9/10 for Combinations Reason Refill!

 

Combinations, from the Loopmasters stable is absolutely overflowing with new sounds for Reason. Were not just talking about Combinator patches either - you'll find plenty of drum, synth and NN-XT presets here too, plus a few scream 4 and RV7000 patches.

As such , Combinations is one of the best value CDs we've seen in a long time. It's absolutely packed to the gills, and there's something here for pretty much everyone. From big, great sounding pads and polysnths to delicate electric pianos and vocals, the content seems to be never-ending and the quality level is generally very high.

The eponymous Combis aren't too bad either, and are set up to work so that the controls on the front panels perform useful tasks.

This is a refreshingly high-value Refill that gets an unqualified thumbs up!
