The Reason Electric Bass ReFill is the latest in line of Propellerheads “hypersampled” instruments. It features eight electric bass emulations complete with bass rigs.

From the Propellerhead press release

Each bass guitar was recorded through multiple amps, DI-boxes and microphones, meaning that you can select the signal chain and treatment that suits your productions.

More than just reproducing individual notes, the Reason Electric Bass ReFill also contains the fret noise, glissandos, ghost notes and more that makes the bass playing really come to life.

Reason Electric Bass will be available from the Prop Shop and from retailers world wide on May 28th. The price is USD129 / EUR120. Don’t ask me how they came up with that balance. If you’re european, try paying with USD.

Propellerhead Software announce the release of signature patches from some of the world’s leading artists and sound developers for Reason 4’s (previous post) new Thor polysonic synth—from Richard Devine to Daniel Wang.

Thor takes sound creation to a new level, offering a veritable “museum” of synthesis techniques wrapped into one instrument. With six open “slots,” Thor brings together six different oscillators with four different filter types plus wave shaping, enveloping and effects. Thor facilitates a plethora of modulation routings enabling users to exchange audio and control signals just like original modular synths. The result is a fantastic, full-sounding software instrument that is extremely light on CPU usage. Thor Polysonic Synthesizer is a part of the new Reason 4 stand-alone music production system for Mac and PC platforms, and will be available later this year.

This is not a new video but I saw it on another blog this morning, Barbarism Begins At Home. I know I’ve seen it on YouTube before… I think it’s from NAMM.

I’m no huge fan of Reason, I have used it some in the past and haven’t even bothered installing it on my newest computers. I understand it’s powers and all that, I have just never really felt like I needed it. However, even I have got to admit that this upcoming version of Reason 4 looks pretty cool. Seems like they have done a lot of work with this one.
