Reason 5 + Record 1.5
Well, the “5 Days of Reason 5″ is over. I think one of the more exciting announcements is one that they have not highlighted:
Reason 5 and Record 1.5 lets you use multiple MIDI keyboards, pads, and controllers for playing and recording your instruments. Lock a 16-pad controller to a Kong, and use a keyboard to play your synths. Or use two keyboards on stage for controlling different Reason instruments.
Record Notes on Multiple Tracks - Reason 5 and Record 1.5 lets you use multiple MIDI keyboards, pads, and controllers for playing and recording your instruments. Lock a 16-pad controller to a Kong, and use a keyboard to play your synths. Or use two keyboards on stage for controlling different Reason instruments.
A friend of mine has been jonesin’ for this for years.
Below are the movies they posted for each highlighted feature.?(I’ll list the other “less celebrated” changes after the movies.)?’Course the truly interesting deal with all of these is this: Given all of the connections possible betwixt and between the Reason modules, what really weird and wonderful stuff can you do patching this stuff together in unexpected ways?
Dr. OctoRex – This is one of the cooler additions in my book.

Blocks – This is extremely cool. On the surface, it seems a bit “Ableton-esque”, but it is probably closer in concept to Cubase’s Arranger mode or DP’s Song mode (or going further back, sequences and subsequences from Opcode’s venerable StudioVision). This however, looks to be a lot easier to deal with.
