I think they're both great synths to have in your rack. 

Polysix is not as flexible as Mono/poly, but it is very fast to program and use. If you can get both then I would.

Yes well done - nice job!

I don't have the experience of many of the posters here, but I am very happy with my KRK VXT-6s.  I do wish they would go a bit deeper in bass, but the chances are I would get more room acoustic issues, so if I want to check the low/sub bass I pull out my KRK 8400 phones. The VST-6s are ported which...

Hi CV is definitely an area of confusion for many unfamiliar with the concept - just as MIDI is to people who have never used it. I raise MIDI as the two are rather similar in broad concept. MIDI carries control signals from one place to another. That is it. You then think: well, what might I use t...

I would highly recommend trialing Softube Dynamite.

"Snap" is it's middle name

I don't really understand raymondh's opinion that it's easier to lay down softsynth lines first and then replacing them with hardware. Maybe if you have hardware that is very cumbersome to program, with lots of menu diving and stuff taking you out of the creative process I could see that, or if it ...

Thanks Raymond and everyone else for your comments and input. I thought of buying a VST or two to change it up a bit. Back before REs my buddy was using predator in Ableton and I was blown away by the presets and fullness of the sound. It seems Reason has come a long way to parity with the other DA...

I frequently use hardware synths with Reason. It works well and I would recommend it, but, it isn't anywhere near as flexible and immediate as when you are using the software synths/RE's. The way I look at it, is the hardware synth has to do something inspiring, that would not be so easy with softwa...

Dunno about SDK stuff, but gosh this update is fantastic! The new unison spread mode is really excellent (as it is on QUAD), and the new patches are really excellent. Well done and thanks to Rob and Jon! This synth really is a beast. The other day I fired up Albino 3 (in my vst host) and while it di...

Wow! What an awesome update. Looking at the fix list, this addresses all my Reason 8 gripes!

I've been switching between Reason 7.1 (for collabs) and Reason 8 (solo stuff). Heavy sigh each time I have to go back to Reason 7.1 ! I was happy with the R7 browser _until_ I upgraded to 8.  A couple of R8 things still annoy me, but I'll be super happy the day I don't have to open R7 again. :)

You're all wrong.  The truth is, beginning April 1, all tracks uploaded to Discover will immediately be available for streaming by the public at large brought to you through a promotional link with Tidal... I had heard a variation of this - apparently Robin Thicke has been sifting through tracks on...

Microsoft is buying Propellerhead and adopting Reason as the Microsoft Digital Audio Workstation.  (I did wonder if the revised marketing and shut down of PUF was part of preparing the company for sale) Probably Microsoft's purchase was to compete with Apple Logic.  I imagine though that as Microsof...

That's very unfortunate, sorry to hear that.

Well if anyone starts giving you a hard time Brent over your moderation, let me know and I'll be right there with my candle and pitchfork!!

Nice job with this Bou.

I bought it, really like it.
It has a very different sound to the other available synths, and it's fun to program!

Ensoniq were a really innovative company.

I remember though that the mirage had a really horrible keyboard, was spongey.

Great sound though!

Fantastic track Patrick. Really polished production too.

Great performance and great sounds (as you know I'm a bit biased toward the 8P!)

Hi Brent A big thanks to YOU for taking the initiative to create and drive this forum. The success of the forum so far has been down to what you created, and you and the mod team do in supporting the discussions. This reminds me a bit of business. I think the front line staff of any company give awa...

I partially bought it for educational value. I like having the little picture, I have always wondered what some of those instruments look like!

That link seems to be broken..

It will be interesting for sure. Certainly back in the day the TX81Z had a very different character to the DX7, maybe this will be the new TX81Z!

Righty, added my profile now https://www.propellerheads.se/u/raymondh  

Quite a clever way they hook you into putting your music on their website. Must... resist....

Well I bought it and it really is excellent! Very inspiring. I bought it for the verbatim sounds, but the sample mangling and creative sound design is brilliant.

Well done Matt - oh and Happy Birthday!

I'm going to have to get this (even with the $NZD exchange rate!) - I can imagine that percussion + synth will make some good Jan Hammer/Miami Vice style music!!

Hi Julianna

It's a reflection on Pandora not you. Their loss.

Just like Decca back in the day
