Re: Ryuichi Sakamoto RIP

RIP.

I watched the wonderful documentary on his life and career, Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda, just last year. No idea where it's streaming these days, but I highly recommended it for those interested in his work who might have missed it.

Re: Rack Extension subscriptions in shop closing 13th of April

I recall one RE developer complaining about the low profit margins (especially after the 50% and sales tax were subtracted). But this was barely a year into it. I always thought it was JP ... Well, yeah, hmmm. <coughs>. Hehe. Probably was. It does sound a bit like me :lol: ;) Mind you, I don't thin...

Re: Rack Extension subscriptions in shop closing 13th of April

I don't know about that. $9/month probably wasn't worth it for the devs. One user's $9 could be split between up to 44 devs + Reason Studios. I mean the chances of someone subscribing to 44 $9 REs that are all by different devs is probably very slim, but it give an idea of how complex it could be. ...

(Acoustic/Pop) The Quixotes: "The Invisible Singer-Writer", an album

That's a wrap! My last "Quixotes" album. Finally tidied up and polished off all those demos knocking around from the past few years, and they are some of the best things I ever wrote (though not mixed :lol: ). It's the final distillation on everything I've learnt about mental health in the past fift...

Re: can I get a note to trigger at note off signal?

The NN-XT max release time of 200 seconds should be plenty for any length of non-looped release sample you might want. It's probably pretty rare that someone wants to trigger a looped section of a sample on key-off, and have it triggered indefinitely. Unless you like drones a lot! If you have a loo...

Re: can I get a note to trigger at note off signal?

Yeah as selig mentioned, this can be done with looping and using the FW-SUS play mode. I have found that I can set the Loop Start and Loop End to be the same. I can also set those to be the same as the sample start, if the start is the true start of the sample from silence just before. Here I have ...

New bug in 12.2.9. Definitely not in 12.2.8 (or whatever the previous stable table was). There's a scenario that might prevent the first bar of certain tracks of a song rendering correctly. It might very limited in nature, to just the singular VSTi series noted here, or it might be more prevalent. F...

If I buy a high ppi monitor (28" 4K/UHD 3840 x 2160), leave windows at 100% and scale in Reason, how do the vst's react, to the windows scaling or the reason scaling. My first tests seems that the vst's scale to windows so the vst's will be too small if I go the high ppi screen with Reason scale to...

As I had suggested some time ago in this post the next major Release version of Reason could go into a more modular release scheme.
