Re: Robotic Beans Sequences - can't change pattern from Reason sequencer.

How it works as expected: 1. Add Sequences Player 2. Add a note in Pattern 1 3. Add Pattern Automation with changes to Pattern 2, 3 etc. Yep, works as expected here as well. But editing the patterns after automation is set will break again. How it does not work 1. Add Sequences Player 2. Add Patter...

Re: Stuck notes from the dual arpeggiator in Reason 12

Well then I decided to upload the entire project, but that timed out because the file was too big (lots of audio tracks) - so I duplicated the project, deleted the audio tracks and of course now it doesn't repro. What a pain. Seems to be hard nut to crack. You could delete the audio tracks one be o...

Re: Imagine a Tracker-Player

The main advantage of trackers is speed in programming patterns. This is usually done by having a very strong focus on keyboard shortcuts and basically not using a mouse. Sadly the RE framework is rather badly suited for this usage paradigm. Also implementing the FX columns would be not that simple...

All players are Rack Extensions. Players were introduced as a further "device type" to RE SDK. The very first stock players from RS had not CV inputs and outputs that is true.

How is the setup on your side exactly? Dual Arp needs note input to play any notes. So are you saying that whenever the input note to Dual Arp is off/stopped and you see no playhead step progress in Dual Arp a note is still hanging and send to an instrument below the Dual Arp? Does On/off on the pl...

Re: RE Edit | Release

Great stuff. As a fellow software dev (it´s my day job) I can very much imagine how much work has been put into this tool.
I also used your other tools re-cmake, etc to kick start some REs for internal use and these are really helpful.

Re: Using players within blocks, what's your workflow?

One thing I do when using players and blocks is I add a pattern lane for the player in the block and select e. g. pattern 1. Yep, using player patterns is currently the only way to go afaics. The problem with that is that eight patterns (some have only four) is not enough when you use several block...

One thing I do when using players and blocks is I add a pattern lane for the player in the block and select e. g. pattern 1.

Re: Bassline Generator 1.1.0 Update

Wouldn't a restart/reset trigger button (and corresponding CV input) be a solution to this issue without compromising backwards compatibility? I think that would be a nice addition. Then users could retrigger BLG to restart after 5, 7, 12 steps, etc. More work for the user, but at least it gives th...

Re: playing Combinator synth with Player (eg Scales & Chords)

The matrix can be in or out of the combinator. But the matrix cv and gate need to go into the combi cv and gate. Then the SandC player will quantize your notes to the desired key. If you are using all "player" devices they can be placed on top of the combinator and will affect everything in the com...
