21st May 2015:
We have released a whole bunch of Reason Refills this month. Based on the original additional sound cartridges previously available for the ESQ-1.
There are six new refills (each containing 40 patches, arranged into 4 banks of ten sounds) to choose from so far:
Cartridge #1 = VPC-1
1) VPC-1A – 40 Sounds – 190MB
2) VPC-1B – 40 Sounds – 160MB
Cartridge #2 = VPC-2
3) VPC-2A – 40 Sounds – 147MB
4) VPC-2B – 40 Sounds – 195MB
Cartridge #3 = VPC-3
5) VPC-3A – 40 Sounds – 184MB
6) VPC-3B – 40 Sounds – 68MB
Each is based on the original cartridge sounds of the same name that were released in 1987.
Each sound has been reloaded and re-sampled in our ESQ-1 to bring you the closest re-samples possible, without you having to own one yourself.
