Re: Ljekio's Feature Suggestions

Saving Remote Override Mapping- (got it) Saving Remote Override Mapping to text file or remotemap file. Can you clarify this one for me? My understanding is that any changes to Remote mapping had to be edited manually in the remote file, via text file. Are you saying that Reason can export a new re...

Re: So, Reason Studios wants feedback.

Just yesterday I was thinking to myself that, since the introduction of players, it seems a major focus has been put on visual design, to the detriment of functionality. I'll be working with something and think, "That's weird, why wouldn't they have added this or that functionality to such and such....

Re: How would you rate the R12 upgrade? (Upgraders and R+ subscribers only)

I give it a 4. I signed up for the free 7 days of Reason+(couldn't find the demo download link...imagine that). Companion was barely functional on my machine for some reason. It kept locking up/crashing when trying to update REs to Hi-res. I never did get them all updated. I have zero interest in so...

More styles for Combinator 2.0 - November Most of us spend too much time choosing the right button or knob to make our Combinators really pop.

Re: Is your online behavior and the way you interact with other people different to your behavior in real life?

I'd like to add that part of the issue seems to be the matter of formality when interacting online. I have always approached it as if I was talking to a close friend. This, naturally, assumes familiarity and understanding that one perhaps shouldn't assume. That's where I've run into trouble with it,...

Re: velocity to modwheel

You can do this with Love One's MIDI Compressor Player RE inside of Combinator. I would imagine you could also do it with Andrew Russell's Velocity Curve, Lectric Panda's UTL Modifier(free, btw), and Static Cling's Delta. May even be others.

I've said it before, Panda is Reason's spirit animal. He's chosen to stay down in the mines that Props abandoned years ago, because he knows that's where the most powerful resources of creativity and inspiration are uncovered.

Re: tools or toys?

RS would most likely only provide basic maps for only the built-in devices (and perhaps their own REs). So instead of creating maps I think a proper universal graphical map creation tool would be the better option as with such a tool we would be able to customise the maps to our own liking (and als...

Re: tools or toys?

The amount of $70 Players in particular is getting ridiculous. There's loads of overlap in them. It'd be so much better to just have less Players but more fully featured, and charge a small upgrade fee as major versions are released. Very happy RS have opted to go with Combi 2. Funny, I had roughly...

Re: Feature Requests - an update

I think the Combinator is one of the strongest elements Reason has going for it. There's so much that the Combinator can do, even in its current form. If they get this upgrade right, it will most definitely enhance workflow.

Re: Do you think reason will ever get a better sampler?

I'm afraid to say you're right. They add quantizing of audio with the slice edit and don't add transient time displays or transient sensitivity. They update the mixer in 7 and didn't add more sends, ganged faders, PDC (which is very needed for Parallel Processing which was added in that version) or...

All of them. You have to do it by making a remote map. Also if you want an automation lane you can't right click or act click a control, yiu have to choose it from the drop down in the sequencer. Complex still rools though Yes, but the question wasn't "how many controls are mappable or automatable"...

I've come up against diatonic oddities in most of the scale-based Players. I've spent hours trying to build player-based chains to properly modulate, with poor results accross the board. You always end up with anomalies. I think it's due to the fact that no one has really dealt with programming for ...
