Re: A strange reason 12 bug on Mac

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.

Re: Reason 13 Gain Tool <—> Selig Gain

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.

Re: Auto Save Needed...PLEASE

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.

Re: Safari warning of Reasontalk password leak?

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...

Re: Safari warning of Reasontalk password leak?

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.

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

Re: controlling Alligator LFO

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.

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

Re: DDSP-VST – Neural Synthesis | Help

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.

Re: Trigger envelope based on probability?

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.

Re: Combinator programming - switching between 20 instruments with one Combi knob

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...

Re: Learning Thor Synthesizer

If you're completely new to synthesis, I would recommend starting with a fixed architecture synth like Subtractor (or a comparable VST).

I wouldn't worry about features at this point. You're not making a lifetime commitment to whatever synth you choose to learn first.
