Reason 8.2 came out today. It’s a free update for current Reason 8 users. I have been involved in testing this update. Here are the details concerning the update:

• Improved patch navigation with Revert Browse
• Lean, automatic installer, takes away manual updates
• Extended Remote support for Redrum
• More colors for tracks, channels and clips (see screenshot above!)
• Support for larger Rack Extensions
• Numerous fixes and improvements

The automatic installer is a huge new thing. You will notice it the next time Reason gets updated. The default soundbanks are now moved to a global folder. A safety solution because these soundbanks can now no longer mistakenly be deleted or overwritten by the end-user.

You can find the update here.
