Reason 6.5 Released (Free Update For Reason 6 Owners)!

Propellerhead has released Reason 6.5 and Reason Essentials 1.5, an update which introduces the long awaited expandability (aka Rack Extensions) to this fantastic virtual studio.

Propellerhead today released new versions of their award-winning music making platform: Reason 6.5 and Reason Essentials 1.5. New in these versions is the introduction of Rack Extensions—a groundbreaking new technology from Propellerhead that opens up the rack to third parties, enabling developers to create their own instruments and effects for Reason and allowing users to expand their collection of instruments and effects with the Reason devices they want.

Reason 6.5 and Reason Essentials 1.5 are available as a free download to all current Reason 6 / Reason Essentials 1 owners via Propellerhead. The new pricing details are available here (if you own an older version of Reason, check out the available upgrade paths).

Propellerhead has also launched Propellerhead Shop, a place to purchase Rack Extensions from various developers:

Propellerhead has also opened the doors to the Propellerhead Shop—the central location for all Rack Extensions. All Rack Extensions are full Reason rack citizens, delivering the same ease of use and total integration as all other devices in the rack, including automation, unlimited undo and cables on the back as well as integration with Reason’s patch browser.
