I don't know Reason at all, but as far as I was aware, it was just a sequencer with a synth and drums included in a monolithic piece of software. With the exception of a lightweight sampler plugin, qtractor can do all that using dssi or lv2 plugins and piano roll, with the extra advantage of being able to record audio. As far as I am aware, Lmms, Neil, Renoise and energyXT2 all have the same or better functionality as Reason. The only difference I can see is the GFX and the method of entering notes. Or am I missing something?
