“Get you to your sound faster”: The 'workflow-focused' Reason 13 is here, and there are new synth and ‘space delay’ devices, too

Reason Studios has resisted the temptation to succumb to numerical superstition and released Reason 13, the latest version of its DAW and plugin. From a redesigned sequencer and interface to five new Rack Devices, the software appears to be full of improvements and, having previously been available as a public beta, is now fully finished.

The release comes a little under three years after the drop of Reason 12, and one of the most obvious ways that the software's workflow has been speeded up is with the introduction of a new browser, which puts all patches, samples and loops in one place. You can search by name and type and select categories and tags, which should mean that you get to the content you’re looking for faster.
