Propellerhead Software has announced the release of Reason 2.0. On the menu, more "machines" (Malström, NN-XT), more sounds (Orkester library), more power (detachable sequencer, OS X and multi-processors supports).

Based on a user which assists to a DP3 beta demo by Magic Dave in the US, here are some great new functions:

- a maintain click on the wiper, combined with a vertical move of the mouse, cause an horizontal zoom of the current view (as Nuendo does)
-improved soundbites and file managements
-illimited undos (saved with the project)
-memory snapshots of the current session, for making different versions, remixes, etc.
-remember the state of plugin's laying out
(order) for future use
-WAV and REX import/export ?
-some new surround plugins
-still not os-x compliant... (grrr...)
-improved MIDI editing (note trim by the head)
-sequencer stopped, you can match a tempo by hitting a key on your keyboard (as Cakewalk did)
Just for the word of mouth, Danny Elfmann (famous film score composer) is a fervent dp user, from the beginning...
