The team at Reason Studios come up with some of the most imaginative musical tools out there - and they don't just sound great but they're also a ton of fun to use. I just decided to come back to it and I can't believe how much it's come on since its early days. Thanks, Ryan, for another inspiring tutorial!
Been using this for a week. Purchased now too. My final verdict? You will not know the power of this plugin until you break it in. It can do anything you want to do with strings. It’s like dialing in reverb, but you are dialing in the exact sound of the strings you want.
I’m excited to get this when I get off work. Reason’s DAW just makes the most sense to me and Ryan has been instrumental in teaching how to use the program. We need more “Ryan’s Quick Tips”.
The best rack created since Europa and Grain. If this is in Reason 12, it will be hard not to leave 10 to go to 12 xD (Especially if you add video player support, or at least, a sync with VLC or other video players)
This has got to be the most expressive and deep string vst I've ever laid my hands on in my studio. I'm still amazed. And I've spent some $$$$ on sample libraries over and over. But, I'm just amazed!!
I can't help but salivate over this, sonics and control over so many aspects make it totally seductive to me. Plus, kudos to Ryan for putting together such a concise and musical introduction.
The way you make every tutorial easy, it's amazing... Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, reason really make things easy. I'm good because of you guys propellerhead.
When i got the email and seen this vid, I ran over to my PC and bought it immediately, and i must say i am HAPPY AF with my purchase lol WTG Reason!!!!
this is the coolest freaking thing all of us have been looking for. a realnlive string player. cept they also made 80 other kick butt instruments. this js 2020s best instrument vst......probably the best instrument in 8 years. I love it. it gives slides and staccato and errors...and plucking and articulatiom and its about the realist string playing program ever.
I love how they managed to add the human touch to it. With very little automation, it sounds as if someone is actually playing. It takes a bit of learning though, to create that realistic sound.
Well, I actually got the opposity feeling after watching this video, when they explicitly tell you, that you don't need MPE instruments to get the same level of expression You only need the mod wheel, to achieve that level of expression, which almost every single regular MIDI has included nowadays
electronicbits sure, just like they have said you don’t need VST’s ;). I guess you haven’t tried any MPE controller yet which btw has just recently became the standard and that’s to make the mod wheel obsolete.
@@usedusermoser have in fact tried the roli and is awful to play, if you are used to keyboards and who said you don't need VSTs ? first time i've heard of that ;) have tried the expressive e as well... meh If you've got an Android tablet, you can connect it to your PC as a MIDI instrument, download a MPE software and you will get very very similar functionality that those new modules are giving you... for a fraction of the cost.
Congratulations for the fantastic work you did in Fraktion. The UI is truly intuitive and easy to use.
Although I have a question which can become also a suggestion. Is there any way to change the scales in microtonal modes? For people like me (we are millions) who produce western music as well as world / ethnic this addition could be a fantastic tool in our hands. An instrument so expressive like this I found it's really a shame to stay limited inside the borders of the western music living out the rest of the globe.
Looks great! Definitely a well thought out instrument. Are there plans in the future to have coupling of resonating bodies? (like AAS chromaphone, where one can feed into the other, or they simply play in parallel) something like that will be able to exponentially multiply the sound design possibilities of something like this. Thanks!
I have been working on doing quite a lot of this Articulation using Europa & Parsec for Brass & Strings for many albums now but this looks so much better suited overall.
I like it. However, having bought individual REs from Reason in the past only to have them become a part of the mainline Reason/Suite a year or two later makes me hesitant to buy another individual RE... I don't want to end up paying twice for something in a future upgrade.
Yes, but you still get the use of it while it's not a part of the Suite. Reason studios pricing structure is very fair. I own Suite 11. Suite 11 has several instruments in it that I bought when they were individual paid RE's. Am I upset that they bundled instruments that I paid for into Suite 11? No, because I still got to use them for all that time that they were NOT a part of any suite. The Reason Studios Value for Money is among the highest in the music industry considering what you get for that money. The only other company that comes close is Native Instruments IMHO.
@@BenedictRoffMarsh I didn't have ALL of them, just some of them, so I calculated that my upgrade price from Reason 10 Standard to Reason 11 Suite was well worth it, so I went for it. I do not regret it. I'm a Reason user for life. Good people.
It is my main DAW, for sure, but, because of this uncertainty, I go with VSTs before REs. If I'm on the fence about purchasing an RE, I'll just wait to see if it will be part of suite in the next update or so. I'm not disparaging Reason as a product, but... Been burned a few times in purchases, so, this one can wait.
@@kingpinronin9223 I'm with you, but man, Fiiktion looks like it's on another planet in terms of having a string instrument that you can play that's really convincing. For the most part, I can;t stand any samplers for strings. I just find they all sound so wooden and lacking in any vitality. I've not bothered going from 10 to 11 yet, but I'm also unsure I can resist this thing given the amount of real time controls you have and its sonic properties.
This looks really good. Thanks for the video and thanks to the company for doing a real synth instrument and not another damned ROMploid one-trick cash cow. When they put their minds to it, they're still great developers. There has been real progress here, despite the silly name change. We're getting on a bit of a roll now. Props to RS for another good rack tool.
Butterfly Crash , the comment was how is reason not the most creative DAW. Yes the semi modular nature of reason is creative from the aspect of the daw. The grid is very creative. The devs at bitwig gave users a playground. Node base synthesis that works with bigwigs modularity is pretty damn creative. Sure the rest of bitwig is a rehash of what ableton has been doing. But Reason hasn’t added an original feature in quite a while. And don’t even say players. I don’t want to automate making music. Reason has been trying to catchup with the other DAWs for years. And with the last few updates, they’ve gotten desperate for more users, implementing features that abandon their core users and attract those of other DAWs. If reason continued to be creative and innovative they never would have lost the users they are trying to get back.
@@PhylaMedia I get where you're coming from. But still, your creative workflow may not be like others' creative workflow and I think we know it was a rhetorical question (it's a comment about Reason on a Reason video). Btw, the node based approach may be on a modern level, but it's not new. Just think of NI Reaktor. Personally I'm not interested in that too much. For me it's a creativity blocker. I just want to make music my way and I've always found my way back to Reason, because of it's compact and modular nature and the way it simulates an "endless" rack. Don't get me wrong, Bitwig is super cool and it's your favorite DAW, that's perfect - you found what you were looking for. And just like you and me any other artist has to find it on their own.
@@PhylaMedia Where feedback loops are restricted to the bufer size lol , iow you can't build phasers or karplus strong algoritms in the the grid becasuue of this restriction You need a 1 unit sample feedback for algortims that rely on feedback ( like filters , phasers etc...) , thank god there is serious software like reaktor and max msp
Sickkkkkkkkk. Screaming distorted lead guitar. If this isn't the fastest way to channel our fallen Eddy Van Halen (RIP), I'm not sure what is. Drop the Friktion in a combinator with the Scream 4 distortion. Set Friktion to Hybrid Fretless / pluck and set the Scream 4 to Distortion. Then experiment with the Vibrato and the Glide on the Friktion along with the Scream's P1, P2, and Body knobs. Even the Scream's Auto knob (auto-wah) is awesome. I've been searching for this for a long time. The Harmonics on the Friktion is also insane.
I'd like to pause at 1:14 and just talk about something for a moment. I own lots strings scattered about. And I'm sure Friktion is a wonderful instrument. But something is really concerning to me. Reason's core tools and UI for sequencing, locating, and organizing string instruments and patches has remained mostly ignored for years now. Yet here we are with another instrument for sale. But then the launching of Ableton in this video instead of Reason. A DAW I don't own that Reason is implying be used for sequencing. Gotta say it guys, no matter how good Friktion is, I'm shaking my head here.
@@ezrashanti agree Ezra, and it's not a coincidence they are launching Reason Rack in Ableton and marketizing it...that's the roadmap in Propeller to my understanding. Question is now: why i should pay for a Reason sequencer? Just launch it as stack of instruments lowering the price ;)
Although I love the concept: a savvy Europa user can basically achieve the same sounds with a combinator and some careful matrix routing and sound design
...But still no support for multitimbral VST MIDI or Roli Seaboard control. Even the cheapest of DAWs support this. Why is it taking so long, lots have asked for years now?
Quicks Pp because reason needs fixing... I wish they’d work on make reason more up to date with ablelton and fl studio instead of make these mediocre synths ... reason is lacking behind most daw’s these days because they should of worked with vsts from the beginning not catching up 10 years later
@@nebstaism I've been saying this a while once they allowed vsts we.dont care about new instruments or RE's give us quality of life changes the sequencer is the worst of all the DAW's including free ones
Quicks Pp exactly... I don’t hardly even use the reason re’s since they brought in the vsts... I just wished they’d make reason work with the vsts properly it’s like only half work with them... it’s annoying... they need to get reason up to date with the other vst’s asap they’re slipping not fixing all the things wrong with reason and bringing out these weak synths ... they need to get reason right first then work on their Re’s
@@nebstaism Yeah... the sequencer needs updating compared to other daws for sure, but I personally have not run into something that I couldn't do that would realistically affect my music in the end. I only feel its lacking when I look at the features from other daws and compare. That's not an excuse for reason, and they should keep up with the others. However, I tried working with a few other daws (Live and Reaper, which I still use very rarely) and they don't feel as good. The spontaneous creativity of using rack devices, players working seamless with the sequencer, instant instrument loading compared to some VSTs all have brought me back to reason. The other ones, which are more powerful in many aspects (especially Reaper... that thing is ridiculously powerful) feel bland and are not as inspiring or fun for me and affects the music I make. My point is I feel Reason has everything I NEED but not everything I WANT. Anyways, the move to make it a VST must have been something challenging to do and probably took a lot of time to implement, which is why 11 was an underwhelming release for reason users with few workflow improvements, but they kind of made that up for that with the suite bundle. Seriously, having to list the ability to see input midi notes on the piano roll as a 'feature' is pathetic!!! Now that the VST thing is out of the way, they have no excuses now. I feel the next release will be more Reason focused as they haven't released too many REs compared to how many they released during Reason 10s life.
@@anupjsebastian i like the Reason feel and look .but yes if you look at the features, it lacks behind other DAWs(or make it 3 steps harder to do). Working with audio in Reason isn't as streamlined especially if you're into making edits and remixes.

Would really love to see more ethnic hand drum percussion drum kit added as well as maybe although I did notice that after purchasing all the sounds that are available and the reason that I didn’t notice that most of the sounds that was basically looking for are there if you do it just sounds like I noticed piano and guitar and violin and even saxophone sounding since which may have been based off of those SMS in the first place but call Adderall not sure but I did notice which we get enough we can get those sound but it would be nice to see maybe another sound kids added that just has the sound as a default as brass saxophone violin classicalKusic guitar electric guitar or added in one or maybe a few more sound packs I would easily buy them without thinking twice I find your app to be the easiest to understand easiest to get things done I feel touchscreen with music is awesome I’m so happy that you guys made this up
Who knows why I've seldom looked up any Reason tutorials, lol. I guess because adulting and therefore not a ton of free time to investigate my hobby of making noises to much of a useful degree. So, now I think I have a less vague idea of what a "Combinator" is. Now for clarifying to myself why a couple of the racks are seemingly redundant mixers and audio channels, and why would I need them, when there's already a fantastic SSL desk sim right there. This strings synth looks great. I'm not even into strings, but I'm now GASing for it, go figure. I did work out what the "players" are, and am stunned with their usefulness. I need to get the "chords and scales" one. What havoc I could make while dialing in random settings just to see how whack things can get, lol.
The team at Reason Studios come up with some of the most imaginative musical tools out there - and they don't just sound great but they're also a ton of fun to use. I just decided to come back to it and I can't believe how much it's come on since its early days. Thanks, Ryan, for another inspiring tutorial!
Reason is the most useful and FUN collection of audio tools available on the market for the price.
I have all all of their string RE, Refills and instruments but this is truly what I've looking for
I'm surprised how decisions made by the Reason team a decade ago build more powerful framework with every new release. In love with Reason since 2004

Would really love to see more ethnic hand drum percussion drum kit added as well as maybe although I did notice that after purchasing all the sounds that are available and the reason that I didn’t notice that most of the sounds that was basically looking for are there if you do it just sounds like I noticed piano and guitar and violin and even saxophone sounding since which may have been based off of those SMS in the first place but call Adderall not sure but I did notice which we get enough we can get those sound but it would be nice to see maybe another sound kids added that just has the sound as a default as brass saxophone violin classicalKusic guitar electric guitar or added in one or maybe a few more sound packs I would easily buy them without thinking twice I find your app to be the easiest to understand easiest to get things done I feel touchscreen with music is awesome I’m so happy that you guys made this up
What is the song at the start?
Man, I always forget about that Combinator!
Who knows why I've seldom looked up any Reason tutorials, lol. I guess because adulting and therefore not a ton of free time to investigate my hobby of making noises to much of a useful degree. So, now I think I have a less vague idea of what a "Combinator" is. Now for clarifying to myself why a couple of the racks are seemingly redundant mixers and audio channels, and why would I need them, when there's already a fantastic SSL desk sim right there. This strings synth looks great. I'm not even into strings, but I'm now GASing for it, go figure. I did work out what the "players" are, and am stunned with their usefulness. I need to get the "chords and scales" one. What havoc I could make while dialing in random settings just to see how whack things can get, lol.
Could I use this on fl?
this sounds really good and i don't dislike the UI ...
Will this be included in Reason Suite?
No this is a premium Rack Extension in the shop on its own. It's not part of Reason Suite. /ryan
@@ReasonStudios so does this mean that I have to wait for it to *possibly* be included in the next version of Reason Suite? *Hint Hint*
"911 what's your emergency?"
"I've done it again, I've done it again...I've bought another rack extension"
😂😂
You sold me.
