NAMM: World of Akai Opens to Reason Users

Propellerhead Software today announced the development or Reload. Reload is a utility program for Mac OS X and Windows XP that allows Reason and ReCycle users to load Akai S1000//S3000 sound disks. Reload is also useful for anyone importing WAV files. Utilizing a very simple elegant interface, Reload makes one of the world's largest sound libraries available to Reason and Recycle.

Specific features include:

• Load complete Akai programs and samples, including full keyboard mapping and parameters, into the NNXT.
• Load Akai samples into the NN-19 and Redrum, including looping.
• Load samples into ReCycle, including looping parameters.

Reload will be a free download for registered Propellerhead users beginning in April 2003 and will be $49 for unregistered users.
