DEEPFLIGHT
review by Penguin
- USA
Like: Deepflight is awesome. Exactly as
it was described, it is loaded with warm, complex
sounds. Everything from soft pads and orchestral
sounds to deep basses and great leads. It provides
an excellent atmosphere to tracks, and I would highly
recommend it to anyone looking for beautifully warm-toned
or thick sounding synths to add to their arrangements.
Dislike: The only problem I might suggest
is a lack of MORE! not because there was not plenty
of sounds, but because what is there is so great,
it leaves me wanting more sounds like this.
Grade:     5 points - excellent, highly recommended!

PROTON v2
review by ALEXANDROS
- Greece
Hello, my name is ALEXANDROS and I am a greek electronic
music composer. I have some singles lps cds and soundtracks
for movies in the last 23 years started with the original
monsters and now with software stuff. More info at
www.myspace.com/alexandroscontrolroom
Like: the good work you have done, I could
feel it from the first time I start recording some
notes for recreating some very old pieces from my
lp: DATA-alexandros (back from 1985). Now I will
use it again for my new cd and I think I must buy
also VIROLOGY AND ANALOG M VERSION 3 becauce before
5 years I sold my OBERHEIM MATRIX SIX RACK...THANK
YOU

CYBERVOX
review by Refusion
Project - China
Refusion Project uses Reason banks
products in CD production
Like: I just bought the Cybervox Refill
yesterday. As always, Andras was prompt to send
me my license number so I could download it.
If you're familiar with DeepFlight then you can
guess what the layout of Cybervox is. It's a complex
refill of not just sounds but deep, creative cominator
units that just beg you to explore the capabilities.
The sound quality of the samples in this refill
are immense. The combinator units are well-built
and even more fun comes from the fact that it provides
the units as templates to work with.
You'll get instant results with the patches but
you should understand that neither DeepFlight nor
Cybervox are for lazy people as the samples are
a bit limited in number compared to the usual 'massive'
refills out today. You've got to really get involved
with the system they set you up with to get really
creative sounds out of it. This is a good thing.
Dislike: Sound samples are bit limited
in number but you can use your own sound library
to enhance it.
Grade:     4 points - Good work, recommended!

VIROLOGY
review by Mattias (aka Another Soundscape) from
Sweden
Mattias is a composer, arranger
and sound engineer. Active on ocremix.org
Like: VIROLOGY is an exceptional ReFill.
Not only does it sample one of the greatest sounding
synths of all time and does a good job at it, they
also expand the possibilities of regular sampling.
Inside your Reason rack you can morph these high-quality
samples in to just about anything. The ReFill contains
presets to show you this but you will probably get
the most out of it if you program sounds yourself,
otherwise you will find the ammount of patches a
little sparse since there are many variations of
the same sound.
VIROLOGY's crisp, crunchy yet phat, warm and analogue
sound is a great asset to any electronic musicians
sound arsenal as well as any composer using Reason.
Dislike: However, I would've liked if they
included even more presets. Especially Combinators,
since there's many who will rely on these and/or
use these as bases to make new sounds. Maybe in
a future add-on refill?
Grade:     4 points - Good work, recommended!

proVITAMIN
review by RSchlep (Strictly
an amateur) - USA
Like: Outstanding set of sounds for the
money. I have been able to retire a number of more
expensive sounds. Worth it for the pianos, acoustic
guitars, strings, and some pads alone. Reasonbanks
seems to be interested in user feedback and promises
bug fixes.
Dislike: A few bugs such as in the 033 Acc
Bass. This has been reported and acknowledged. Some
sounds are just "OK" in my opinion.
Grade:     4 points - Good work, recommended!

VIROLOGY
review by Martin -
UK
Like: Great sounds! What more do i need
to say! Its all any of us want! The freezer is the
best part though
Dislike: Too many variations of a few great
sounds in virology! I would prefer six different
sounds rather than six versions of one great sound.

Monsters review by Bjorn
P. (techno lover)
- USA
Like:As a beginner producing techno, this
refill took my tracks to a whole new level. I love
the sounds of the synths on here, and I completely
stopped using other sounds. The sound quality is
great, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks!

Quadrasynth
Story review by KnowNaMe (Emo
Trance Producer) -
USA
Like: this refills is great. The sounds
are awsome, and they are vary usable in terms of
'out of the box' as well as being able to use them
as building blocks or as a starting point for your
own sounds.
I love the synths, pads (ohhhh, them 'cinema' pads...MMMMMMMM....)
and the 'world' sounds. The sounds have that good
analoge sound but at the same time are smooth and
organic. Highly recomend this refill.
Dislike: the Rhyrhmic folder could have
been bigger, but the sounds is has are awsome.
Grade:     5 points - excellent, highly recommended!

ORANGE2
review by KnowNaMe (Emo
Trance Producer) -
USA
Like: The thing i like about Orange2 is
its unlimited possibility. It comes from PinkNoise
so the quality is without say great. But wow, this
refill is a must have for any dance/trance/'techno'
producer. What you get is not built sounds, but
the blocks with which to build them. You do get
some awsome nnxt patches, but the meat is in the
'elements', the blocks that you use to build your
sounds with.
You're not 'stuck' so to speak with any one sound.
One thing i will say is, this is not a refill for
people who use a lot of presets and dont know how
to consturct sounds.
The patches is comes with (patches made by PinkNoise
using the 'elements') are friggin awsome, but its
just a small part of the refill, you will have a
lot of patches tha you will be like "what the
heck is this"? if you dont know how to tweek
and shape them.
Dislike: i swear im not just kissing butt!!!
this refill rocks!!! nothing i disliked!
Grade:     5 points - excellent, highly recommended!

VIROLOGY
review by defconx (defconxmusic.com)
- USA
Like: This is perhaps one of the most inspiring
ReFills I own. I am a "recreational Reason"
user and am always looking for new sounds to inspire
me. I own Analogue Monsters Vol X and Analog Night
so know the quality of Reason Banks ReFills. I am
not able to justify buying the Access Virus that
I want so decided to do the next best thing. I purchased
this plug in and started browsing around the sounds
to see what was available.
I was absolutely AMAZED at all of the sounds offered
in this ReFill. I have been trying to create sounds
that are more organic and flowing to add depth to
my songs. Exploring this ReFill was like the experience
of using the Combinator for the first time X 2.
There are great default patches that are easily
tweakable to create all new incredible sounds. It
has insipred me to spend more time in Reason. I
have a few songs in the works that revolve around
and were inspired by this ReFill. Check out "Vince"
at http://defconxmusic.com/music.php
If a friend owned Reason, this is the first ReFill
I would recommend they buy.
Dislike: That there are 9 more volumes available
:)
Grade:     5 points - excellent, highly recommended!

Quadrasynth
Story review by Daniel
Polwarth- UK
Like: I am new to reasonbanks work, but
having tried out their downloadable demos I was
tempted to go and buy Quadrasynth Story. It was
a trememdous purchase!
It has some great synth sounds that seem to capture
the electronic 'feel' I was looking for in my music.
Fantastic reproduction of the synth, and really
opens up my imagination to new possiblities.
Dislike: The downside of anything like this
is that you feel that you always want a little more
for your money. It costs about £24 download,
which may not seem a lot, but is really quite expensive
when you realise you are not getting anything other
than a single synth. This would not be a problem
so much if there was a greater variety in the patches
provided. I want more bang for my bucks, in other
words!
Grade:     4 points - Good work, recommended!

VIROLOGY
review by Mike S. -
USA
Like: Combinators are great. Strong basses,
leads, drums, and a few nice pads.
Dislike: I felt that the pads were lacking
after previous experience with a real virus b/c.
When I played the pads it was the most amazing ambient
experience ever, but that magic was not there in
this refill. There are still good pads and options
to create your own though.
Grade:     4 points - Good work, recommended!

VIROLOGY
review by Neil Pullen-
UK
Like: Love the access virus raw waves as
I'm interested in sound programming. The extra loops
and combinators/sounds are a bonus to me (though
a really good bonus as I use them as a tutorial
of how to make sounds!)
Dislike: I would have liked the raw waves
to be longer (e.g. maybe a few seconds in length)
before looping. Also I would have liked the samples
to be 24 bit.
Grade:     4 points - Good work, recommended!

VIROLOGY
review by Tony La Mesmer
- UK
Like: Sonically, it's magnificent - quality
sounds that are instantly recognisable as a Virus.
I had to sell my Virus-A synth when I upgraded to
an all-software studio set-up, so it's great to
be able to reaquaint myself with those harsh basses,
soaring leads and bubbbling arpeggios within Reason.
This Refill can throw out some extremely powerful
sounds - some of the basses in the NNXT Complex
patch set are truly amazing. It's all impressive
stuff - alongside the NNXT Complex patches, the
Dr.Rex loops and Combinator patches particularly
shine.
In all, the Virology is a great refill and it's
also fantastic value for money - I'm very pleased
with it..
Dislike: Dislike? Not much really, although
there could maybe have been some documentation (patch
lists, etc)included with the disc itself.
Grade:     5 points - excellent, highly recommended!

I love it !!!!
I wish there was more leads (but I know there will
