Reason Studios has announced that Reason 14, a major update to their flagship DAW, is now a available.
Key new features include an all-new Track Panel, Rack per Track architecture, and the RV-9 Reverb.
Here’s what’s new in Reason 14:
- The new Track Panel provides a full overview of devices, signal chains, send levels, and panning for the selected track—reducing the need to move between views. Combined with Rack per Track, which gives each track its own dedicated Rack column, navigation becomes more immediate and intuitive
- Reason 14 introduces important updates to the sequencer, including:
- Track Folders for better organization
- Looped clips for faster arrangement and editing
- Improved piano roll editing, including velocity handles
- Another key feature in Reason 14 is RV-9 Reverb Station. RV-9 combines algorithmic and convolution techniques to deliver richer, more detailed spatial effects. It includes a full range of reverb types—from realistic spaces and hardware to unique granular and spectral algorithms—along with modern features such as shimmer, ducking, and integrated EQ.
- Other updates include:
- Dark Mode Mixer.
- MIDI note chase.
- Automatic tempo detection for imported audio.
- Updated Factory Sound Bank ,with over 900 new drum samples and new patches.
- An updated Rack Extension SDK, with improved interface capabilities.
Availability:
Reason 14 is available now.

Finally Reason update that we were all waiting for 🙂
Looks like a nice update for those using Reason in its proper DAW mode. But for those of us using the rack VST in other DAWs, there’s just not enough to justify the upgrade. Reason 12 embedded in Ableton still does the job for me. Not gonna pay for the rental version of it or pay twice (the licensed version plus the fancy devices).
Despite that, it’s interesting how all the different owners of Propellerhead/Reason Studios kept the basic philosophy of the DAW going: to provide a complete studio in a single program.
