Description:
Portable version of Reason 12 STANDALONE to run as a DAW from a USB flash drive or any other drive without installing the program and emulator R2R.
Can be run as a Rack plugin – but only through REAPER in this distribution (provided that no other Rack plugin is installed on the computer, see Additional Information).
This is an assembly based on the R2R release, so it also cannot work with projects of the licensed version.
The distribution consists of several files. They should be in one folder. Not all of them are required to download (download what you need).
Basic:
Reason12.exe – shortcut to launch Reason 12 STANDALONE
Reason12.dat – container with Reason 12 STANDALONE
Reason12.dat.alt – ThinApp system file (recommended)
taskkill all.cmd – forcefully close hung processes of portable Reason12 (highly recommended)
Additional:
Reason12Content.dat – Humana, Klang, Pangea, Radical Piano, Reason Drum Supply.rfl, Reason Loop Supply.rfl
RESynapseAudio.dat – a set of synthesizers and effects from Synapse Audio in RE format
RECacheBuilder.exe – to start displaying Synapse Audio RE in Reason
REAPER6.exe – to run Reason as a Rack plugin
REAPER6.exe.alt – ThinApp system file (recommended)
The first start can be long due to the scanning of VST plugins and all portable containers. Also, due to the copying of graphics into the cache, Reason 12 also does not work quickly. Plus running in a virtual container adds sluggishness. This cannot be avoided or corrected.
Add. information:
The portable version of Reason 12 STANDALONE can work in parallel with other Reason and VST2 x64 plugins installed on the computer.
Reason as a Rack plugin cannot work in parallel with other Rack plugins installed on the computer. This is due to the fact that REAPER will see two plugins at the same time at the same address – installed and portable. Reason as a Rack plugin is only launched via the portable REAPER in this distribution. To do this, run REAPER6.exe, scan VST3 plugins (the standard path is C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ VST3, regardless of the location of the portable folder) and run Reason Rack Plugin (Reason Studios) from the list of plugins.
