Re: Figure type functionality in Reason

This one fits the bill nicely for the rhythmic part at least (I'm pretty sure that Figure also used euclidean rhythms):

I guess rack extensions are called ”add-ons” nowadays.
Add-ons = Rack Extensions and ReFills.
Rack Extensions are still Rack Extensions. :puf_smile:

Re: Wheel and Mod CVs? Missing Player??

Players don't receive and MIDI CC information, only note on/off events. The CC's bypass the players and go directly to the instrument. So you have to rely on other devices for that.

Re: Matrix with 2 notes at once?

I'm curious why the Matrix can't be updated to include polyphony and note probability, etc? Is the Matrix just there for backward compatibility at this point? Same with the arpeggiator. Maybe it doesn't make sense to update this stuff when new stuff can be created, but it would be nice to see new f...

Re: Automate Combinator run switch

Run buttons are not supposed to be automated, because it means that devices could start playing just by moving the playhead around in Reason even when the main transport is stopped (since moving the playhead to a different automated value will immediately change the property on the device). Because...

Re: Zero Hybrid - different sound behavior in R11 vs R12 ?

A slight difference between R11 and R12 is that R12 now sends an audio reset (and all notes off) to devices when you switch presets, to ensure that you get rid of long tails and suff like that. Earlier, there was no 100% reliable way for RE developers to detect when Reason switched presets, we could...

Re: Robotic Bean - Portatron Tape Synthesizer (VST3)

By the way we've released Portatron 1.4.1. There was an issue in Bitwig (and possibly other hosts as well) where songs that used preset or portapack samples would not load correctly (the samples would be seen as "missing") after restarting the host. That is all taken care of now and the update can b...

Re: Robotic Bean - Portatron Tape Synthesizer (VST3)

My only complaint is that I would have preferred to have the effects also on the multi-out, giving the user the choice to mute them or not. Some of them really make the preset, so getting them dry in the multi-out ruins the sound. But the effects are send effects common to all the channels (i e all...

Re: Robotic Bean - Portatron Tape Synthesizer (VST3)

Regarding the Windows installation issues. I've managed to reproduce them now, and it turns out it's related to a change in Portatron's VST3 format: In earlier versions, we would install a plain plugin file named Portatron.vst3. When a host scans this plugin, it has to create a temporary instance of...

Yeah the RRP multiouts work as expected in Logic. So maybe the latest version of the Portatron AU wasn't properly replaced in the registry?
