Re: Announcing the winners of the RX1200 Beatmaking Competition!

Actually, I loved the fact that I got to see how the others "wired" their systems: I've learned some neat tricks from them! I think it would be cool if that turned out to be a requirement of most competitions ( Reason file submitted, rack on display afterward. ) Those of us who "also ran" could real...

Re: RX1200 Beatmaking Competition

Managed to break off some time ( everything happening at once, and a relative coming to terms with staqe 4 liver cancer ). Everything is done by the book; I had some game music ( from an unreleased/abandoned game project ) floating around in my head, so I adapted it to the RX 1200. I think I'm in lo...

Re: RX1200 Beatmaking Competition

You can use only the samples included in the Factory Collection of the RX1200. The sample folder is located in the RX1200 folder where you find the presets. A thousand thank-you's! Everything is now clear enough that I can get rolling with my idea . No promises, but it looks and sounds like I just ...

Re: RX1200 Beatmaking Competition

I love the RX1200 - there is LOADS of possibility in there! If I want to load other samples ( I wanted to cross-pollenate some of your samples from other banks ) would that be legal for the competition? Or do I have to stick strictly with the banks as provided? When I click to load samples, RX1200 d...

Re: Why is no one interested in Song Challenges anymore?

I love the song challenges here. Sadly my schedule never seems to coincide with the actual challenges as they become available. I either find out about them too late ( like they've already passed! ) or just before it's too late, and I'm out of time before I start. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy them, no...

Re: Reason+ Sound Packs releases slowing down....

Well, to be fair, somebody ( somewhere, at some time ) has to assemble those things, test them, and finalize them for release. At first, there was a lineup of people wanting to get their releases in, and it seemed like a really 'happening' event. Then, as excitement wore down and those people decide...

Re: Pattern Mutator worth it?

I love the PM. As huggermugger stated previously, it doesn't generate patterns, but it will mutate the hell out of them. It not only allows for mutation, but saving your various mutations to one of eight slots, making it capable of playing your sequences "out of order", or more importantly "in the o...

Re: How good is Friktion for creating other sounds besides realistic string sounds?

I've found it to be incredibly easy to go "off the reservation" and make some fairly wild sounds, coupling the effects with varied control surfaces on my Akai MPK249. ( It has more than just a tonewheel and a pitch bender. ) It allows for a surprising amount of flexibility for a synthesizer that sup...

Beyond Underrated: Republik Handheld Percussion

On a heavy discount due to MM, I grabbed Republik Handheld Percussion because I remember that it boasts a good Kazoo, Samba Whistle, Pineapple, and Mug O' Tea. They totally failed to mention all of the other hundred-plus percussion sounds, noises and fun, and totally blew me away with the fact that ...

Re: New to using Reason - synth comparison questions please

I'm really curious what control surface (with or without keys) you use with Reason? Would be great to find one that integrates well and maybe does some DAW control stuff along with MIDI/CV and CC functionality. I have pared everything down to my Akai MPK249 and could not be happier! It has pretty m...

Re: Resonans in Rewards store

As for whether or not it's still relevant - it turns out that it is! I purchased it not long ago and discovered - much to my joy and amazement - that it will take external inputs for the "exciter". So I could "pump" their synth with an acoustic guitar, or a sawtooth buzz, or just about anything, and...

Reason isn't a traditional DAW. It's not going for parity with Cubase and Logic.
Very much this. Very, very much this. If people are interested in "Why?" perhaps they should read George Carlin's page-turner: "Why Hawaii and Norway are not near each other". (Informative on every page.)

Nope. All you need to do is log in to your RS account, download your Reason version, install it, check to make sure your computer is still authorized, then Sync All from your RE page/tab. After a bit of time (the license file getting re-written, and all of your REs being downloaded), you should be a...
