I've noticed that the GForce Virtual String Machine plug-in has exactly the same issue when you load in the Elka Rhapsody 490 sounds. I suspect that either: 1. The original machine(s) had this issue because of the circuitry design. 2. Both GForce VSM and JPS Space Organ used the same sample set from...

I've been looking for an Elka Rhapsody 610 emulation for years (no, DECADES). I'm an obsessive stringer fan, and love what Tangerine Dream did with the 610 in the 1970s, so I snapped up this great RRE in the Black Friday sale. I was wondering if there was a way to kill the background hum (~150 Hz) i...

Yes, it WAS just me being stupid!

When I clicked the 'CV Programmer' button, I got access to all the audio outs.

Many thanks for your speedy reply! I'll RTFM next time.

I'm a big fan of many of Cherry Audio's VSTs. I bought the Quadra as soon as it was released on Tuesday 23rd Nov 2021. They have bundled a version of it which provides a separate output pair for each section of the synth: Bass, Strings, Poly & Lead. I don't know if I'm just being stupid, but is ther...

Thanks! Bummer that the images are gone indeed. When searched google, i found this post and discussion on reddit about some saw shapes/ synths. Synth Comparison Vol. I - Saws On this post there's some comparison between the shapes, first one shown is from Serum. https://imgur.com/a/7D5yy Isn't a su...

In 10 years, that bug will be called character

Or "The unpredictable warmth of analog"

Having watched the video, I'd say the 'Oscillator Compensation' feature pretty much defeats analogue warmth in one fell swoop!

There was a monophonic sampler keyboard called the Movement Mimic in the early '80s.

Modwiggler thread

It was used by Psychic TV amongst others.

Out of interest, what is the sample rate and bit-depth of these stem files? What is the sample rate of your Reason session?

Software is just less integrated with hardware controllers. There's no reason why there aren't a few hardware controller standards for navigating VSTs. But we don't have that, and instead, have to navigate this all with the mouse. With a hardware synth, you might only have 4 knobs, but they are pag...

The main advantages of hardware from my PoV are: 1. No dependence on internet connectivity every time you switch on. This is especially important for live use. 2. (Related to point 1) No dependence on the continued existence of the company's servers to keep using the gear. 3. The fixed 1:1 relations...

I voted "Almost always", because sometimes I'll fire up Reason just to play about with a single device (internal or VST), so building a Combi around it makes no sense, when you can just pull it into the rack, use Insert FX, or sends from the main mixer. I come from an old school hardware studio back...

I just wanted to say that I was VERY pleased to read this. Great to see some transparency from RS. That is all!

Damn, I feel like I should know you, or maybe I DO know you and have forgotten! And I mean beyond knowing you from theses forums - I know Paul Nagel through Mike Metlay from Different Skies in the US, and I know you've played with Paul. Did we meet at Alfa Centauri years ago (2004) in Holland? Gett...

I think I qualify, as I got a 'free' R12 upgrade bundled when I bought the R11 Intro -> R11 full upgrade back in May 2021. The move from Intro to R11 'full' (NOT Suite) was worth the money (£199, IMSC) in itself, so I'm certainly not complaining about the cost. That said... The ONLY R12 feature whic...

Hey Grant, just had a quick flick through your youtube channel, some wonderful stuff on there! :clap: Very Tangerine Dream like music which is all good with me and looks like some great reason tutorials thrown in. Will be diving into it for sure. Thank you! Yes, we're unashamedly inspired by 1970s-...

I would probably just continue using R11 with your band mates for the next few weeks/months while they make up their minds over the upgrade

It's all academic now, as Colin upgraded to Reason 12 late last night.

Thanks for the speedy response, people! :thumbup: That's......disappointing. :( It would have been nice to have both the Original Combinator AND Combi 2 available for just such a situation. It will mean that sound designers working in R12 can't create Combis for all users, even if they're only utili...

If I create a new Combi patch in R12, what will be the response if a user with an earlier version of Reason tries to load it? Will the earlier Reason just do "Computer says no", or will it try its best to implement it to the best of its ability? If I was particularly careful about the structure of a...

Thanks for all the kind words! There's still quite an active Berlin School tribute scene these days, if you know where to look. My personal fave example is Redshift. If you haven't heard them, you're in for a treat! Of course, Mark Shreeve uses a genuine Moog IIIc to do all the sequencing! Redshift ...

I was relegated to using my old laptop in the living room on Saturday, so I was forced into using Reason 4.0. After overcoming the shock of being deprived of my most beloved third-party plug-ins, I found it very easy to return to the 'limited but unlimited' old-skool workflow of internal devices and...

This was my first truly finished track (April 2020), after years of mucking about in various versions of Reason. Once that was in the can, I went through a phase of intense creativity and productivity which resulted in a whole album's worth of material by July 2020. Pyramid of Symex - a psychedelic ...

Could some of the criticism of (early) Reason be to do with aliasing? SubTractor can be the source of some quite nasty aliasing, when extremely high pitches are used in combination with harmonically rich waveforms. This is made even more evident if you switch to "Lo BW" mode. However, the fact that ...

Thor is my single fave synth of all time. This includes hardware (analogue, digital, hybrid or VA) and software. Thor is always my go-to for sound design, unless I want a unique feature of something like the Minimoog, where I'll use the Arturia Mini V instead. I would definitely be interested in run...

100% Thor for me. It's THE single best synth I've ever owned, be it analogue, digital, VA or soft-synth. I've been an owner of many hardware synths beginning in the early '80s and now I do everything 'in the box' in Reason. Thor is always my go-to synth when I'm coming up with new sounds or trying t...

I am 49 and my first keyboard was a Casio VL Tone

53, here. The VL-Tone was my THIRD keyboard. First was a Waddington's Compute-A-Tune and second was an EDP Wasp.
