According to Swedish music software company, the flagship Europa synthesizer which was part of the original app is still right at the users' fingertips, now adding two new amazing-sounding instruments. Rytmik Drum Machine offers a simple yet powerful drum machine and the Monotone Bass Synthesizer was designed to generate powerful and deep basslines. The two new devices can also be found in Reason 10.4, the new desktop version being released as well.
“With Reason Compact 2.0 we have developed our pocket synth into an extensive pocket music studio. It’s the perfect app no matter if you are a rising star crafting your first beat or a seasoned music producer who wants to sketch out ideas on the go. When you want to take your tracks further you can easily export the song ideas from your mobile to Reason 10 on your desktop for the final touchup”, says Hanna Åstrand, Product Manager at Propellerhead.
The Rytmik drum machine offers 18 free inspiring drum kits and users will be able to generate unique beats with the easy to use drum pads and built-in patterns in the drum grid.Built-in pre-made beats and sounds are created by world-class music producers, and designed for a range of modern music genres. And users will now be able to create complete rhythm tracks with basslines programmed in the new Monotone Bass Synthesizer using the smart keyboard feature that helps staying in key.
With Reason Compact 2.0, users can give beats and melodies their own personal touch and add depth and texture by exploring all the different built-in effects like reverb, delay and Unison effects. For those just getting started making music, the explainers and inspirational tips in the app will quickly guide the user.
