Fast Guide to Propellerhead Reason Updated for Reason 2.5
 February 7, 2005
PC Publishing has released the second edition of the Fast Guide to Propellerhead Reason, updated to cover the new features found in Reason 2.5.
This in-depth guide
takes you through every separate Reason
device, including the analog-style SubTractor
synth, the Malstrom Graintrable synth,
the two easy-to-use sample players, the funky
Dr. rex loop player, the vintage-style ReDrum
drum computer and the quick and simple
sequencer. In addition, all the devices and
changes introduced with the V2.5 update are
covered, including the RV7000
stereo reverb, the
BV512 vocoder, and the Scream
4 distortion unit.
Every control and function is explained in the
kind of language you can understand, with
insights as to practical and off-the-wall
uses of devices along the way.
Walk-throughs of both standard and
more exotic techniques are introduced at the
points where you will find them most useful, and
step-by-step programming tutorials help you
increase your hands-on skills with Reason, as
well as creating unusual and
effects that will speed the creation of your music
and enhance its appeal. The book is also packed
with handy hints and tips.
