Reason Studios has announced that Reason 11.2 is now available and that the Reason Rack Plugin has been updated with probably the two most requested features Reason users have been asking for: MIDI Out and Drag MIDI Notes to Track.
New devices and functions:
- Beat Map Algorhythmic Drummer Rack Extension (Reason and Reason Suite only): Beat Map Algorhythmic Drummer is a Player that generates drum patterns based on built-in beats, algorithms and simple but powerful controls. It's normally used with a drum instrument such as Kong, Rytmik or Umpf, but can also be used with melodic instruments for interesting results. Simply great for inspiration.
- New MIDI Out Device in Reason Rack Plugin: You can now send MIDI notes and MIDI CC from devices in Reason Rack Plugin to your host DAW. You could also patch up to eight CV signals from Reason Rack Plugin devices and route them as separate MIDI CCs to your host DAW.
- New MIDI Out Device in Reason/Intro/Lite (stand-alone): The MIDI Out Device replaces the External MIDI Instrument device. You can now patch up to eight CV signals and route them as separate MIDI CCs to external MIDI gear.
- Drag MIDI notes from Redrum, Dr Octo Rex and Matrix in Reason Rack Plugin to tracks in your host DAW.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue where automating parameters in the AU version of Reason Rack Plugin did not work as expected.
- Fixed an issue with VST2 plugins using iLok when using Reason under macOS Catalina.
- Fixed an issue that made certain VST2 plugins crash (including SoundToys, Mastering the Mix and Cherry Audio).
- New version of Authorizer with several improvements, including fixing an incompatibility with other software using CodeMeter.
