Tag, You're It!
All content in Reason is now categorized and tagged to let you explore sounds in a different way. That includes all soundbanks, all Reason Studios devices, and all Sound Packs. Over 20 years of sound design for you to use and abuse. Anything that isn't already tagged can of course be tagged by you.

Sequencer Upgrade
The sequencer has been split into two. With the Edit Area it's easy to get down and dirty with the details in your music without losing your way in the arrangement. Together with several workflow improvements, improved zooming, layout changes, and easy access to editing features--the upgraded sequencer makes it effortless to make your music sound like you.

It's Got the Look
Reason 13 doesn't just sound good, it also looks good. Together with the sequencer the entire Reason interface has been updated. It might not necessarily improve your music, but it will make it easier to find your way around.

Find Your Sound
Fall in love with your favorite devices again. In Reason 13 the sound bank library is updated with 1000+ patches, samples, REX loops, demo songs and song starter templates. Sometimes your own sound starts with one of Reason's built-in sounds.

Polytone Dual-Layer Synthesizer
Polytone is a synth-lovers' synth. Inspired by Reason's favorite vintage hardware, it's designed to recreate the warm analog sounds you know and love. But it wouldn't be Reason if the formula wasn't tweaked for more possibilities. Even better, Polytone has two layers that can be stacked or morphed between for super fat or evolving sounds.

Ripley Space Delay
Ripley combines delay and reverb with unique flavors of filtering, noise, and distortion. Coupled with extensive modulation you can create the delay you want--anything from clean taps or warm analog sounds to crazy lo-fi chirps or washed out ambiences. Everything that adds character and depth to your music.

Reason Tools
Three added devices that simplify common tasks for a smoother workflow, so that you spend less time on the boring stuff and more time making music. Sidechain Tool is all about ducking signals, Gain Tool puts you in control over signal levels, and Stereo Tool is a stereo widener specifically designed to make a simple signal sound bigger and wider.

Instruments
Drums, bass, piano, synths, strings, percussion, textures, keys, mallets, organ, woodwind. Reason comes with just about every instrument you can imagine.
