It's too bad the selling of VSTs in the Reason shop is no longer available, because if that were in place it might be a little more feasible for Reason Studios to help support an integrated crossgrade between RE and VST. Maybe they could bring it back with the exception that the selling of VSTs is ...

If they want to create a cloud only DAW, all your RE will work.

Yeah, still hoping to see something like this. Or maybe REs in a hardware rack. That would be fun

Richard

To answer the question though, could you not do a "crossgrade" fee if RE users want to grab the equivalent VST version? That way you could price RE a bit cheaper. Yes, that would be the ideal solution. The issue is just that we have no automated way of doing this. Maybe we can work out something wi...

The idea of the RE is great, but got stuck years ago. Complex devices like Dune cannot be done as RE. All Synapse RE can be installed with a press of a button and are working on all major platforms. All Synapse VSTs must be installed manually and registered manually, and please, do not create a App...

I've completely stopped buying REs so my preference would be the one you haven't offered: lower VST prices! Almost all developers have some or even all their plug-ins on sale right now. Some discounts I've seen are excessive, this does not look healthy. It may feel great to purchase a plug-in at 90...

If Dune would have been available as RE, I would have bought it as RE. It is based on an earlier framework that is incompatible with RE unfortunately, also its GUI is very complex. Otherwise we would have released an RE for sure. At some point we thought about some kind of a DUNE 3 RE player with m...

But I'm even happier to hear you're considering releasing future REs!!!! :clap: :crazy: Yes, our plug-ins currently in development are still compatible with the RE format. We created our VST<>RE framework around 2015 or so and have not changed that since. Of course REs require a bunch of changes re...

Hi, I have a question to all Rack Extension fans, about pricing Rack Extensions vs their VST equivalents. Currently we employ the same price for our VST and REs, in order to enable free crossgrades between VST and RE. I was wondering whether it would make sense to give up on free crossgrades in the ...

Obsession:

For two reasons, the plugin as such, and secondly it is technically our best RE port (the UI was much more challenging to port than in other plugins)

Not directly, thumbnails are created by Reason. We'll have to ask them about this, thanks for bringing it up!

Here is the updated screen shot. I really need to be able to switch from LFO 1 and 2 lanes to fully utilize this synth from a hardware controller. You can remote-control LFO shape, just select Remote override from the main menu - it is just that custom controls don't have the right-click option. Ab...

Well the LFO buttons on the left are only for editing. The left most buttons for each are for viewing the parameters for LFO 1 or 2 and the right buttons for each are for viewing/editing steps for step mode. So no need to automate those. Being able to automate the LFO Shape though could be handy. I...

It would be cool though to have an RE that could replace the OP-X-Pro since the UI of that VST has super-jumpy knobs on my system. Tried to recreate one of the simpler brass patches on the Obsession (the 80s Brass III from the Borsetti patch collection) and it doesn't sound as good as the OPX, the ...

Yes RE is coming, we expect it to be out a few weeks after the VST/AU/AAX versions. This is because we cannot do a final build before having the factory library ready, and once we do, the RE still needs to pass through the extensive RS testing program, in addition to our own beta testing. The RE has...

And Adobe are making a ton of money using this model. Hence every other software company, and their new private equity backers, must be looking if it could work for them. There must be a reason it works for Adobe. I presume that their products were just too expensive for hobbyists back then. Now ev...

The demo movie demonstrates more than half the patches and gives all patch names at the end:



I think this is very transparent, and btw I think this is one of the best soundsets Kevin has ever made

Richard

Thanks for the explanation. May be that's why all vst sound "bigger" than re. Beside this i don't see any difference in sound quality, CPU utilisation seems to be the same, and for my old eyes the bigger UI of the vst version is an advantage. :geek: Yup, for this reason I still hope PH will make th...

Hey Richard! Unrelated to this thread but thought I'd ask - it's been a year and 1/2 since Dune 2.5 came out. Are there any plans for a Dune update anytime this year? Love that synth! Cheers At some point DUNE 3, though I cannot say when yet, it's a big project :) If we update DUNE 2 it will probab...

I compared the legend vst vs re version and i saw a major difference : the sound is louder in the vst version. That is no surprise. When making the VST version we neither knew that A) VST would come in Reason and B) what levels Propellerhead would choose, relative to the REs. Getting this right wou...

Since we've already made backdrops, here they are for those interested: http://www.synapse-audio.com/public/SynapseCombinatorBackdropDune2AllColors.zip Less work for Noel ;) The backdrops come in the various skin colors available. Example for the default skin: http://www.synapse-audio.com/public/d2b...

A big thanks to all participants! Note it was so close that not being 1st, 2nd or 3rd does not mean anything at all, there was a large pool of potential winners in our view and we simply had to make a choice. Perhaps there is a track that Reasontalk forum members feel strongly should have won, hence...

I just walked through all tracks for the first time (including the last minute additions), I can already tell this will be extremely hard to pick winners...

So great job everybody!!!!

Fantastic update Richard, now I'm sold and got my believe back in Reason ;-) Before I could run 15 instances of the Legend, after update 45! With this new technology, would it be possible to improve the performance of Antidote as well (not that it is bad in the first place)? Antidote uses a differe...

The update made a difference on the DSP bar for sure. I loaded up my track I wrote for the song challenge. Before the update the track stuttered like crazy in Reason, but now it plays everything through fine. The only weird thing I noticed was that one particular instrument (with Legend) sounded di...

We have updated The Legend to v1.0.3. This introduces major performance improvements, now the performance is much closer to the VST/AU. As I wrote earlier, somehow the vectorization (i.e. processing four voices in parallel) did not work nearly as well as in the VST, and finally we found out the reas...
