No bypass for Gain? That's so crazy I never even noticed! There can't be many Reason effects without a bypass

The decision probably comes down to the Combinator's Bypass FX button. For this type of device, I can see arguments for and against disabling it when that button is pressed.

Plus we get back the old behavior of being able to browse through multiple patches, change our mind and then just hit "cancel" to go back to the original patch/setting (including any modifications made but not previously saved). I wouldn't necessarily count on this. The pre-R8 browser was a modal w...

I had this exact issue about a year ago. A few times a week, I'd quit reason and the song file would close but the program would remain open and require a force quit.
I submitted a bug report at the time, but it eventually went away on its own. I never figured out the cause...

The pictures only show a white and black interface, will there still be a dark blue one?

I wonder how many others use the blue theme... I've always used it myself since it's lower contrast. I find it easiest on the eyes when using a mix of light and dark colored plugins.

There's overlap, but there are still quite a few features that seem unique to Selig Gain (mute/fade, pan law, digital peak display, etc.).
There's also seemingly no bypass switch on Gain Tool.

I can see myself using both personally.

Yes, you can invoke and navigate the browser with keyboard only. That includes adding category and tag filters, and previewing patches, and picking patches.

Great news! The new browser sounds like a massive improvement.

Very nice! PolyTone looks like just the sort of modern VA that stock Reason could use. The Sidechain device looks great too. A couple questions that come to mind... - Does this floating browser let us create devices without touching the mouse? - Can the editor panel automatically open/close based on...

Saving currently blocks the UI and can take quite a while to complete, especially when using large multi-sampled NN-XT patches.
Agreed that auto-save would be nice, but they'd need to improve saving in general first.

The xkcd approach is good for the rare situation where you need a password memorized. But beyond that, it's very important to keep all passwords unique, which means using a password generator and manager (unless you have an incredible memory). The best password doesn't protect you from social engine...

I believe the warning just means the password itself was seen in a data leak. The leak may be from a different person's account on a completely different website, but the password itself is the same.

Has prioritized support always been a feature of Reason+?

No, it doesn't. This is how my template is saved: ...and this is how it opens after launching Reason: I have to re-align the windows every time, also in saved projects. It definitely works on both mac and windows for me. I tested it briefly, and I think the issue is with side and corner snapped win...

You need to use a song template. Reason saves the window dimensions as part of the song file.

Imitor is worth trying if you like creative delays. It's one of my favorite effects REs.

If the LFO isn't being used during the first bar of the song, you could also delay the CV signal. Either use an RE like Lolth (free) or use stock devices to convert to/from audio.

Thanks for the replies. Couldn't seem to get any.of these methods to work. Other than the sustain pedal. I have a keyboard with pads that can be changed to momentary so I've been using that. Just. When I cant do something it's like an itch. Just for clarity. Id like to press a button on my qwerty k...

You could use the "X" CV output of BeatMap and click "Spawn XY" to change the value.

Were the tracks you imported compressed? (MP3, AAC)
Those will balloon in size once they're imported.

Fwiw this issue seems to confirm my suspicion

Are you on an Apple silicon machine?
If so, it's possible the plugin was built only for Intel.
Now that Reason runs natively, Intel plugins won't load unless you switch back to Rosetta.

I posted a similar request a while ago: https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7525094 Technically, you can already use cmd-F to set focus to the search box at any time. So you can do cmd-I followed by cmd-F for instance, to search for an instrument. You can also use cmd-Left and cmd-Right...

This could be done using Drum Sequencer and Sweeper.
- Add one note at the start of a 16-step, 0.5x speed lane in Drum Sequencer with your desired probability.
- Attach the Gate Out CV for that lane to the Trig Envelope input of Sweeper.

Here's another method that lets you use a single knob to switch between 16 sources using stock devices. Like some other solutions mentioned, all devices will receive all notes, so it won't be the most performant. In this case, I'm using a Thor button and knob routed to Kong's gate and note CV inputs...

12.5.1 is out with a bunch of bug fixes

There are various mobile apps that let you use your phone as a numpad, if you want a cheap solution.
