Looks like Reason Studios have partnered up with Akai. You can score Reason Intro for just $49 USD, which gets you Reason Rack Plugin to use in any DAW that supports VST3.

Maybe MPC Software will support VST3 soon?

Anyway, the offer ends December 25, 2019 - so get it while you can:

Coupon: INTROSAVE50

Akai and Reason Studios have partnered up to create this exclusive offer.
The Reason Rack is now available as a plugin, so you can access 33 instruments and effects in any DAW for 50% off.

Get the Reason Rack Plugin (VST3/AU) with Reason Intro and make music with all of Reason Intro’s instruments, effects and sounds in your DAW. Reason Intro is a fantastic expansion to your studio setup with its synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, MIDI effects, sampled instruments and creative effects.

In addition to the Reason Rack Plugin, when used standalone, Reason is a powerful virtual studio for fast and creative music production.

I can only dream (S1). And this would then make sense, conceding their software will never be a match and giving users integration with the DAW of their choice.

That is false.

So? It has everything to do with Akai and there are a lot of Reason fans here.

This offer is a limited time offer that just begun today, and ends December 25, 2019.

Charles, if you have nothing of value to contribute to the thread, then why are you even posting here other than to troll?

That's because Charles is making shit up again. Don't pay him any attention.

1. Go to the link, it mentions nothing about AKAI PRO partnership with this deal.
https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/prod ... -11-intro/

2. This guy received the offer because he bought an Akai Controller with lite software.

3. Here's the Akai Controller Press release 2018 for the Lite Version. The guy is referring to!

Yes, but your title says: Akai & Reason Studios have partnered (get Reason Intro $49) go post your click bait, AFFILIATE LINKS some where else. Also next time disclose, that your links are affiliated. IT'S DISHONEST!

Figured I'd give you a second response since you're panic editing your posts:

1. As I said before, this offer is a limited time offer that ends December 25. It's new, Charles. They literally just sent out the email. Looks like you're not on the mailing list... :lol: :nod:
2. That's lovely, but has ZERO to do with this post.
3. Again, has ZERO to do with this post.

You said - falsely - that the offer was "only for Akai Devices that came with REASON LITE 10." You seem more interested in trolling the post than offering anything of value. Why is that?
