What the Reason Rack Instrument-Rack Extension Is For
This Rack Extension is designed to create sounds based on the real behavior of physical objects set into vibration. It is used both to produce expressive instruments (modeled impacts, marimbas and percussions, plucked or bowed strings, metallic resonators) and to generate modern sound materials (drones, zaps, unstable resonances, tonal FX). In composition, sound design, or music for picture, it becomes an excellent starting point for "playable" sounds that react to performance variations and automation.
Main Features
Physical Modeling: Object, Material, and Resonance
The core engine is based on selecting a type of object (plate, tube, rod, or string), then modeling its properties in real time. By adjusting the material, stiffness, and damping, you define how the object "sounds" and decays: sharp and short, round and woody, bright and metallic, or conversely unstable and grainy.
Three Excitation Modes to Vary Playing
The excitation section offers 3 types to radically change articulation: strike for sharp and percussive attacks, bow for sustained and expressive sounds, and continuous modulation for gradual movements, perfect for pads, drones, and evolving textures. The excitation force and position parameters allow you to refine dynamics and timbre, as if moving the point of impact or friction on the object.
Sound Sculpting: Resonator, Filter, and Drive
To fit the result into a mix, the instrument includes a filter section as well as an onboard Drive. The resonator, adjustable via its frequency (and the filter), helps focus energy on a specific harmonic area, accentuate a tonal character, or transform a simple excitation into a true melodic instrument. The Drive adds density, presence, and edge, useful both for giving relief to a percussion and for beefing up an electronic texture.
Advanced Patching in Reason: CV, Audio, and Rear Routing
Like any Rack Extension designed for Reason, integration goes beyond the front panel: CV and audio connections are available at the rear to build creative chains. Synchronize and animate parameters via CV, automate organic variations, or route audio to your favorite treatments within the Rack to create hybrid instruments and custom effects.

Questions frequently asked
Is Objekt compatible with my version of Reason?
This Rack Extension is compatible with Reason starting from version 6.5. It runs on Windows 10 64-bit or later, as well as macOS 10.12 64-bit or later.
What sounds can be created with the Reason Studios Objekt Physical Modeling Synthesizer?
Physical modeling is based on four selectable objects: plate, tube, rod, and string. Material, stiffness, and damping settings allow modeling of percussions, plucked strings, metallic resonances, or evolving textures.
What excitation modes are available?
Three modes are provided: strike, bow, and continuous modulation. Excitation strength and position alter the attack and timbre.
Can CV be used with Objekt in Reason?
CV and audio connections are accessible at the rear of the Rack. They allow animating parameters and routing the signal to other Reason effects.
How are delivery and activation handled?
Delivery is by email as a downloadable file. Online activation requires an Internet connection and allows simultaneous activation.
