Re: Do you get a lot of use out of the Reason players?

Much love for BeatMap here. It usually produces quite nice drum loops - at least more to my liking than the ready-to-use audio loops. But as stated before: use it for synths with percussion sounds. For example with the „Taiko Drums“ preset from Friktion. Instant Japanese drum performance! :thumbup:

@luckygreen: Thanks for the tip, but on VST side my go-to Widener is „Wider“ by Polyverse: https://polyversemusic.com/products/wider/ I don‘t know what they are doing, but this plugin has none of the drawbacks. I just works and is mono compatible. That‘s why I was interested in a equally good RE sol...

Re: Tonicmint ST Imager

Decent GUI and feature rich - looks like a good tool. But this made me hesitant: Stereoizer (makes stereo signal from mono signal by introducing small delay for a side) Ok, this is the Haas effect, well known. But with easy accessibility - why not? But this effect has two flaws (if major or minor is...

It has been a very productive year for me: 2 tracks. Apart from the exception during the corona lockdowns, my average is more like <1 per year.

You could also use the Pulsar LFO and set its waveform to „random“.

I think it has to do with the features the RE SDK provides. Probably it's currently impossible to implement.

Re: Red Rock Sound is giving away Orchestral Hall Reverb and Palette Colorizer

I think you should retry the test with a square wave. A sine may be too pure (aka no harmonics) to see any effect. A sine wave is the preferred way to test for any distortion/saturation, a square wave will tell you little. The whole point is to start with the most pure waveform possible such that I...

Re: Red Rock Sound is giving away Orchestral Hall Reverb and Palette Colorizer

While I always appreciate generous gifts (thanks for these freebies!), I am puzzled what the "Palette Colorizer" actually does. I know, I know: Just add this effect to the original signal and select the desired color. But when I checked the results on a sine wave with spectrum analyser and scope, it...

Re: Inphonik RX1200 RE (SP-1200 Emulation)

Hi, Aside from numpad keys, colors can also be set in the VST by using the dropdown menu in the sample editor. They're not applicable to the RE version, although this might change in the future. In the VST, they notably pave the way for future NKS integration. Cheers, Mathieu Hi Mathieu, Thanks for...

Re: Inphonik RX1200 RE (SP-1200 Emulation)

I have a question:

The VST version does have color coding of the pads. The manual is a bit unclear regarding RE version. I assume (from the manual) that if the key commands are not applicable to the RE version, the possibility of color coding isn't either.

Is this correct or did I miss anything?

Re: Reason 12 upgrade $67.19

Another aspect which might be unsexy, but seems to be a nice "under the hood" improvement in R12: If I remember correctly, the RRPs in R11 were monolithic and clumsy. On a Mac ~350MB each (Instrument and FX). With R12 the developers seem to have modularised the code to a great extent. Meaning: Plugi...
