Good site for Reason Refills and for other platforms – C64, Pads, Apollo
Came across this site the other day and YES they had a very good collection of free refills (you need to sign up though, but it is free to register)
Just a tip on the way: I have been collecting refills for some 7-8 years by now and I have never purchased any commercial refills and still I today have a refill collection (and yes again only targeting the type of music I produce – electro, synth, EBM etc) closing in on 12Gigs – so make sure to surf around and download all the demo refills and free refills you can find and I assure you will never need to by a commercial one 
Some of the stuff that I liked was;
the Whale refill
the C64 refill
and the Apollo refill
But make sure to support all the good musicians out there here is one good source for starters:
Tuesday afternoon with a Nintendo Chip Reason Refill
Nintendo NES Wave Pack Demo Refill – 12MB zipped. An extremely limited but free version of the refill in our store.
My suggestion – downlaod the demo and find out for yourself if its useful
This is what the manufacturers saying about it;
Do you want to make chip tunes? Or integrate the sound of the Nintendo NES into your music? You do not have to buy the NES or mess around old gear and software that doesnt quite emulate that natural sound 8 bit sound. These are profesionally recorded samples at 24 bit 96khz bit rate directly from the NES output on the back of the machine. People will actually think you have an NES with midi. This CD Includes all wave files of every type of synthesis that the NES is capable of! Every Square wave, Sine, Noise, and even 8-bit percussive samples. Already pre-packed for use as reason refills, these raw uncompressed, unedited samples will give you the power of NES inside your computer x infinity.
These are right out of the back of the NES and professionally mastered. Song templates are for Reason 3.0. The chip collection philosophy is to give you the highest sample rate, and to limit the amount of digital artifacts in your final product. All WAVE files are exposed and editable! Can be imported into other samplers.
Electro Thor refill – a must have
Electro Thor is a collection of around 68 Fresh Sounding Electro synths. For all you electro fans out there, and YES they´re only available to Reason 4 users.
In my upcoming song Dopamin you can enjoy some of the new sounds
You can download the refill for free at CombinatorHQ, you only need to register

Reason Refills and more
Just thought I´d share some of my sources for finding high quality Refills for Reason. I know there is an endless line of good sources, but at least this is a start
Ambition is to post the ones that have free refills, but sometimes they will ask you to buy the whole pack, but need not worry often they´ve posted a demo refill that works equally well – at least for starters.
In this post I´ve included the list of sources that I´ve posted today, but make sure to come back becuase I will keep this updated in the sidebar as well with new ones as they appear.

Free drumkit
Why not download something for free, before the weekend starts
Sonicccouture has made their popular VA Brush Kit product available for free download. The 150mb Drum kit features mixable direct and ambient microphones, Drum roll emulation via the Roll Control KSP script, multiple velocity layers and articulations. The kit was recorded at Peter Gabriels Real World Studios in Bath, England.
Brush kit is available in Kontakt 2 + 3, Battery 2 + 3 format, and is taken from the larger VA Drums drum library.
Only wish I was more familiar with Kontakt…LOL
"Glitch Bleep IDM" Reason Refill
The “Glitch Bleep IDM” Reason Refill is the first refill catering to the leftfield electronica music maker.
Highlights include:
- Over 2500 individual hits, including Kicks, snares, bleeps, buzzes, hisses, clicks, clangs and glitched out stereo effects. Each sample has been level matched for ease of use and many have been micro edited for maximum impact.
- Over 400 IDM oriented rex files including baselines beats and effects loops
- Over 200 combinator patches including Drum Kits, multi layered Synth patches and Effects. Note that unlike some sound collections every knob and button on each combinator patch has been routed to something interesting for maximum tweakability.
- Over 150 Malstrom patches, 100 Subtractor patches and 90 ReDrum Kits.
While designed for IDM and leftfield electronica many house/techno, Hip Hop and industrial producers will find this refill a great addition to their sonic arsenal
