Once saved, a Combinator patch can be recalled with all chosen devices loaded instantly and the signal path intact. Combinator even lets you integrate Matrix pattern sequencers and Redrums into the resulting 'Combi' patch. With the new Combinator device, Reason moves back to its performance roots by allowing as many synth, sampler and effects devices as you like to be joined together and to work as one single performance instrument - just like a workstation synth. Many of you may know that, before its original release, Reason was meant to be more of a live performance tool than it turned out to be, and indeed a handful of functions in the program are left over from those plans. In fact, it was largely the call for beta-testers that alerted users to the fact that something might be on the way! Coming Attractions But, as with the last couple of upgrades, Propellerhead have been punting for beta-testers via their web site, so that some of the user base will have a chance to contribute to the final product. There's no definite release date as yet, since the software is still in beta-testing (as I write). It's been buzzing for a while, but the big news this month is the official announcement by Propellerhead of Reason V3. Version 3 of Reason is officially on the way, adding some high-spec new devices and improved operational features. Any device in the Reason rack can be combined, layered and controlled from one handy window.
The new Combinator turns Reason v3 into a super performance synth.
