MPE support plus one or two new devices plus a few little tweaks. Turns out I was over optimistic. I was a Reason user for many years. The lack of MPE support was why I switched to Logic. Reason is now one of the few DAWS without MPE support. The new features and devices look great - I hope others ...

This piece was originally recorded in Reason but has evolved over the years. It was remixed and remastered a few years ago for an Eddie Jobson tribute album and I replaced the drums (originally Reason Drum Kits) with a Superior Drummer kit. The violin and guitar are real and not played by me. I play...

Cool bass sounds!

Thanks very much for all the kind words. I am a big King Crimson fan and have been listening to them for many years.

This one goes back a few years. Most of the synth and bass sounds are from the Dave Smith Mopho. The guitar is real, drums are From the Reason Drum Kits Refill, piano is Reason Pianos and the organ is Revival.

Thanks very much!

This piece uses a slightly tweaked Friktion Solo Violin patch.

I had not thought of that! Maybe I should work on a Part 2...

Thanks!

Thanks very much!

Thank you!

Thanks very much for the kind words.

The sound comes in about 6 seconds in. Physical modeling can blur the lines between perception of our standard categories of instruments. Is that a custom sound or a preset? Thanks.

Thanks very much! I thought about extending the end but felt the song was long enough.

Thanks! So far, I think the SWAM plugins are the most realistic but Friktion has more synthesis capabilities and is polyphonic. And the realism on the bowing side is outstanding. I really like the Articulation settings to customize the touch response. I am hoping Reason will gain multidimensional po...

Thanks! I was fortunate enough to demo the LinnStrument shortly after it came out at NAMM and in this video. It is my favorite controller for everything except piano and organ.

This track uses two Friktion sounds in a duet format (the cello comes in a little later). I used a LinnStrument to play both parts.

Nice tune! It really shows the range of sounds you can get. I especially like the lead middle eastern guitar sound.

Cool tune!

I am stylistically all over the place and like progressive metal except for the vocals. Musically, it is quite good (in my view).

Thanks.

Thank you! I am a big RTF fan.

“Return To Reason” is an instrumental tune from a few years back. I used Radical Keys for the electric piano, Quad for the intro synth lead, Applied Acoustic System’s String Studio for the violin, Trillian for bass, Orange Tree Samples for lead guitar, and BFD Jazz and Funk Refill for the drums. The...

Excellent cover of a great tune!

My first Reason track in several years. Instrumental rock mixed and mastered in Reason with Ozone 8 on the master bus. The only RE used is Respire. I used Puliviriser on most tracks. VSTs include Superior Drummer 3, Lounge Lizard, Kontakt (Orange Tree Samples Evolution Infinity Guitar and Symphobia)...

Roli Seaboard works with Reason but it's a PITA to set up. I also found this: https://i.imgur.com/IZx5BI6.jpg While we wait for MPE, the EXP1 Expression Processor Rack Extension works extremely well with LinnStrument for expressive monophonic control. https://shop.propellerheads.se/rack-extension/e...

I recently shifted from Reason to Logic Pro X as my main DAW. The biggest advantage of Reason is workflow, in my view. The Blocks feature makes arranging extremely easy and intuitive. The rack metaphor is more flexible less cryptic than channel strips in Logic. I switched for other reasons (no pun i...

I appreciate the spirited discussion. If you are interested, I wrote a blog post on the subject with my conclusion called "Are Musicians Obsolete?"
