loop only archive, but […]

The Props have released Reason Drum Kits version 2.0, a refill sample library for Reason 3.0. For those who are not aware of what RDK is or does, it’s basically a massive sampled drum kit library with many velocity layers for dramatic and lively rhythm sequencing. These are not loops, they are straight […]

Hayden Bursk Last night i caught the Reason 3.0 US tour at the Guitar Center in San Francisco where i had a chance to meet with Timothy Self (Propellerhead Director of US Markets) and Hayden Bursk, Propellerhead Reason Product Specialist with Line 6, who is touring the states and spreading the gospel of Reason. Hayden […]

Well, I learned about the interesting musical history of New Orleans, LA through my research for the ReBirth Museum, a new website from the Props dedicated to my old friend, the RB-338. For the last couple of months, I’ve been putting together the site content. Obviously, I went a little overboard in the research department, […]

Saturday afternoon, i headed over to Robotspeak in San Francisco where GW Childs and I presented a Reason 3.0 Clinic. Unfortunately, Robotspeak did not receive copies of Reason 3.0, so in order to give the presentation I had to install a beta test copy. GW and I were pleasantly surprised to see the place fill […]

Friday night, a group of Reason users from the SF Bay Area got together to meet up for the first time. The evening was organized by Ed (EditED4TV), and a group of 10 of us met up for dinner in downtown Walnut Creek. It was pretty cool to hang out and talk Reason and finally […]

Reason 3.0 is officially released! After several months since the announcement, it’s finally available. Yes, go order it now! If you already have R3.0, I’ve started adding a few small files for R3 on my reason page.
Definitely check out the Combi patches. A lot of us put a lot of time in on these and […]

Some old time Propellerhead Software users might recall a survey conducted on the props site a many months ago. Researchers from the Copenhagen Business School were gathering data on the interaction between users and a company, namely the Propellerheads and the rest of us. They sent me a final draft of the research paper that […]

Power Tools for Reason:: The book is now available from Propellerhead Software’s webstore. Those who purchase a copy of Reason directly from the company shop will have the option of getting a copy of the book for free as well. However, if you’re completely new to Reason, I highly recommend choosing Reason 2.5 Ignite, and […]

Reason:: The New Electro Mechanical Refill from Propellerhead Software is out. This is a sweet selection of Rhodes EPs, Wurly EPs, Clavinet, and Hammond Samples. The samples are fantastic. The 11 velocity layer Rhodes Mark I is really outstanding. It’s a free download for registered Reason 2.5 users at the Prop’s Website.
ReFill:: The first of […]
