Looks impressive!

Anyone have a view about the difference between "multisampling" and "hypersampling"?

Hard for the new Essential Instrument Collection.....

I doubt that the EIC will come within a mile of the basic Reason Factory Soundbank, let alone specialised Refills like this. Reason is superb value for money, and I'm not convinced EIC will be.

But that is a seperate issue I guess: EIC is not aimed at competing with Reason. It's just that for those of us who own Reason, EIC will probably be redundant except for quick 'n' easy sketchpad stuff.

Interesting, it's been really quiet at the Props for awhile now.

The video is priceless! Enough humour mixed in with single-minded intent. Excellent stuff

It's interesting to see the way Propellerhead are going with this. Following on from Reason Drums 2, they seem to be taking seriously the challenge of establishing Reason as a top professional produciton tool for studios to use.

Nobody wrote:"made to rock" - do I really have to say this?

That's my favorite part

Any info about the price of the refill?

we are very excited about this new product. Pricing should mirror the Reason Drum Kits Refill as well in your respective countries. Check with your dealer.

Glad you guys liked the video too.

Talented folks, those Swedes.

Rob.

No kidding...there's a grand piano in there that's simply stunning. The fact that they've blown THAT out of the water is amazing.

Love the Props.

My "go-to" piano is the 6 foot grand combinator - stunning. I have done solo piano tracks with it and posted a couple on the props own website.

Departures - very nice! (I wish I could play the piano.)

i might be hearing things, but i've always felt reason instruments made my samples sound a little crapified.

I wonder how big the sample set is, didn't say anywhere.
