Re: VST to compete with Virus sounds?

Virus had/has some very sick sounds. I don’t own it, but I’ve heard & tried it. Was wondering if some VST synth today can compete? AND! The VST would not be very cpu hungry when running in Reason? Why I don’t just buy Virus? 1. The price is too high for me 2... Well the number 1 basically is the re...

Re: UJAM Beatmaker Vice

Another new VST from UJAM and another no-show of an accompanying Rack Extension. Looks like UJAM have definitely ditched RE development now :( Shame they couldn't just continue licensing the sounds to Propellerhead/Reason Studios to release as A-List devices instead... Beatmaker Vice does sound goo...

Re: Serum VST in Reason (is it stable, is it worthwile buying?)

How each plug handles dsp is different so when you decide to learn one gotta stick to it the whole way through to fully reap the benefits. Absolutely but if you're in Reason and you've got a great Wavetable synth there, it's worth trying out thoroughly to see if it does the job. I know it's not as ...

Re: Serum VST in Reason (is it stable, is it worthwile buying?)

Few days ago I tried Serum VST demo in Reason 11 (fell in love after watching hours and hours of tutorials on how to use it and its features). I consider buying this plugin in near future (to make my own sounds, not use presets). By the information I gathered over a week or so it is probably one of...

Hi Folks, Before I contact UJAM about the issues I've been having with this Rack Extension, I wondered if anyone else has been having problems? The symptoms I see are that if I try to sequence some material either using a player (typically Sequences by Robotic Bean), or the main Reason sequencer, t...

Re: Reason Studios...Fix the Sync All!!!! Do it!!! What are you thinking??!!

I kept chasing Propellerhead support about this (and asking them to delete REs I didn't want instead as an alternative) but it fell on deaf ears. I kept chasing it up so much that they eventually put me on a support blacklist meaning I cannot log any support tickets any more. Good luck getting Reas...

Re: Frustrated over a simple question/problem

I have been trying to solve a simple problem related to a song I am creating using reason suite. I’ve asked for help in a couple of the reason groups but it seems that people have trouble communicating and are not teachers and they talk in a lot of jargon. There is a massive thread related to my in...

Re: Where is Malstrom in the menu?

Re: New Plug-in from ujam – who wants the RE?

I’ve got both RE’s and VST versions, and although with an RE, it fits in the rack rather than just a floating VST window, certainly the VG Carbon VST is something I don’t regret buying. It certainly brings out your inner Axe attitude(!) and you can drag and drop interesting riffs direct to the sequ...

Re: Why doesn't Reason Studios sell old versions of Reason?

If anyone out there is still using Reason 3 or 4, it's either because their machines are too outdated to run anything better or because they stopped updating Reason once they implemented the Codemeter authorization routine that pretty much prevented piracy. Not necessarily, some people prefer older...

Joey, you may know this. I see Heavy, Phat and Solid are all on v2 in the VST world. Are the REs in the Reason Studios Shop all v2 as well?

Re: Do you want a Finisher RE?

That would be a brilliant addition to the rack if you think it can benefit from it, but since it's a free VST is it really worth your effort? You're thinking of Finisher Micro. Finisher NEO is a paid product. Joey, you may know this. I see Heavy, Phat and Solid are all on v2 in the VST world. Are t...

Re: Do you want a Finisher RE?

Something else I think could be fun with a RE version of Finisher NEO, if possible, would be to have mystery CV inputs that could be used to modulate some of the effects within the chains that the user otherwise doesn't have individual access to. Just a handful maybe. These however, would not be li...

Re: Do you want a Finisher RE?

Didn't realise Virtual Bassist had been updated too!

Hope we get Void RE first, then Finisher RE.

Are the new effects in Virtual Bassist 2 the same as the ones in Finisher?

Re: Samplers for Reason 9.5

I take umbrage at Kontakt even being called a Sampler. It's a sample playback device only. At least Reason actually has the ability for Redrum, Kong, NN-XT and NN-19 to be real Samplers; i.e. they can actually create samples; like the verb 'sampler' literally implies. When you say the only thing yo...

Re: Samplers for Reason 9.5

Not really how I want to use it. I think what the OP is looking for a sampler with the functionality of an MPC,where you record,chop,crop and drag samples on keys inside the editor for playing chops. Actually the only thing you can't do in Kontakt is record audio. Everything else can be done. Most ...
