• Fixed an issue where Rack Extension content could disappear from the Browser index when running Reason continuously for more than a week

Rack

• Fixed a bug where the graphics weren’t redrawn correctly when sub-modules in Kong were emptied or bypassed
• Rack Extensions may now support auto-routing of CV outputs for note/gate, pitch wheel, and mod wheel. This works if such routing targets are defined by the device (CV outputs with specific signal types and auto route option enabled by the developer)

Improvements

• Updated application icon for macOS Tahoe
• Fixed an issue where Ripley’s feedback Limiter button function was reversed
• Reason now remembers area splitter positions between the main areas (Mixer, Rack, Sequencer)
• Browser: When selecting 'Browse Samples' for an empty slot, the browser will start where you last loaded a sample. For example, if you load a kick sample for one Redrum slot and then move on to load a snare in the next slot, the browser will stay in the same location.

• Fixed an issue in Ableton Link where the sync was offset when syncing to a Windows computer
• Fixed an issue where damaged audio files could hang Reason when quitting
• Added alert to indicate search errors in the browser

Bugs fixed

• Fixed an issue where dragging devices from the Device window could be very slow
• Reason stayed resident in memory after quitting (Windows). This was related to the indexer getting stuck in an endless loop if it could no longer connect to network drives or external hard drives, which had disconnected
• Fixed an issue where ReFills were needlessly rescanned. When having reconnected an external drive, it would be completely deep-rescanned (including ReFills) even if it has previously been connected. This could take a lot of time
• Fixed a graphics bug which occurred when moving a Browser window during ‘text input focus’
• Detach Browser button was masked by text when Browser was resized small

Features added

The Browser can now be used as a side panel together with changes and improvements to the Browser logic

• New option to show the Browser as a side panel on the left side in Reason and Reason Rack Plugin.
• The Browser as a side panel and the Device Palette are exclusive—showing one will hide the other. However, you can still see the Device Palette and the Browser as a window at the same time, just as in Reason 13.
• In Reason Rack Plugin, the “Open with Device Palette shown” setting is now a three-choice dropdown called “Open with side panel showing:” (Device Palette/Browser/Off).
• There is a new preference setting for default behavior (Browser as window or side panel), that is applied when you create a new song or open an older song (i.e. a song without this setting stored).
• In focus-less mode, the Browser no longer closes automatically when clicking Create/Import. To close, use the Browser button in the top panel, the F9 key, or the X button in the corner of the browser window. This allows you to keep the browser open while working.
• When using the Browser as a side panel in browse focus mode (Browse Patches, Create Instrument, etc.), clicking OK or Cancel will return to whatever was shown in the side panel when you entered browse focus (Device Palette, Browser in focus-less mode, or no side panel shown).
• When you exit browse focus by clicking OK (or by double clicking or pressing Return), the browser view will now stay in the last location and maintain any applied filters.
• When the Browser is a side panel, it can be resized by dragging. In narrow mode, the Locations column shows tool tips to help with navigation.
• When the "Load default sound in new devices" setting is selected in the Preferences, there is now the option to also start browsing in the folder of the default sound rather than all compatible patches All Locations.

New, better looking waveform drawing in:

• Sequencer
• Sample editor
• Sampling window

Visual refresh

• Most dialogs and windows have changed from a native OS look to a unified Reason look. This does not only look more at home in Reason, it also means things looks the same on Mac and Windows.
• Texts and colors have been updated for a more unified look

Preferences overhaul

• Reason’s Preferences have also been updated with a more intuitive layout and matching look

• Sections are now to the left with the option to move between tabs with the up/down arrow keys

• Some settings have been moved and in some cases renamed for better clarity

• The "Show Cable Animation" setting has been removed. This is now always on, just like in Reason Rack Plugin.

  ◦ Fun fact: turning off cable animation was a CPU saving measure all the way back in Reason 1. Computer power have come a long way since!

Area buttons (Mixer/Sequencer/Rack)

• The area buttons now work more like the corresponding F-keys: clicking a button switches to that area.
• To add an area to your view rather than switch, you can Shift-click the buttons. You can of course also still drag the splitters or use combination presses of F5, F6, and F7.
