Diagram of a Complete Virtual Studio
Reason 1.0
The CPU of a modern day desktop PC is capable of running
rings around the processors in traditional MIDI gear, making it possible to bypass the limitations of the
MIDI spec altogether through software emulation of hardware functions. Reason is a software package that emulates not only synthesizers, but samplers, effects units and more.
After checking out this excellent package, I'm thinking of selling off
a large chunk of my MIDI gear - I don't really need most
of it now that the functionality within Reason duplicates so much of the
things that my hardware can do, with an ease of use factor that's
awfully hard to beat.
Reason is a complete software emulation of an electronic
music project studio, including synths, sample players, mixers and lots of effects.
