Re: Reason Automaton Question

Perhaps you could have the same guitar input on multiple channels and just automate the mutes? (Not at a computer atm so not sure if that’d work)

Re: Selig Audio 5 Year Anniversary Sale

What are good uses for Selig Gain? Lately I’ve been experimenting a lot with using external gear (mic pres, compressors, etc) as Reason channel inserts. Think External MIDI device, but External Hardware Insert. Latency considerations notwithstanding, it’s freaking amazing. I use a Selig Gain coming...

Seriously good stuff! You mention Boards of Canada and Autechre and you got my attention. Once I heard your demo I couldn’t unhear it.

Once I upgrade to 10 this will

Re: ELK by MIND Music Labs : A "music operating system"

Very interesting indeed. Looks like they support the same processor on the Beaglebone Black (it seems, though looks like they have a typo). The Beaglebone Black can get some pretty amazingly low latency going on (100µs or 0.1ms), as seen in the Bela project: https://bela.io/ Very cool! Though I bet ...

Hiya! I’ve been pretty quiet on the forum but am due for another update.

Re: playback trough stereo receiver and good speakers sounds very different (and not good)

This bit me before when I was gaining expertise in mixing—headphones will never show you phasing problems because one ear only hears one headphone speaker each. When you have normal monitors, both ears hear both speakers, and any phasing issues you have will rear their ugly head. Now if I ever mix o...

But even with this hybrid setup, 5k messages/sec. will be available. I couldn't try faster than 5k b/c I have a 5-message-per-event-loop structure set up, and was adding a 1ms delay in my event loop. Let me set a microsecond delay and we'll see just how fast this mofo will run! Maybe it'll go much ...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller

What is the available payload for each message, and does 5K messages/sec represents the total available system message bandwidth? The payload can be up to 8 bytes (64 bits), which isn't a lot--but if you think of each message being specific for one particular element within a device, nothing really...

Re: px7 vs. fm4

Does PX7 sound identical to the DX7 when you use converted patches? I just might get it if it does because FM8 just doesn’t cut it especially on more complex patches compared to the real thing. I tested this when the PX7 first appeared using patches from my TX-802 (rack mount DX7 mk2) - and they so...
