I spent some time tonight playing around with Reason 2.5. It’s a software synth studio that lets you set up a virtual rack of equipment including synthesizers, drum machines, digital effects, a vocoder, and a bunch of other realistic looking devices. The coolest part of it all is that you can turn around the rack and wire everything up yourself. The concept behind it is ingenious and intuitive, at least for those familiar with this type of equipment. I’ve been thinking some lately about doing something musical again. After giving up on guitar pretty fast, and letting numerous years of piano playing fall away, there must be something that I can pick up and enjoy doing. I’m going to look around for a MIDI controller to borrow or buy cheaply to use with Reason to see if this is something I want to do more of. It’s just too cool not to.
