Reason 4 is far more than a virtual instrument or even a collection of virtual instruments, it is a complete music creation and environment loaded with powerful tools such as synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines.
Reason 4 has all of the effects, signal processors, and complex routing options of a full-fledged DAW and more. From its simplest subtractive synthesizer "Subtractor" to its complex "Thor" modular synthesizer, Reason 4 will inspire you to create the sounds, textures, and sequences you need to express yourself with music. Its analog-style, virtual rack environment is incredibly intuitive, and its flexible routing and automation options are nearly limitless.
