Well, I couldn't help but notice that there's space for more than just velocity and octave in those little tabs ;) Perhaps note repeat/ratcheting, probability, etc.?

Looking for PX7 patch!

Hi folks! Some of you may know the "RetroSound" Youtube channel. There's a logo at the beginning of every episode featuring a DX-7 sound that I'm after for months now. It's this metallic sound at the end of the logo (at ~0:03). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es0N131A0Bo A previous video on RetroSou...

Re: Any use for MacBook Pro Touch Bar in Reason?

Not Reason but here's someone finding use for it in Ableton Live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtYDsleo-fI&index=3&list=PLfnoTq3i--NSIsqO6UN43Df-6Jd5tBFv6 That's pretty cool! Using mostly the Onscreen-Keyboard I was always missing Pitch- and Mod-Wheels. Now I got them on the TouchBar :puf_smile: ...

Re: Any use for MacBook Pro Touch Bar in Reason?

Why do you get to install Reason on your company laptop? :o Well, besides my work as a film mixer, I do a lot of database programming for our company (in fact it covers most of the administration stuff by now), and so I got this Mac for my personal amusement and for software development ;) .

Any use for MacBook Pro Touch Bar in Reason?

My boss thought it was time for me to get a new Mac and so I got a brand new MB Pro today :puf_bigsmile: . After a bit of trouble getting my Reason license transferred (which was fixed by Props within an hour – thanks guys!!) I'm asking myself how I can benefit from the amazing Touch Bar now. Unfort...

Re: Rumble K2 Player and Rumble K2 Player Light released

Am I right that waveforms can't be selected individually for each oscillator? Owning a K1 II back in the 90s this seems pretty odd to me. I also miss the envelope delay which was used for some signature sounds.

KORG Wavestation not found??

I just got KORG Wavestation VST. It's installed in the VST-folder of my Mac, it's properly authorized and sometimes it shows up in the loading screen for a moment when Reason starts up... but I can't find it in Reason's browser. I also installed a couple of free stuff, some demos (mostly Arturia and...

Re: Reason is going DOWN HILL FAST - Zero CARE about Efficiency anymore.

Europa and Grain were developed as rack extensions, actually! Propellerhead's DSP programmers seem to just be remarkably good at figuring out where to compromise in order to create well-optimized instruments and effects that sound more CPU-intensive than they actually are. What do you mean with "de...

Re: Reason is going DOWN HILL FAST - Zero CARE about Efficiency anymore.

I think it's a problem of REs in general — that's my personal experience so far: REs and VSTs are more CPU demanding than Reason's built-in devices. Some developers may be better or more experienced in optimizing than others, but in general that's my observation. I just tested Europa and Grain — whi...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

What are the new synths: REs or built-in (like Subtractor, Thor etc.)? I would prefer the latter ones 'cause these run a lot better on my pretty old MB pro ;) ! PX7 and Parsec are very efficient too. Maybe, but as my laptop gets old I prefer to use the most CPU efficient instruments possible. I use...

Re: Robotic Bean presents Resonans, Reason`s first physical modelling synthesizer!

Funny enough some days ago I was thinking about looking for some physical modelling stuff when VST is available in Reason. No need to look any further, 'cause we got Resonans now :) ! This RE is awasome!! Congratulations to RB for this really great instrument. It came just in time to make a gift to ...

Re: Which VST Plug In(s)?

I like everything wavetable-related, so I'll have a look at Waldorf Nave (hoping it offers the original PPG wavetables too!). I'm also a fan of the old Korg Wavestation, so I'll definitely get it ('cause it's available for just 49€). And I just bought Waves S1 in advance, 'cause it's on sale and I r...

Re: Re-Strings

Just found a bug: 1. Create a RE-Strings in the Rack. It opens with the Init Patch playing ARP Quadra/ Phased Strings in Layer A leaving Layer B empty. 2. Play and hold a note. For my ears it sounds one octave too low. 3. Keep on playing the note and slowly turn the tune knob of Layer A down to -12...

Found this today on Youtube: it's Kraftwerk's first ever broadcasted concert in 1970 - just shortly after they founded! You'll probably find some likeness to later releases - even at this immature age ;) . By the way they created the first remote keyboard (or what is that thing that Ralf is playing?...

After smoking for about 30 years I switched to vaping last year. Much better for my health, my appartment doesn't smell like an exhaust pipe any longer and when waking up in the morning I don't have this dragon taste in my mouth :D .
