We’ve implemented a limited crash protection system for VSTs that means we attempt to detect crashes in the VST and prevent the plugin from crashing Reason. What about stability? Will Reason be less stable now? The adjustment is automatic but can also be set manually for each mixer channel. With the delay compensation on, Reason will calculate the total delay in each signal path and adjust the timing of each discrete signal path accordingly, to assure perfectly timed, phase correct playback. Some effects in a signal chain will introduce delay in the timing. This is where you can route audio and CV and open the plugin’s own window. Drag your desired instrument or effect to the rack and it’s there! VST plugins live inside the new plugin host device in the rack.

The VST plugins can then be found among Reason’s own devices and Rack Extensions in the browser. Reason will find any VST plugin that you have installed on your computer. The only difference is that the VST plugins open in a separate window.
#WITH REASON 9.5 UPGRADE PATCH#
Play them with Players, put them in combinators, add Reason effects, patch audio and CV to them – just like you always do in Reason. Sure! In that regard, there is no difference between VSTs and other Reason devices. Any 2.4 compliant instrument or effect plugin (that’s just about every VST out there) will work in Reason.Ĭan I use VSTs with other Reason devices? Reason’s VST implementation is based on VST 2.4. In fact, combining VSTs and Rack Extensions open up fantastic music making possibilities! Having VSTs in the rack will let us focus our development of the Rack Extension platform even more.

Now that Reason has VST support, will you kill the Rack Extension technology?Ībsolutely not! Reason now supports two plugin formats and Rack Extensions will remain a key Reason technology. Propellerhead shared these FAQ’s for Reason 9.5 VST support:

#WITH REASON 9.5 UPGRADE UPDATE#
