Introducing Reason's Devices

At this point you have configured your computer to run Reason, and you've seen what Reason can do with the playback of a demo song. Furthermore, I briefly covered adding devices and how to arrange and route audio. In the next chapter, you'll get a closer look at the devices included in Reason 2.5. Reason includes a list of over 20 devicesa very impressive list at that (see Table 2.1).

To acquire an equivalent amount of hardware gear, you would spend a fortune . And what is even more impressive is that you can load multiple instances of each device. With Reason, it's as easy as simply adding another one to your rack! With Reason, your creativity is limited only by the power of your computer and the depth of your imagination .

To make navigating through the device section of this book as easy as possible, I have categorized the devices into five separate chapters as shown in Table 2.1.
