Reason Refill Unpacker, Finally...

I knew someday, somebody would figure this out. I no longer use Reason as I've long since moved on to Cubase, but I still held on to all my refills in the hopes that someday, someone would figure it out and create a refill unpacker. That day has finally arrived. This tool lets you open any refill and extract its contents. This tool is NOT a commercial product. Rather its a simple tool that some kind soul took the time to finally figure out. Major props to the author.

Please note: You must have Reason 3.0 or better installed. Put this tool in your Reason install folder. Directions are also included in the zip. Enjoy!

Since I never worked with Reason, I've always asked myself what exactly is inside a refill. Are those synths presets, wav samples, or both?

Posted by Storyteller on Oct-17-2005 13:28:

indeed a combination of stuff, all kinds of presets and wav files

I can't get it to work for some reason,

I use an apple Powerbook
I originally installed Reason 3.0, now I'm running the upgrade Reason 3.0.4

This is what I do:

1. I unzip the file and a folder named "Refillunpacker" is created on my desktop.
2. I open the"Refillunpacker" folder and also open a second finder window.
3. I drag the .exe file into the Reason Folder (which is located in the Application section)
4. I look in the Reason folder (and the Okester and FSB refills are in still in there) and the .exe file is just sitting there. When I try to open it, it says that there's no default app to open it with.

How does the program work ?? I thought the refill format was a propeller head secret format.

sorry to bust your bubble here ... .EXE files will not open on ANY mac computer ... Ive got a powerbook too, so unless they come up with a mac version of this ... hang it up ... only way you'll get an .exe file to run on OSX is to have virtual [ Windows ] pc ... and then you'll have to reinstall reason ... for windows ... on the virtual Pc partition ...

.EXE FILES WILL NOT OPEN IN APPLE COMPUTERS ... and there are no programs to do open an .exe file with either ... hang it up buddy ...

as the name says it let's you unpack the refills, so people who like to use the sounds that are packed in the refills, but dont like to use reason, can now use refills too. they just unpack them and use the .wav files or the single reasonpatches.
the refillpacker does the opposite (obviously). it let's you make those refills.

what i dont understand is, since the unpacker doesn't work outside reason, why would anyone buy reason just to use the refills?
you can get the same (and better) sounds on sample cds too.
