Re: Objekt + AI (like Synplant2)

Objekt really has a lot of potential, but it's super hard to program.
Look at how many Objekt refills there are in the shop (hint, zero)
Some sort of ai or ai based analysing tool for generating patches might be the answer then.

Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?

The RRP was over 4 years ago and RS haven't improved that since. So yeah probably due for some updates there. Cubase 12 and Ableton 12 both have fancy new tools to map your own hardware and customize it. The new Performer in Live even lets you create toggle buttons and horizontal faders! I don't thi...

Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?

I don't see what else is realistically left after the big ticket items of VST rack, HD makeover, VST3 and Apple Silicon are now done, and they have all of the FX and instruments covered by now too (whether paid or with built in devices) MPE & MIDI 2.0 support, clearly.

They'll very possibly (hopefully?) copy the recent trends of Ableton and Cubase updates and deliver a heap of workflow, sequencer and GUI updates.

You get back 5% of wherever you spend, as points.
So if you spend $100 that will net you 5 points.
Ok thanks.
I had the feeling I was being a bit optimistic! 😂
Gotta grind those points out!
I think you get bonus points for Reason upgrades, which does make the system more worthwhile.

While we’re here… I’ve got 95 credits. What do I buy to get 5 more? If it costs less than 25£ then it makes sense as I can then get something like Objekt free. As it is I can only get a 75 credit voucher w 95 credits. What a system…🙄 You get back 5% of wherever you spend, as points. So if you spend...

Re: Which Reason Devices would make it on their own

Europa VST could have worked but it was probably overpriced for what it is.
If they'd shipped it out at something like $50 it might have competed well against stuff like Synthmaster , rather than go head to head with the big dogs like Serum.

Re: Complex -1 Sequencer. How to play?

Initialize the device. Take the square wave from clock 1 and connect it to "step" . Take the gate output of the sequencer and connect it to the ADSR trig in. Take the "note" and connect it to "pitch" in the complex osc. Make sure that "clock follows main sequencer" is set to ON. And that's it. If yo...

Here's my entry. Seven instances of Dice were used, plus drums. I used presets and tweaked them, plus utilized a fair bit of modulation (it was so nice to have all those lovely CV inputs on the back)

Re: QOL Improvement: Scroll Racks Independently

Individual scroll would be useful.
So would having application zoom assignable to mouse wheel (plus a modifier like Shift or something)
Zoom way out to patch cables and then zoom straight back out to keep working on the synths.

Re: Critique my current mixing

Very cool track and catchy melody.
Personally i feel the drums are taking up too much space in the mix.... Levels and frequencies and detracting from the cool synth work, which i also feel needs to punch thru a bit harder at times.

Re: COMBINATOR 2.0 BACK PANEL CV INPUT??

Four targetable combi knobs really is my a pathetically small amount. Eight should have been the minimum. I'd like to hear RS reasoning on this limitation... was it not technically possible? Maybe because of backwards compatibility? Having the four new CV inputs does help but it's kinda limited in t...

No, they seem to have disabled that possibility. Hmm ... what happens if you run RRP inside of some other VST bridge?

Re: Synth patches with a fifth

Pentatonic, either major or minor is a very "safe" way to play with those added 5th patches, because you minimise any tones added outside of those scales.

Re: Why does RS not advertise RE’s besides their own? Genuine Question not criticism.

Steinberg actually do advertise third party synths/libraries for their Halion platform. I've seen this regularly on Facebook.
Ableton does similar.
I recall Reason doing this too but I didn't see anything when checking just now.

Re: Looking for "Reason to RRP" Workflow Ideas/Tips

They were asking $150 for Europa Vst which is kind of insane. Sure it's a nice synth but pretty shallow compared to Serum. Serum, for a similar price which has way more features and regular updates over the years vs Europa with I believe it's one update (adding wavetable loading) I'd say in the Vst...
