Studio Combo ReFill

The Propellerhead Studio Combo bundles the four Hypersampled Reason sound libraries in one small package at a price you can afford, including Reason Drum Kits 2, Reason Pianos, Abbey Road Keyboards, and Reason Electric Bass ReFills. The Studio Combo includes six DVDs, and all four ReFills come in both 16- and 24-bit versions.

Reason Drum Kits 2 Reason Drum Kits is a live drum recording session in a ReFill. It captures every aspect of the included kits: the drums themselves, the room surrounding them, the drummer, and the unique sound of the mics and outboard used in the recording—essentially the works.

Reason Drum Kits features a large amount of unique kits for Reason's Combinator device styled for vintage soul, indie-type pop, and hard rock, as well as an insane amount of inspirational MIDI files effect patches and style templates.

Reason Pianos Reason Pianos packages three impressive sounding, highly realistic pianos for Reason's Combinator. The Pianos were recorded from multiple angles using 6 sets of microphones. Why? The expert engineers behind this collection knew there's no single way to record a piano, so why not give the instrument different flavors.

The Reason Pianos ReFill does not seek to deliver a set of clinically perfect, scientifically reproduced concert pianos in a box. These are pianos you can use. Pianos to play. Pianos that simply sound good—without filling up your hard drive or chewing up all of your RAM. These hypersampled pianos are sophisticated and highly responsive instruments—play them softly or put some weight into it, and you'll feel it.

Abbey Road Keyboards Recorded on location using Abbey Road's recording rooms and vintage equipment, this ReFill gives you access to 7 time-honored Abbey Road instruments—these are the keyboards heard on all the infamous Abbey Road recordings.

Reason made a point of recording these keyboards in a way that will make them sound just as good in your Reason system as they do in real life. Using original vintage microphones preamps and outboard gear from Studio Two—combined with the expertise provided by the Abbey Road engineers —they captured these instruments the way they were recorded back in the day. The result is Abbey Road—its instruments, its technology, its acoustics—all in one box.

Reason Electric Bass The Reason Electric Bass ReFill puts 8 fully playable electric bass guitars into your Reason rack. Featuring selectable basses and bass rigs, this ReFill lets you add dynamic, natural-sounding basslines to your productions.

Based on note-for-note Hypersampling, these basses come complete with bends, glissandos, and fret noises, making them very responsive and alive. With a vast selection of instrument mic and amplifier combinations to choose from, you can rest assured that the bass sound you are looking for can be found here.

What is Hypersampling? Where other sample libraries leave you with a fixed sound that may or may not suit your project, Propellerhead's exclusive Hypersampling technology does just the opposite: the instruments were recorded using multiple microphones so the mixing and shaping of your sound is up to you. A large selection of Combinator presets ranging from basic microphone setups to wide multi-mic patches gives you absolute sonic control.
