Re: Combinator 2 in rack plugin

Can confirm that at least in Ableton, any controls I create on the Combinator 2 panel can be mapped and automated. Works the same for VST3 and AU versions.

Re: looking for this specific feature in a (stock) synth

Yes, that's right. To use a note filter player like Denote in the OP's situation, you'd put as many instances of Denote as you need inside of a Combinator, with each would be attached to its own synth. The specific notes you want to pass to each synth would then be laid out in each corresponding ins...

Re: looking for this specific feature in a (stock) synth

Another way to do this is with the Denote player RE (https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack-extension/denote/). The advantage it would have over a combinator is that the notes that pass through it can be selected freely across the keyboard in multiple ranges instead of one single range. Would be he...

Re: VSL PRO plugin crashes reason on osx catalina

If you've not contacted VSL yet, they have some of the best customer services I've ever seen. I'd suggest sending them an email and trying that as a way to solve your problem also. Perhaps they would have some insight.

Send to support@vsl.co.at

Best of luck,

Re: Doing long ambient stuff. Tips?

Chord changes happen far less often than you think.
Chord changes outside of the key are your friend.
Simple melodic themes with wide intervals between notes are good.

Re: Anyone got a suggestion for a fav guitar tuner plug in?

This by far the most accurate tuner software I have ever seen. Beats the Peterson software by a mile IMO. I own roughly 30 guitars/basses and set them all up myself (plus dozens of others for friends). This is the tuner I use for setting intonation and for tuning whenever I record. https://www.ircam...

Re: R10 users: What would sweeten the deal on R11 for you?

Nothing for me personally. I abandoned Reason as DAW years ago and primarily use Live for songwriting and Logic for scoring. Bringing the rack into Live will be great. The type of music I write in Logic will make use of the rack very infrequently. I do wonder how Reason Studios (or whoever owns Reas...

Is Reason Rack plugin a VSTi, VST or both?

Could not find the answer to this so hopefully not being redundant here. Is the new Reason Rack Plugin a VSTi (processes midi data sent to it), a VST effect (processes audio sent to it) or both?

IMO, the two most important things since you said you're mostly (totally?) just playing power chords... 1. Run the sound through a good Impulse Response of a real cabinet/mic.
