Seems that it will affect my music making just got a call from my boss, saying that we are ordered to stay home from work for 14 days with full pay. So I guess I will make more music at least out of boredom all sport and entertainment activities are also canceled during this time.

Lucky!

If the question is comparing the value of a synth against that of a rompler that has samples of synth sounds, I would prefer the synth. But I don’t think that’s a particularly useful comparison. Now if the question is whether I would be more likely to use a new synth or to use a new rompler that has...

So even if the bass track is nonexistent, the Drum Sequencer won’t switch patterns. Are you automatic the pattern select directly or using a Combinator rotary to do it? Also, it might be good if you could take a screenshot of the rack so maybe we could track down the issue.

That sounds weird. What happens if you delete the bass track altogether?

I think it would be useful for complex stacks that route CV signals out of the stack. Players inside Combinators wouldn’t have to require a device under them, since they would usually receive their MIDI from the Combinators input. Placing the Players outside works, but then the chain can’t be saved ...

Hey, I have a pretty solid Genelec sub. I’d be happy to help.

Would anyone who’s familiar with the guts of Reason know if offloading drawing to the GPU would also improve CPU performance? That would be a cool bonus for large projects.

RECORDING at high sample rates doesn’t yield any audible difference as far as I know. PROCESSING at high sample rates does usually yield an audible difference. The character of synthesis, filtering, and distortion will usually vary with sample rate. This is often true of older modules that don’t hav...

This is great stuff. I’d vote for this thread to be stickied.

Identify the 20% of your work that sucks up 80% of the time. For some people it’s chords and melody, for others it’s sound design, for others it’s mixing. Save and recall as much of that process as you can. For example, if you like to create your own drum and synth presets, spend a few hours (or day...

I feel the hashtag relates to me. Even if the new device is targeted to a style of work I don’t do, perhaps I could still use it for an unintended purpose. I’m interested in anything new really. As far as beat-making goes, it really comes down to genre and culture. For example, I think most folks in...

OP, the way I read your post is: “I was going to buy R11 Suite, but now I’m having second thoughts. The deal sounds nice at first, but on closer inspection it seems a little hollow. Am I off?” That’s a perfectly reasonable and understandable post in my opinion. We often outsource problem-solving to ...

There was this short thread in December from their Twitter feed and a response from someone on FB:
I’m not aware of any new information regarding this.

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought someone really was claiming ownership of all melodies, but I’m relieved that these guys are trying to demonstrate how ridiculous a lot of these lawsuits are by extending their premises to absurdity. I think a big problem is that most of the judges and juries ...

For what it’s worth, I thought the original post was perfectly useful the way it was initially formulated. A comparison chart that simply shows what features are present or lacking across DAWs is fair. This kind of work helps to cut through the marketing hype companies create pretending they’ve rein...

I'd like global automation-ready scale knobs or CV inputs for each of the parameters like velocity, length and probability, etc.

Yes. I don’t really need more stock devices, but I may be in the minority. I wish RS would focus solely on upgrading the architecture of Reason. (The Rack Plug-in is technically a workflow improvement, although the inability for instances to talk to each other and the lack of multiple MIDI-out kills...

Another similiar workaround solution is to use Volt SL1 CV Selector. That is a beautiful device! Might have to grab that one. Other workaround is to use Matrix and route CV Curve output with correct values set for patterns. With Matrix you can map Pattern selector to buttons. This is a genius solut...

I would use Aftermath Audio’s CV8X4 and Robotic Bean’s CV Select Switch. Both are free. Put your Drum Sequencer inside a Combinator. Route the CV output of the CV Select Switch to a Combinator CV input, set that input to unipolar, and use that input to control the Drum Sequencer Pattern select. Conn...

I’d be happy if duplicating devices didn’t add “COPY” every time. :lol: But seriously, a revamped Combinator is long overdue. I think Reason’s biggest strength is the CV system and more should be done to embrace that side of things. A new Combinator with user-definable macro types and an expanded mo...

I don’t mind using a preset if it works for the composition. I struggle against imposter syndrome, so I used to see synth presets as cheating, but I realized I didn’t feel that way about a sampled violin patch. No one cares if two composers use the same string section. So I try not to burden myself ...

The Amaj can be derived from the parallel key, B Minor. It would be based on the 7th degree of that scale. Chords from parallel keys can often be borrowed and used in a given progression. It’s also noteworthy that the F#sus4 could be in either B Major or B Minor because its 3rd is suspended. So in t...

There are no no-no's! I agree with all the above answers to your question, so I'll just add some stuff that I've learned over the years and hopefully some of this will be useful. It's not possible to cover all the ideas completely but I'll try to point out and bold the names of these ideas if you wa...

Great news! Thank you for your diligence and consideration. Looking forward to using the devices in the future.

As a last resort you could try editing the .repatch files directly. :twisted: Open them in a text editor and see if you find any obvious property names like "Pattern3" or something like that, then you could just try replacing that property with the corresponding property from the other repatch file...
