Reason Studios have released Arpeggio Lab, available from within Reason, included with Reason+.
There’s a moment in every producer’s life when things just… stop.
You sit down, open your DAW, and instead of making music you start comparing kicks for 45 minutes straight. You play a chord. Move one note. Undo. Redo. Close the project. Open a new one. Same result. Creative block. Fuck.
Rick Rubin once said “As an artist, it’s your job to stay inspired” and at this moment, you hate Rick Rubin. You just can’t seem to find that spark and it feels like you’ve tried everything in your might. Well, everything except Arpeggio Lab. Because that “that spark” is now a player, specifically designed to cure insufferable feelings of being stuck.
Unlike traditional arpeggiators that treat music like math, ArpeggioLab responds musically — like a guitarist brushing across the strings or a pianist letting their fingers wander. It’s designed for you to just turn knobs and explore, creating vibrant and unique arpeggios out of basically any sound you can imagine. It’s highly playable, a bit addictive, and proven to cure* creative block within minutes of use. Sort of like a prescription drug for ideas.
So if you’re looking for a sign to pick up that old project from 2022 that really had something — this is your sign.
Side effects may include, but are not limited to:
- Creative breakthroughs at 3 AM
- Temporary belief that you’re about to win a Grammy
- Excessive head-nodding / foot-tapping
Features include:
- ANCHOR – Choose an Anchor Pattern to give your arpeggio a musical pulse
- MOVEMENT – Use Movement to fill the gaps with arpeggio shapes—dense, sparse, complex or simple
- MODIFIERS – Add variations with the Modifiers—mute steps, add ratchets or shift octaves
- CV/GATE – Use CV/Gate to split the arpeggio to different instruments
