There is no direct difference, except if you use parallel channels. The parallel signal is grabbed BEFORE the signal goes into the insert FX. I keep my FX "after" a device in a Combinator, that allows me to "bypass" all of them at once. You can do the same, if you add all your "after" fx into the "...

While "playing by the rules" might seem like the correct choice, we found both that there were plenty of products that did that and that in practice musicians tend to wander outside of a key quite a lot for much more interesting results. I'm so glad you guys had this attitude on this, it really mak...

There are good reasons to own hardware digital synths beyond the mistaken belief that they are inherently superior to all software. It's just a dang silly belief, all the more absurdly so considering these are digital synths to begin with. You own the hardware? Great, you own a nice piece of physica...

At least they are giving 50% off players now to Reason 12 owners.

Love it when people start entire threads just to make assertions about things they know absolutely nothing about.

Really nice job on this!

Exactly what the title says. It's ridiculous that in 2021 we need automation to create a 2-bar or 4-bar pattern in the drum sequencer, we had this with Redrum. The Variations and Auto-Switch option in Polystep are perfect for drum patterns, why don't they put them in the Drum Sequencer. And no, mak...

Robotic Bean Sequences is what I use for this. Just put it in 'stepped' mode and it advances with every note trigger, just like Renoise's stepper device (which I also love).

IF one reads & quotes the full statement I made properly, they would see that I say that Waves "ask" and that there is a path for non-payers, BUT (in my experience and that of others I have seen) it is not as easy as indicated. This led me to abandon the few Waves devices I had seeing they effectiv...

Dang, I really wanted Pattern Mutator for half off. Any previous year that would have been a sure thing. Now, we get nothing on black friday. WTF....

The #1 reason I stuck with Reason since v4 was rock solid stability. In all the polls and surveys I told them as much. So I think I’ll be moving to Logic after this debacle that is v12. And I can still use all my REs so there is a silver lining. Logic has a zillion issues and longsuffering userbase...

Hmm, I'm not having any of the graphics issues described in this thread, so this is clearly a per-system thing. Maybe a Windows thing? (I'm on Mac). My issue is that the Browser is a bit sluggish -- clicking any tab, it takes a moment for it to render all the items in that section (e.g. instruments,...

It needs Selig Gain and VMG-1 (free) to work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1w4717n029p343j/ComplexReverb.cmb.zip?dl=0 Here's a version using Thor instead: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ge7n9994bovq7p1/ComplexReverb_Thor.cmb.zip?dl=0 Thank you!! I appreciate this so much, awesome! It works perfectly, and s...

IMG_2807.PNG You just use the rear audio inputs and output :thumbup: This is not helpful, sorry. I'm aware of this approach, and as I mentioned in my post, the 'standard' routing like this doesn't work because you can't make Complex-1's output 100% wet. When doing it this way, you get a massive vol...

I know I'm not only person to feel this way, but Complex-1 has some really, really nice sounding reverbs inside it. All of them sound instantly musical and pleasing. I'd really like to use these Complex-1 reverbs both as a Send effect and as an insert (preferably Send, though). I've seen Selig menti...

I know the 'positive comments only' crowd will dislike this intensely, but I have to say: Mimic is a huge, staggering disappointment to me. It is an absolutely bog-standard 'modern era' sampler. It doesn't do anything novel or interesting or cute or exciting. Ableton Simpler does everything this doe...

There are sorts of "Meh". "Meh" in response to a closed beta version is a disclosure. Uh, no. Just no. It's a disclosure of an opinion, not of any information about the product being tested. It's also completely meaningless. There's not a chance in a million that RS would boot a beta tester for say...

I've seen conflicting things about VSTs in the rack. I think if the focus is to shift towards RRP then it would only make sense to give it VST support. I mean it would make Players a whole bunch more useful for a start! But you can already use the Players with third-party / non-reason instruments -...

per the video I just watched of Rian describing the new features, seems like it specifically will have: • New Sampler • Updated Combinator • Updated Browser • Hi-DPI graphics + scalable Which honestly sounds AMAZING to me! That's one of the 'fullest' updates in a long while, afaic. Can't wait to see...

You sound exactly like Comic Book Guy from Simpsons. "WELL ACTUALLY, (OTHER SYNTH) IS BETTER...." This is gonna shock the OP, but they are BOTH great. The matrices are not, in fact, identical. And many synths other than Algoritm have been inspired by the 'open matrix assignment' for operators in an ...

When Spectral Form = Sine you'll initially have no harmonics while these other six Form types are rich in harmonic content right away. This is so silly. You're quoting some Yamaha ad copy for their "FM-X" engine and then stating "see what Yamaha thinks about FM today!". Well duh, when trying to sel...

Subtractor! For real. It's so easy to get great sounds out of it. I love the prioritization of Velocity as a quick, built-in Modulation source to so many destinations. It makes creating dynamic, responsive patches dead simple, and encourages less common modulations -- velocity to scale the Frequency...

why people try to think that only Sine operators is a classic?? Oh I dunno, maybe because the inventor of this form of synthesis, John Chowning, created it this way: with Sine waves. His original paper, The Synthesis of Complex Audio Spectra by Means of Frequency Modulation, was the beginning of FM...

Very curious if these are indeed "sine only" operators. The folks who are instantly angry about that aren't really thinking things through 100%, I'd argue. This is at least a 7 operator synth, maybe 8, possibly NINE. The whole purpose of the additional operators is to create complex waveforms via mo...

UGHHH.

All their attention is on the new generation of users. The old timers continue to get the middle finger.

It's hardly with it, but: booooooooooo.
