We're happy to announce an update of Reason 12 Early Access in the Reason+ subscription! This update features the brand new Mimic Creative Sampler, updated graphics for the ReGroove Mixer - plus a number of bug fixes and improvements.
Mimic Creative Sampler
The Mimic Creative Sampler is a powerful yet very straight-forward sampler, tailor-made for quick and easy triggering, chopping and manipulation of samples. It features eight sample slots, where each slot can hold one sample. Each slot also has its own complete synth parameters setup, with pitch controls, filter, envelopes, LFO and effects.
You could either load a sample from your computer or sample straight into Mimic (Reason stand-alone only). You can then select various sample playback modes and high-quality stretch algorithms to manipulate and process the audio. You could also use Mimic as a traditional sampler and just play back samples in a regular “tape-style” fashion.
Mimic also features a great-sounding “lo-fi style” multi-effect to spice up your sounds even more.
