Hal Leonard Music Technology Retailer Update / May 2017

Reason 9.5 now offers compatibility with VST plug-ins!
We're pleased to inform you that Propellerhead has announced Reason 9.5, a free update for Reason 9 owners that introduces VST support - the #1 feature request by both Reason and non-Reason owners alike.  Reason 9.5 presents a new workflow and creative ways to use VST plugins. This is a big opportunity for you to sell Reason to a wider audience and up-sell (audio interfaces, VST plug-ins, etc). There's no reason for customers to wait to buy Reason! Anybody who purchases Reason 9 now will receive the new version for free on May 29th, through Reason's auto update.

  • Promotional "Grace Period" copy for your Reason landing pages (including Reason full version, Upgrades, Edu and Reason Essentials 9)
  • Please promote this announcement via Facebook and Twitter - Here's a link to our announcement video. Social media images and copy is available in this Dropbox folder link.
We anticipate sales will increase throughout the beta period. Please be sure to check your inventory and place an order today!  All these products are also available as downloadable codes via the Virtual Music Software Vault program.

Highlights
Like any DAW, Reason records audio. And, it has a killer tuning plug-in for vocals and some of the most amazing virtual instruments and effects. It has really had almost everything covered...EXCEPT...Reason hasn't played well other manufacturers' plug-ins. But now, Reason 9.5 provides a whole new world of creative freedom with access to thousands of great VST plug-ins including: Komplete, Auto-Tune, EastWest Sounds, Omnisphere, Sylenth 1, Nexus, Massive, FM8, Absynth, Reaktor, Gladiator, Serum, Vanguard, and many more, including a huge catalog of freeware!  Reason 9.5 and its newfound connection to VST plug-ins is really quite a big deal. 
 
"When I heard that Propellerhead made Reason 9.5 compatible with VST plug-ins, I had an instant flashback to 1996, the year that Jerry Maguire was a hit movie and VST plug-ins were released by Steinberg. I saw a young Tom Cruise say to young Renée Zellweger in a most inwardly emotional utterance, 'You [dramatic pause] Komplete me'."
