Introducing the BV-X Multimode Vocoder for Reason

Now available for the Reason Rack, the BV-X Multimode Vocoder is Reason Studios' modern take on a classic audio effect. Across nearly all musical genres from EDM, to hip hop, to pop and beyond vocoders have brought synthesizers to life. BV-X is available in the Reason Studios shop as a Rack Extension and is also included automatically with a Reason+ subscription.
BV-X Multimode Vocoder is a new Effect that makes the classic vocoding sound accessible.
The built-in powerful synthesizer is custom-made for the vocoder and allows producers to get
a great result with just a few simple steps. Enabling Auto Play means you don't have to play
any MIDI notes-BV-X will track along with your voice.
BV-X Multimode Vocoder is available in the Reason Studios shop as a Rack Extension add-on for the Reason DAW and Reason Rack Plugin (VST, AU, AAX).

You had me at "California" :D

[@stapizo]

This is why despite all its flaws I've been loving reason for the past 15years. Keep it up !

[@EloTheSource]

Well said

[@Nenko_Music]

true bro

[@Caelo_music]

Sounds and looks super cool. RE releases are just like a new album release from your favorite band!

[@nathanspark4876]

agreed, then u look at the price and change your mind. 110 (110!) euros for a single device NOT INCLUDED IN R12 so even if u buy the upgrade to 12 u don't get the new vocoder. Further, they didn't even made a launch price!!! A SHAME!!! The only way would be the subscription, but for an old customer that OWN the daw is a non-sense!!!

[@redmission1984]

I keep hearing people complain about lack of VST3 and "workflow improvements", that I'm sure Reason is working on... but this video shows why I keep coming back to Reason as my favorite DAW. It's just so much fun to experiment and go crazy, and all in front of you - no menu diving and popups like other DAWs. Looking forward to trying this new device.

[@jkq2006]

Reason essentially has it all. MPE would be nice but that's niche at present.

[@DigitalFacts]

I am more than happy that with this video the old Propellerhead spirit eventually shines thru again. 🙏 BV-X is awesome! And there never is such a thing as too many vocoders!!!!

[@usedusermoser]

Loving the new design aesthetics, the cool modern retro look with screws panel, loving Reason studios are getting their groove back. I 💛 Reason. Thank you for being! 😊🙏

[@depblkman]

I have been with reason since reason 2.5. I'm old school so I love racks. This new vocoder is the stuff.

[@ILaxative]

Same. I started on 2.5 as well. All those 💿’s back then for installation lol

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Seriously impressive. This, and *Bassline Generator* are leading me toward trying to figure out how i will incorporate Reason into an MPC+Logic workflow.

[@AstorSkywalker]

Impressive, most impressive. -DV

[@mikenixmusic]

Man you guys never cease to amaze....Best DAW, best synthesizer workstation, hands down...!

[@Military23446]

All daws are Quality i use Reason from version 2, some like more fl, some studio one, i llike Reason becuse i use it a Long time. But Reasonneed machnes like uhe s ore tone 2

[@princeamu]

That last song SHLAPS

[@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849]

Man, Reason has come so far since I last used it, it’s almost going to be like learning a new DAW. I’m up for it.

[@marquis999]

As a long time fan of Vocoders (and one time owner of the Roland SVC-350) I have to say that I aim impressed with the quality, faithfulness, and improvements to vocoding in general that this plug in as achieved.

[@ReasonStudios]

Thank you Mark!

[@MaxFLY4220]

That example track is a banger.

[@N1h1L3]

THIS is how to demonstrate a vocoder. Top notch content and a very user friendly feature packed device aswell ! *added to wishlist*

[@nathanspark4876]

agree, same here, in the wishlist till they'll make a decent price, 110 euros is a scam

[@candormind3159]

You guys make the best walkthrough videos ever

[@VANDYKEDAN]

Ryan Reigns Royally!

[@gcmaudio]

Just discovered this plug-in, went straight on to my rent-to-own list. Sounds fantastic, especially since I couldn't sing if my life depended on it.

[@Andreasericsonmusic]

Wow. This must be the ultimate vocoder! Great!

[@ThomasCorfield]

Ryan, you owe me another pair of trousers.

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Congrats!! Really cool one, and was fun to test! Simple to understand yet powerful to make some interesting textures and sounds fantastic!

[@Zinnaca]

Using this, couple of synths, few lfos and COMBINE them all and puff we have new synths! :D Good to see Reasonstudios still make daw work interesting and inspiring!

[@undergroundATx]

Sara Spencer's vocal melody @3:06 is such 🔥

[@aswinbeats]

How did you know the artist’s name? Where can I find this song?

[@undergroundATx]

@@aswinbeats They discussed it in the BV-X livestream yesterday. Sara Spencer and Sean Murray. Dont know where to find the track or even if its available. Love it tho

[@SarahSpencerMusic]

Thanks dude!!

[@aswinbeats]

@@SarahSpencerMusic You should release the pop version of this song. It’s a banger! I like it more than the EDM one 🙂

[@Nate-ip4qo]

Those vocoded drums sound so good.

[@amusik7]

Wow this is the best vocoder implementation I have ever seen - well done!

[@MikeFavila]

Congratulations on the release!

[@Digital_Mozart]

Reason's innovation and out of the box thinking when it comes to new devices is why I barely buy VST's to be very honest.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

True plus if you cant find a sound or a way to make a particular sound within Reason I think they must not know it very well. I here alot of VST sythersizors being used in Reason but I just think, "Hmmm why are they using that when Thor, or Europa, or Melstrum can make the exact same sound?" I see it alot.

[@sundatea8601]

Op

[@sundatea8601]

Ok L

MlOaoa Ma｡◕‿◕｡

[@unboxoverkill]

I’ve been waiting for this plugin since I’ve heard broods vocals. Man, thank you for answered prayers 🙏

[@nathanspark4876]

the f******g buffering fx at the end made me crazy, total mind blowing!!! Just bought...

[@mystinenkissa]

OMG!!! U Saved my music ! TY ! This IS Looking Amazing

[@IZMONOMI]

Daaaaamn, Reason Studios has hit into next level!!!

[@jkq2006]

Bye Bye Maschine, your restrictive workflow served me well. Im sorry I ever left you Reason!

[@NoelScerri]

This looks and sounds amazing! Well done Reason Studios! In the upper part of my bucket list ;)

[@darkstatehk]

*THIS* is how you put a product demo together. Mr. Harlin, you are an interdimensional wizard.

[@djdivx]

Can't help but think I had some influence on this device when I dropped the Talk box combi a few years back. No need for that now. This does it all! Great work as always Ryan.

[@kimspence-jones4765]

This looks awesome!

[@heymate1618]

looks great and sounds nice, clearly you're all doin' it right

[@nathanspark4876]

also the price is great, very great, ''JUST'' 110 euros...

[@thrillerboyrecords]

Nice work , Team Reason Studio 12. There's no doubt we are the future. The energy , the tone , the features can cause new things to happen along the way , a song inside of another song , keep the gems 💎 coming this vocoder is appealing.

[@theclassick1]

The Autoplay makes this an instant must have. Would pay double 🔥❤️🔥❤️

[@Take_NotesSuperHooverweight]

This is what I've been waiting for 🥊🔥

[@StefanHoepner]

I would really like to hear or buy the final versions of this song. Sarah Spencer's vocals are really dreamy and absolutely fantastic.

[@jetblackdovemusic]

me too!

[@partyboeller]

Looks cool. Nice to see that you guys keep coming up with new ways to use existing building blocks from reason and combine them in a useful way!

[@EmlynInTheMix]

Really well thought out Vocoder!! It’s sounding so damn sexy!

[@CristiNeagu]

A really nice upgrade over the BV512, and not just a reskin.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I use the BV512 EQ band splitting for a nice breakdown sound before a drop.

[@earthmike532]

I love this! So many tools in one place. You can really make vocals pop. I can't wait to run this through my vocal chain

[@joshuakhokhlan]

This is so dang cool

[@JakeyWakey]

All right alright. I'm going to Reason school this week.

[@DashGlitch]

Love the thumbnail haha! I'm a robot!

[@LoneGRoEnt]

This is exciting. Very nice.

Thank u peter pettigrew this was dope ❤

*Poooof* The sound of my money leaving my debit card to get this.

amazing!

[@EmilianoBruguera]

Brilliant ❤❤

[@jordimoraguesmassanet1179]

I'm a sucker for vocoders and I absolutely love this one. Shut up and take my money! 😄

[@joesalyers]

I ran this with a guitar today and made a really cool talk box it works really well, just replace the with BV-X in front of the Reason guitar amp and boom Talkbox!

[@NeilGuise]

Wow! Very current very fresh. Clever combination of features make this look like a lot of fun to use. 👏👏👏

[@eelcostuy4641]

Yes Reason Studios, I'm enjoying Reason more and more. Greetings from a fan! Any extra buttons and switches for the combinator coming up? I love designing combinators so much nowadays

[@bagsy8756]

Agreed!

[@raphaeldavis522]

Love it! But what I really appreciate is that for over 20 years Reason has stayed true to it's guns: Creating a platform that makes creativity fun! Keep up the great work. PS would love to see something like this for the Humana RE. A RE that can control the lyrics sang by the choir...that would be wild. just my thoughts...

[@raphaeldavis522]

Oh shit! After watching the Livestream and seeing Mattias pull off some magic with the built in unison and reverb I think it might already be possible to create something like a choir with a little tweaking...🤔

[@dieterkalt4281]

shut up and take my money, haha what a great videopromotion, great demosong

[@ChristFan868]

Is there a demo song out there with this stuff in action? This is really cool.

[@SMEL]

Ayeeeeeeee 💯

[@djcomyca]

Wauw!!!😄💪👊🙏💙

[@quamb]

This is the first time a demo track on these videos sounds like an actual track. Maybe its the minor chords.

Sold

[@thebeatless9831]

can't help it being fan-boy

[@botious1243]

*droooooooooling*

[@yove2934]

Yes!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Include this for all Reason 12 buyers and owners and 1 make your Reason community very happy and more loyal for future updates, 2 Sell more copys of Reason 12 or just offer only to Reason plus users and make Reason stand alone users disappointed. I know you want to make money there is alot of VSTs and even Free Daws out there right now. Free or included valuable things like plugins creates a positive feeling towards a company and increase sales this is why so much great stuff is free permanently or for a time period. Aturia, Native Instruments, Akai to name a few. BV X Looks great.

[@cooperlyle8781]

At least add it to their own store their website. Their new sampler is in 12

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@cooperlyle8781 What I'm talking about is a short term deal where the BV X is a free RE for all current and new owners of Reason 12 for minimum 2 week period.

[@cooperlyle8781]

@@HOLLASOUNDS damn and then it disappears for 12 users?? I'm still on 11 and nothing has convinced me to upgrade yet.. I also use and iPad pretty extensively and with all the crazy cool synth and sound design apps they do now with those + reason 11 I'm kinda set. I can basically recreate this exact vocoder by chaining the right effects and then I can even send the input into reason 11 for even more.. but yeah that's really dumb. Another gripe about the new "reason studios" (propellerhead must have been the REASON ;) for reason being so different and unique and loyal to customers, but they got rid of that so... Here we are) but another bone I have with them is their iOS Apps. "Reason Compact" .... It's virtually nothing like Reason. Cubasis3 on iOS is VIRTUALLY cubasis on PC ... But Reason Compact is like a little toy (a 50$ little toy) compared to the desktop version. And even if you own reason, or reason+ or reason 12 even, you still have to buy to unlock every single element of their little app. Every effect, synth, etc costs like 10$ or more, it looks and feels like something made by ampify or bandlab or something... But what really gets me is you get reason studios reward points for downloading the iOS apps and for buying the app unlocks, BUT YOU CANT USE THOSE REWARDS towards purchasing any reason apps or unlocking paid sections of their apps... Even using the rewards store is confusing cus if you press the wrong button your back in the reason studios shop and like 90% of it isn't included in the rewards store and you can't even tell what is or isn't applicable towards your reward vouchers. I had enough for a 25$ voucher but there is nothing in the rewards store less that 40$..... !?! It's just.... Yeah

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@cooperlyle8781 I said offer the BV X for a minimum of 2 weeks for all Reason 12 owners new and old. Now there are ways of getting Reason 12 cheaper by buying an old Reason 1 to 11 used online either the actual software or just the license. You can get Reason 11 lite licence for under $20 or buy an old boxed Reason for under $40 and then you only pay then $200 to get 12 from there. As for the BV X the green section on there is identical sounding to the Metallic effect on Goldwave audio editor and that's over 15 years old. I let you into a little secret, all of My music on My channel that's been published is from Reason 4 lol. Take a listen to the effects and the mutating sounds that sound like there comming from Europa shape shifter synthesizer. My trick to creat fast wave changes is to just slow down the bpm and the record automation on the MClass EQ then put back to normal speed and the wave form is basically having the same effect as shape shifting the wave. My automation jumps all over the place, looks cool. The only thing I need from later version of Reason is the pitch edit, I can do everything else in Abalten 11 and gold wave.

[@nathanspark4876]

109 euros for a single device is crazy, you can get Ovox by Waves for 29 euros and it has nothing to envy to this. I mean, from Propellerhead to Reason Studio they became greedy, already customers are very disappointed BUT THEY SIMPLY DON'T GIVE A F***, despite WE make them rich by supporting their work through the years, before the f*******g submission thing!

[@arpeggioblues5924]

Very interesting tool. Can you just use two of your own audio streams and have one as carrier other as source (or vise versa), would this work if the plugin is set to 'init'. so the other pre-programmed presets don't interfere? Looks like a lot of fun to play with, especially with voice-overs

[@adilmuzic]

💚💚💚💚🫡🫡🙌supeerrrrr!!!!

[@EvertTaihuttu]

Sounds so cool and is the full song somewhere available to check out? Love it. It's soooo good 🙏💖✌

​@@ReasonStudiosAny chance we could get this as a demo to play around with inside Reason?

Yeah! Great! Now make it a VST3! Ahh... wait...

Also i can carrier it like serum Europa and that sicc modulation filters would be sicc af

[@nebstaism]

So cool I want it ASAP !!!! Is vst 3 support available yet in reason? I really need to use Roland cloud in reason asap!!!

[@TheMorMor]

No not yet but they have started work on it

[@Jordanchicity23]

what instruments (actual synths), tools, or features do you mostly use with roland cloud. forgive me for not knowing too much about it as i mostly stay mc707 standalone. i used to sometimes mess with zenology beat program when i had an i pad and its cool that it still works with my android phones. also in the past i bought a few kits or whatever they are with the sfz patch files for my 707 (only like a buck a piece!). but yea curious how you would like to implement the roland cloud stuff into reason

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@Jordanchicity23 Some people just like using what they know. Prehaps they have a sound they found in Roland that they love and dont want to use anything else.

[@nebstaism]

@@Jordanchicity23 I would just make hectic beats using their fresh sounding vsts in reason .... all the korg and Roland cloud vsts sound top notch

[@ReaZaaa]

All well and good, but can you please make the sequencer more intuitive? For example, navigate with the mouse wheel pressed?

[@DeclineMusic]

yeees

[@emphatic001]

Dope. Is it included in the next big update or available in the shop?

[@ReasonStudios]

It's available now in the shop and included now on Reason+ too.

[@nathanspark4876]

yes my friend, prepare 109 euros... FOR A SINGLE DEVICE. No launch price (!) ...Then think for 29 euros you can get Waves Ovox, A MONSTER VOCODER.

[@St4bilityMusic]

Is it weird that even though I will probably never use a lot of the plugins Reason Studios makes, I still think they're all really cool?

[@laptopdj]

Hello, looks and sounds like a very serious tool, congrats. But in order to be able to use it in my existing setup (and replacing vocoders in songs) I need to run it as VST plugin. Is there a way to do it? I couldn't find this info on your site. Thanks!

[@dustintheblacklight]

You can run Reason as Vst, so yes you can do that

[@ReasonStudios]

All of Reason's devices can be used inside the Reason Rack Plugin which is a VST itself. Subscribing to Reason+ is the easiest (and most affordable) way to get your hands on the VST plugin, and BV-X and the rest of our devices.

[@laptopdj]

@@ReasonStudios thanks a million!!!

[@RyanHarlin]

Also check out the other BV-X videos on the Reason Studios channel because there are set up tutorials for how to set up the vocoder in Logic, Live, Studio One, and FL Studio.

[@Caelo_music]

Great device, I also want to give a shout out to BV-X manual. Great explanation of Vocoders and good visuals. Always a good read. Also, what is the naming scheme for the new effects why lose the numbers? RV7 turned into RV7000, why not turn it into BV5000 or so? Is there any reason or thought behind the naming that I missed?

[@CristiNeagu]

Maybe because the 512 stood for the number of frequency bands the BV512 has, but the BV-X is not limited in bands.

[@Caelo_music]

@@CristiNeagu That`s certainly the case for why the BV512 was named that way but I think even in the BV-X the highest resolution is equivalent to 512 frequency bands. I guess it`s not so important how the device is called, and I was simply curious why they picked this name.

[@VANDYKEDAN]

It's a cousin of BB-8.
