I’m not going to talk specifically about beta testing here, as doing so would be inappropriate, but using the current stable release build of Reason, I’m more of a tester still than a user based on the bugs and behaviour I see. I’m on an older Mac OS version, still supported by RS, but have enough t...

I have bugs I reported on day one of my involvement testing still awaiting a fix.

Either way, we are talking about an elusive and somewhat rare bug that was not so evident during testing and isn't easily reproducible either. Why do you keep on suggesting that bugs were not picked up during testing? Did you participate in the beta tests yourself, or is this speculation? I saw eno...

Although, the instability was rare enough to not reveal its full extent until it was rolled out to tens of thousands of users.

Are you saying that the beta testing didn't find any reproducible bugs prior to release, or that these all got fixed, and what was left was undiscovered by testing?

The inconsistent behaviour of things like wet/dry knobs across devices is part of the reason I requested parameter locking for patch browsing:

Something which could be achieved across all REs from what I can tell.

I like this too. The idea could very much be extended to allow RE developers to have snippets of their manual explaining button/control functionality which appear on roll over.

Yes there are limits on how far you can transpose the notes, and you're directly affected by how many slices each Rex file uses too. Another way to use Rex files is via Reason's NN-XT sampler. You can load slices from multiple files across the keyboard with a single device (no Combinator required). ...

So some information to help: I've attached a screenshot with an example combinator with two factory sound bank Dr. OctoRexes. The first one with 16 slices, the second one with 11. These play their slices contiguously on the keyboard, starting at C1 Dr OctoRex plays slices back from C1 on the keyboar...

Interesting that they've recommended to upgrade but their minimum specs for Reason 12 state macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later (64-bit). They should probably update the minimum software requirements to macOS 10.15 if the older OS versions don't work properly with R12. It's very much too late for th...

Update to Catalina.
They (props) recommended it and it solved quite a few problems that were making R12 unusable. I was about to get a refund in fact.

Device freeze for audio already exists, this should be complemented seamlessly with CV freeze. Device freeze implies the devices are completely disabled and use no cpu. This is not true for instruments, and not complete for effects. Lots of devices keep consuming CPU even when there's no midi inter...

Device freeze for audio already exists, this should be complemented seamlessly with CV freeze. See my request here: https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7526827 CV freeze could be accomplished by allowing automation channels in the sequencer for CV input ports on the back of devices. The...

For me the Player closest to being upgraded to achieve this is Sequences. If you look at this Player, you can see it has an empty slot of UI next to "CV2". Many of the other modifiers in the slots to the left of this can operate on per note data (conditions per note for example), so it should be pos...

Ah yes, thanks. And also, “keep Kong output channels set” whilst I remember !

The RE SDK provides a unique advantage over VSTs in the Reason rack - capacity to provide new features consistently across all Rack Extension devices. On the basis of this, I've love to see all automatable parameters have the capability to be locked and unlocked with a simple right click. Locking a ...

In the last Reason version, you could load combinator patches into Mix Channels to act as insert effects, effectively you could template effects for mix channels this way. This has been recently progressed in Reason 12 to allow multiple Combinators to be housed as inserts - excellent stuff. However,...

Does the dialog problem affect other floating windows too? Next time it happens, try opening the dialog to manage plugins or the tools window. For me when this occurs all floating windows have their backgrounds made grey.

I have reported this as a bug to Reason Studios already.

Its similar issues to those described by the OP that got me thinking of this feature request: https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7526827 Not strictly solving the problem mentioned here, but certainly going some way to helping. That and some grouping/folder system for stuff would be pre...

I use Reason in complex ways, and often find myself in a situation where some automation can be found in the main sequencer, and some CV signals provide modulation. In particular, CV generated via Players provides an issue to me, as often if I write notes to track from Players, their CV signals are ...

Software development is a bajillion times more complex than most people imagine, that's all that's at play here. There's a 0% chance they're merely refusing to develop features. They have finite time, and what might look like a simple button to you may involve more complexity than the entirety of y...

What I'd simply like to know is how much of the proposed R12 roadmap is actually going to be delivered? Yes, it was stated it was a plan and not a promise, but I was made to feel that if the plan was going to change it was going to be prioritisation of alternative features, not the wholesale postpon...

I hate that all the patches are lathed with copious amounts of reverb. Wouldn't it be nice if you could save "variants" of a patch? Or wouldn't it be nice if you could have more control over playing sample or patch previews? (because sometimes they sound ghastly) You know Reason Studios are uniquel...

This is also why I suggested saving buffer size per song, as if you increase this to allow a different more complex song to be finished, when you go back to your first song it'll sound different:

Yeah, don't get me wrong, perpetual license holders will be able to pay for this, but on top of the £199 currently being requested for the upgrade. If we take your rough cost estimate to be true: Reason+ and Bassline Generator: £99 for a year's sub. Reason Perpetual: £199 upgrade and £109 Bassline G...

Based on recent behaviour by RS, I cynically expect them to release this only for Reason+ subscribers. In the past, for both major and minor/point updates, new devices were typical benefits to upgrading a perpetual license, I genuinely fear this has gone now for owners of licenses. I appreciate mone...
