Re: Your favorite LFO RE?

Pulsar, ZFO, Ammo...in that order. My dream LFO: * Easy to choose between a lot of different shapes * Let me easily bend, shrink, modify the shape * Stereo (sync, free) and Lag control * Let my "draw in" if i want to change something (free draw, curves, etc.) * Different trigger modes, also usable ...

Your favorite LFO RE?

I think this is an interesting question to bring up. Which is your favorite LFO RE device in Reason and why? My go-to LFO so far has typically been 4 Phase LFO by Spectral Scan, mainly because it's LFO rate can go as low as 0.01 Hz for ultra-slow filter sweeps, plus, the Symmetry and Bias options ar...

Re: It's A Good Synth Day - Pigments 3 / Model 84

Do we need another Juno emulation??? No - but this one might be the best one yet. After comparing it with my Juno-106 I'd say it is the next-closest thing in software form to it. The Roland one might be just as close but you'd deal with the annoying Roland Cloud matters. The TAL Uno is a Juno-60 em...

The only feasible way is to get yourself a good remote map. http://www.reasonremoter.co.uk/ can give you a good starting point.
This looks promising but Arturia Keylab mkII is missing and it seems only for REs, not VSTs.

Re: Reason 11 & arturia (crashing & damaging my work)

No problems with Arturia VSTs here but they are in general quite heavy and need a second or two to even open, also when I test them in REAPER. Comparing them to other VSTs I feel they quite unwieldy and can be a drag to work with.

Re: Saving MIDI remote assignments of VSTs in a Combinator patch?

Unfortunately Remote overdrive assignments are saved with song file and not with individual patch. You can also make custom hardwired Remote mappings for any device you wish but for this you need to know how to create custom Remote codecs. Thanks for confirming! It makes actually sense to not store...

Saving MIDI remote assignments of VSTs in a Combinator patch?

I'm trying this: 1. Add a VST instrument and wrap it into a combinator 2. Use the remote button in the Reason VST popup window to assign all controls to faders and knobs on my controller keyboard 3.

Re: Could somebody make Softube Model 84 work on Reason 11?

A single instance of Model 84 consumes about 16% of CPU on my system (i9-10900K) without playing anything so yes, the Model 84 is quite heavy on the CPU. Adding additional instances doesn't increase this, at least not while not playing but I'm sure more voice processing will add to that. The aged lo...

Re: Could somebody make Softube Model 84 work on Reason 11?

It seems its VST3 only, can't make it work on Reason even using Bluecat patchwork. It shows up in BC Patchwork but it doesn't sound at all. I'm using it in R10 just fine. It's not VST3 only. It definitely gets blurry when you enlarge it. I emailed the Softube guys and they seemed clueless about it....

Re: Could somebody make Softube Model 84 work on Reason 11?

I just bought the Model 84 today and works fine for me in Reason 11. Maybe you have some trouble with iLok? I activated it directly on my PC through the iLok manager software. All sounds (almost) as pleasant as my original 106 as far as I can tell. Great addition! The only flaw I noticed is that it ...

I like that you painted it black! Never could stand the white case paint! But I still can't stand the glossy look of the Panorama! Looks like cheapo consumer audio devices for me and every friggin fingerprint looks terrible on it.

Re: Arturia Keylab 61 mkII

Reason includes a codec and remote map for the mkI version of the Keylab 61 which almost works with the mkII, but you have to add it manually. You can request Arturia to add proper integration with Reason by going here: https://www.arturia.com/support/askforhelp/issues To quote Arturia: “The more u...

@Loque I think the power settings (CPU voltage?) are OK. I let it run on AI settings in my BIOS.

@guifnky Thanks but I doubt it's that. RAM is maxed out actually with 64GB on an Asus Apex mainboard which only has two DRAM sockets.

Hi, I've upgraded to a totally newly built PC with a i9 10900K (10 cores) CPU recently and catching up installing my audio software just now.
