Re: Enlightenspeed MeloDramatik in the shop

So, it's a Pattern Mutator alternative then? What are the main differences between the two?
Love the accent BTW :)

Re: The Best Reason Synth?

I don't know why but Europa never really hit home for me, Grain was the one that excited me when those two came along. As for market impact, community contributions, patch count etc Thor has to be the clear winner, it really is (or at least was) at heart of everything Reason. Today, though, it doesn...

Re: (POLL) - Will you buy Algoritm?

Haven't bought it yet, but probably will (on sale). Since I'm unfortunately more of a synth collector than a musician (hey, at least I'm honest), I can't really buy stuff at full price. Interested in Algorithm, even more so after trialing it - it's a meaty-sounding little fella -, but not over a hun...

Re: ReSpire down to £64 reduced from £189

The shop now shows €109 as the new, non-discounted price for ReSpire, I don't think this has been mentioned here. I've just finished a video review of Spire VST, see below (TLDW - it's a pretty great synth). Keep in mind the sound of the RE is indentical to the VST. There are some GUI issues, but th...

Re: Are all synths in Reason slow in changing presets?

Yes, they are all pretty slow compared to VSTs. Some devices are slower than others, the Combinator and any samplers of course being the slowest, but even Europa and Subtractor are slower than VSTs like Synthmaster, DUNE, Spire etc (not just the relatively simple Sylenth1). The more I use VSTs, the ...

Re: POLL RESULTS: Best synth plugins of 2020

I didn't realize that Vital was under "Vital Audio" and not just under his name, Matt Tytel (like it is for Helm and his Little LFO RE). Any reason to separate them? I wondered this as well. Perhaps some sort of collaboration? Or other business reasons. He's certainly come a long way from LittleLFO.

Contrats on the release of this interesting device.

At least the prices seem to change. I'm pretty sure both the Lectric Panda synths were 99 monetary units before, now 69.

Re: Rob papen predator

Trying it out seems cool whats your views is it one of the best synths in the shop ? Yes, I'd say it's pretty much a must-have if you like RE synths. It's versatile, and has an enormous preset library as well as a very flexible effects section which you can route any audio into. Predator RE is also...

Re: Rob Papen Arps

I don't use arps that much. I can't imagine that the RP Arps are better than the Dual Arps player, though. Are they? It seems like the Dual Arp player would have way more options than any built in synth arps. And if you have the Dual Arps, and the answer is that they are better (I honestly dont kno...

Re: Rob Papen Arps

Come on guys, he's clearly asking about the arpeggiator only. Quad and Vecto have identical arps, in fact they have lots of seemingly identical components. Vecto doesn't feature unison in its synth engine though, so you get no arp unison mode there obviously. Predator on the other hand is widely kno...

Re: Favorite RE release from 2018?

I wish there was a quick and easy way to see when all REs were first released. You're just going to have to go by memory. Of course the Prop Shop can show when each RE was released but unfortunately the release date changes after updates as well. So you can't always see when it was originally relea...
