Annoying bug when using the on-screen keyboard with VSTs - Reason 9.5.2

Hi! I've noticed a very annoying bug (for me at least) in Reason 9.5.2. The bug is the following one: When a device (stock, RE, VST) is created, you normally can play a few notes on it using the on-screen keyboard (the one that appears via F4) i.e. using the keys on your computer keyboard. But, in t...

Re: TM-1 Trigger Multiplexer in the shop

Funny thing: when I saw TM-1, I thought it would make using Microtonic easier, since, as a VST, it can only accept Gate and Note CV signals... Then I looked at the demo video for TM-1 where Microtonic is precisely used as an example! Nice!

Re: Propellerhead Releases Reason 10

Looks like they have: - Devices can now be added to favorite lists Does that mean that Rack Extensions and stock devices can be sorted using those lists? Is that possible for example to make a "filter" list and put all filter REs and devices into it? Is it possible to put one device into two or mor...

Re: POLL: Will you embrace the RE Subscription Model?

I don't really want to rent RE's but it could be useful for a second "try." But at €9 you'd really need to want to try it! I guess you could save them up, I dunno. I prefer to buy too, so I also see this a an option to retry some REs. There's a couple of REs I've tried a little too fast, so 9$ to r...

Re: Better than Vocaloid?

I'm bumbing this thread to ask a question. Does Vocaloid work as a VST instrument? It seems like a standalone application... The Yamaha website only talks about a version that works with Cubase...

And, if it can work as a VST instrument, anyone tried it in Reason? :D

Poll: Since Reason introduced VST support, where did your plugin money go?

A little curiosity I have! Since the release of Reason 9.5, which introduced the possibility to use VSTs into Reason, how would you evaluate the repartition of the money you have spent on plugins between Rack Extensions and VST plugins? The available answers are divided into two sub-categories: I th...

Re: Pricing of Europa and Grain in the Prop Shop

Pulsar and Audiomatic were also previously available as separate purc...

Re: ReStereo - 2 stars in the shop - Is it really that bad?

There is an "historical" reason why its rating is so low... ReStereo is an early Rack Extension, released in 2012, when everyone was really overexcited with Rack Extensions (including myself!). Because every RE released at this moment received a lot of attention and was tried "compulsively" by many ...

Re: What is the lowest price A-list Acoustic/Backline Rig has been on sale at?

The lowest price for the Rigs in their current form has been 149$. I say "in their current form", because Rigs have been expanded at one point. What is currently available are "Rigs version 2", which contain more REs (and more valuable ones) than their original versions. It's possible that you find ...

New low (I think) of 49 Earth coins for Antidote, which is still probably my fave all-round synth. Grab it! Also, it just shows that Synapse are prepared to do deep discounts on synths (Legend!). But it might take a few years. Grab VK-2 and a new computer to power it while you wait? I think too it'...

Thanks for pointing that out! I myself own Combo X-705, but never really paid attention to what was on its back... I got some surprises, like cooler distortion! It seems that Jiggery-Pokey's REs are to be flipped to fully grab their potential! :)

Re: Be honest, do you use presets often?

I've never used presets since I first got Reason many years ago. For me, one big part of the fun of using synthesizers is to design my own sounds, which are often minimalistic, i.e. easy to design. I've always seen presets as some kind of demonstrations of what you can do with a synth, but not as so...

Ok, first up Sync All won't be possible outside of Propellerville because all your licences will need to be registered and stored on different company servers - so this is a no go unless a shop offers it specifically (not sure if the Prop Shop does this for VST's either) - it would be a huge hassle...
