New release: Greenhouse – the Synplant ReFill!
“Greenhouse” is an awesome ReFill which is based on samples coming from the popular Synplant software synthesizer which is without any doubt one of the most innovative plugins of recent years. 125+ combinator patches provide an insight into the great and highly characterful sound capabilities Synplant has to offer. Greenhouse patches sound deep and murky, sometimes wishful and dreamy, but overall atmospheric and full of the typical and widely acclaimed Synplant character… In addition, some “One-Shot-FX” kits are included to let you produce some glitchy electro beats. The 24 bit samples were recorded through an analog mixing console to bring the “real world” flavour into our digital world – ready-to-use within this ReFill. And let´s not forget about he 35+ drum samples (as well as 11 Rex files highly processed with additional EQing, compressing…) from the MicroTonic PlugIn which has been recorded the same way as the Synplant samples…
Greenhouse Contents:
– 129 combinator patches full of the typical and widely acclaimed Synplant character.
– Deep, murky, evil but also wishful and dreamy are the main keywords.
– 114 NNXT patches containing the basic sounds which were used for the combinators, 7 Redrum kits.
– 432 Synplant samples, 392 MB uncompressed.
– 35+ drum samples & 11 Rex loops coming from the MicroTonic PlugIn.

Future Flow is a Reason ReFill containing 250 new, original patches for Thor
“Audiovapor is pleased to announce the release of the new Reason ReFill: Future Flow.
Product description:
Future Flow is a Reason ReFill containing 250 new, original patches for Thor. Every patch uses the Thor Pattern Sequencer and goes deep into the polysonic
depths of this powerful instrument. Each patch has been built from the ground up using a variety of pattern scales, synthesis combinations, and complex yet musical
modulations.
Instant Inspiration: The melodies generated by the Pattern Sequencer are sure to inspire and can be
used for a wide variety of musical styles including soundtrack, electro, house, pop, and more.
Customize To Your Sound: Every note step of the Pattern Sequencer is used in every patch to enable
maximum flexibility and user customization options. For example, by assigning rests, reversing, changing
pattern length, transposing up or down the midi keyboard, or changing the Pattern Sequencer rate the
user can personalize and alter the melodies in many different ways.
Expand It: The Thor Pattern Sequencer note pitch is routed to CV out, thus transforming Thor into an
arpeggiator that can trigger any other Reason instrument. Future Flow could then be regarded as
250 new 16 bar arpeggiator patterns to trigger or stack other Reason instruments.
The Designer: Every one of the 250 patches uses new, unique arpeggiated melodies and patches created
specifically for this product by Alan Stuart. The sounds range from mellow bell tones, acid-style lines,
raw detuned synth sounds, to beautiful analog-style melodies. Almost every patch uses the mod wheel and
2 Thor rotary knobs for increased expression possibilities.
Future Flow is now available from www.audiovapor.com for $19.99. Audio demo and a free demo ReFill of 25 patches is also available.”
SoundCells releases version 2 of Simple Sampling
At first Soundcells started working on a fun ReFill based on a Stylophone only, which was recorded for sampling purposes. Besides programming a patch that matches the real thing, the NNXT sampler in Reason was tweaked to go some extra steps and some fat funky clavinet-style patches caught by surprise. While producing the Stylofunk mini track (apart from the loop it’s entirely based on stylophone samples) some extra cool stuff was added to this ReFill: a “single-sample-rhodes”, a “single-sample-piano”, a “single-sample-kalimba” and a lot of other nifty stuff…
“Simple Sampling” gradually turned into a product full of “simple samples” coming from different sound sources. If you are looking for classic old-school sampled sounds instead of huge patches built by hundreds of individual samples, you will love this ReFill. Patches are super-fast loading, CPU-friendly and they are full of ‘retro’ character… Version 2 is an awesome update which adds 25 new combinator patches, some minor additions as well as reworked backdrops…
Simple Sampling Contents:
- 126 combinator patches for many different styles of music, subdivided in 6 folders: Bass, Drum Machines, FX & Atmo, Keys, Leads, Pads.
- A note by note (a2 – e4) sampled and looped Stylophone including it´s typical release click
- “Simple Samples” coming from the Rhodes Mark 1, Doepfer MS404, Supernova 2, microKORG, G2, Kawai K5000…
- The modules folder contains the basic NNXT patches which are used for the combinator sounds.
- 10 Rex loops, 5 Redrum kits

Review: eXode’s Club Soundset V1 Reason 5 Refill
We have taken a closer look at the new Reason Refill from eXode – Club Soundset V1. eXode is a well known producer of high quality Refills in the Propellerhead Reason community and has released several that are available for free download at the Propellerhead site.
To start of with, if you enjoy eXode´s previous Refills just as much as we do here at Stereoklang, then you wont be dissapointed with the Club Soundset V1 Refill. And don´t be fooled by the name – “Club” is not really a name that fully defines what this Refill is all about. In classic eXode spirit the Refill is filled with very nice high quality bass lines, pads and synth keys in the spirit of Moog, Waldorf, Korg etc. Fat sounding pad CMBs has always been a strong trademark of eXode and this Refill nicely follows in this tradition.
CMBs has always been the strength of eXode and to summarize this Refill will not make you dissapointed from that perspective, if you are producing any form of electro, synth or dance music you will definitely find something that triggers your inspiration in this Refill. Specifically we enjoy the bass synths and sequenced CMBs included. From one perspective one could have wished that there were more CMBs included, with somewhat more variations and perhaps more Combinators following in the tradition of eXode’s Sonic Waves Refill which included a number of really cool arpeggiated CMBs.
Below you can find some sound samples from the Club Soundset V1 Refill:
EXode – Club Soundset V1 – sound samples by Stereoklang Produktion
New to eXode, we believe at least, is the inclusion of 15 pre-sets for the Reason KONG drum machine. So based on this one weren´t really sure what to expect – would it be a bunch of inspiring FX drum synth sounds or more standard drum sounds. Well they are perhaps standard techno, EBM, club dance drums but they are very nice sounding and true to classic sounds of the 808 and similar sounding drum machnes. I think the real treat here is the way eXode has set up the pre-sets – the combination and the placing of the drums relative to the pads. We tried the pre-sets using an Akai MPC and it turned out to work our really well, which is good from a live drumming perspective.
Finally eXode has included a large chunk of Thor patches providing you with pleasure of really getting to know the Thor synth and the power it presents the user with. Among the 128 patches for the Thor you will for example here sounds reminiscent of the Sylenth and DUNE, we like 
Conclusively: Club Soundset V1 from eXode will be a nice edition to your Reason archive and we will definitely continue monitor upcoming releases from eXode, with great pleasure. Below you can read what eXode himself has to say about the Refill:
I have been at hard work designing sound that work well for the clubs.
You can listen to three teasers of this soundset on my soundcloud site. Also the original wav files are downloadable so that you can listen to them in all their uncompressed glory.
I’ve tried to show some of the sounds in a musical context and not just presets on parade. An ambition with this soundset was to create sounds for Reason that could rival with Sylenth1 and DUNE in terms of sound.
The Club Soundset V1 contains the following:
- 128 Thor patches
- 64 Combinator patches
- 12 drumkits for Kong

€25

Freebies when PLP celebrates 10 years
Join Peace Love Productions (PLP) as it celebrates its 10th year of specialized loop packs. For an entire decade, the company has released one pack of royalty-free loops after another, and now Peace Love Productions is giving away Metachemical’s Tough Breaks Reason ReFill for free. It’s a happy occasion for both PLP and its customers.
Tough Breaks is a Reason ReFill by Metachemical — the ideal collection for producers wanting to create hard-hitting break beat music. This collection includes drum sounds, basslines, synth riffs, and more; it boasts 163 loops, 33 drum one-shots, and 65 MIDI files (of drum beats, synth riffs, and basslines). The beats come with separated drum stems for each instrument, providing kicks, snares, percussion, hi-hats, and cymbals. Also included are synth riffs, basslines, and original sound effects. Likewise, Tough Breaks includes supporting MIDI files for select loops, and its included one-shot drums are mapped out in both EXS24 and Redrum.
Along with Tough Breaks, Peace Love Productions is also giving away a free 1 GB Taster collection to anyone who registers at the company’s Web site. The PLP Taster is a sampling of the many different genres that the loop provider has to offer. To receive this taster, visit peaceloveproductions.com, sign up for it, and verify your email address. A download link will be sent to your verified address immediately afterward.
The PLP Taster is a two-part download containing two zips with loops in 16-bit and 24-bit stereo ACIDized WAV. Genres include hip-hop, rock, trance, electro house, deep house, chillout, trance, techno, DJ scratches, industrial, ambient, and more.
According to the manufacturer, PLP was one the very first to offer specialized loop packs. While other companies were releasing audio sample CDs that you had to extract and edit your self, PLP was offering edited ACIDized loops on data discs.
Background check (courtesy of PLP): “PLP got its start by producing content for Sonic Foundry’s ACID Dj 3.0 back in 2000. One of the founders of PLP (Jason Donnelly, also known as DJ Puzzle) worked at Sonic Foundry from 1998 to 2000 and during Christmas break he received a phone call announcing he had just lost his dream job due to corporate downsizing. Thankfully he was kept on as a freelancer for many months after that editing and ACIDizing for their wonderful loop discs.
“The ACID DJ gig gave these two a nice little kick start and so they moved on to create even more underground dance loops. They ran a mail order business and printed the CDs as the orders came in. We thank you for supporting PLP and for helping us grow so that we could get inspired and in turn inspire others. To show our appreciation this whole time we have been giving back to the community. For over ten years without skipping a beat, so to speak, PLP has sent out 20 free loops every month to subscribers. Don’t forget to grab this months set by the way! Keeping it real for the sake of music.”
