Redrum is Reason’s pattern-based drum machine, with a drum-computer design inspired by classic 1980s machines. Its 10 stereo channels load, edit and play samples, either from users’ own collections or from included preset kits. The sequencer provides 32 patterns across four banks, with up to 64 steps per pattern. Redrum can play its own patterns, be triggered from Reason’s main sequencer or receive MIDI. For routing and control, it has individual audio and gate outputs, plus gate and CV inputs. Redrum is included in Reason 14 and the Reason subscription. Reason Rack is offered as a VST3, AU and AAX plugin and is described as compatible with major DAWs. Reason itself runs only on Mac and Windows computers. Listed plans include Reason Rack 14 at €159, paid once and Reason 14 at €239, paid once. Reason+ is billed annually and includes a free 7-day trial, but its annual price is not displayed.
