    • Reason instantly toggled the automated button off in some cases

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

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.
