We're happy to announce the release of Reason 12.5.1. Reason 12.5.1 will also be immediately available in the Reason+ subscription.

Here's what's new in 12.5.1:

 

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Several fixes and improvements for VST3 support. Thank you very much for reporting these!

    • General bug fixes and stability improvements in VST3 hosting

    • Fixed an issue where Waves VST3 shell took a long time to scan on Windows

    • Fixed an issue where Reason 12.5 aborts plugin scanning

    • Better keyboard hotkeys and keyboard focus handling for VST3, now typing text in several plugins works as expected

    • Fixed an issue where you were unable to control functions inside the AcidboxV2 plugin

    • Fixed several issues affecting Arturia plugins

      • Delete and Undo would sometimes result in a weird sound

      • Editing parameters could result in a “laggy” sound

      • Efx Fragments VST3 was mistakenly categorized as Utilities, not Effects

    • FabFilter Pro-Q3's VST3 "solo" button did not work

    • Fixed an issue where Neural DSP Archetype Rabea VST3 could freeze Reason

    • PSP Audioware VST3 meters now meter correctly, as meters should

    • Fixed an issue where Rob Papen VST3s could crash

    • Fixed an issue where S-Gear VST3 would not process audio

    • Fixed an issue where Spectrasonics VST3 Instruments could take minutes to load

  • Fixed several bugs with Automation

    • Automation Override did not reset properly in Blocks view

    • Automation lanes weren't created for on/off toggle buttons on some plugins

    • Reason instantly toggled the automated button off in some cases

  • Fixed an issue where Reason 12.5 was prevented from starting on Windows

  • Fixed an issue where the Template Song window buttons were sometimes not accessible without resizing the window on macOS

  • Fixed a bug where Reason could randomly shut down on Windows

  • Fixed an issue where closing the Reason Rack Plugin window was slow and laggy

IMPORTANT:

Reason 12.5.1 saves Reason songs and Combi patches in an updated format - if the new Combinator widgets have been used. Attempting to open such songs/Combi patches in an older version than Reason 12.2.3 results in an error message that the song/Combi patch cannot be opened because it’s too new.
