Our history
1994
ReCycle
ReCycle’s instant success launches Propellerhead, founded by Ernst, Peter and Marcus. ReCycle changes how chopped samples and loops are used in music and is still and industry standard across DAWs.

Record introduces audio recording and editing with a large format mixing console and empowers music makers to create complete productions entirely within Reason.

Rack Extensions
Reason’s virtual Rack becomes a virtual playground of third party “Rack Extension” instruments and effects, expanding Reason from dozens of Rack devices to hundreds.

2019
