Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?

I'm hoping for a V2 of the MC-1 more cowbell. Imagine it having pitch control

Re: Your 3 best soft synths in 2023.

Can't believe I'm the first to vote for avenger..

So this is my top 3 pick:
Avenger
Dune 3
Spire

Arturia pigments comes as 4 because of the problematic CPU usage

Re: Is there a work around if third party VST parameters can't be automated?

Yes, with avenger it's the same. Use combinator.

I have reported this bug on 17/08/2017. Kind of sad

Re: Developer Love

If I had to pick one I'd choose synapse - great synths and very good support / communication

Further in top 5: arturia, valhalla DSP, fabfilter, vengeance

Re: How do you manage your Plugin Licenses/Keys ?

It's a pain.. I have an excel for the companies not having a central tool.

Now imagine if all VST developers would work together to have a common download platform with the "sync all" button from the rack extensions :?

Arturia V collection crossgrade for pigment owners

Great value if you ask me.. not sure what triggers the crossgrade. I have pigments and an audiofuse interface (which also includes analog lab intro).

Update: just found back the add. It's for pigment owners and until April 4th

Re: Dune 3

Wow, couldn't tell the difference between those test samples of each synth. Do you use Dune 3 as a VST2 in Reason DAW? If so, do you find it works well - no crashes etc.? I'm still waiting to hear back from Synapse if there's a VST2 demo I can try but if you're finding it's stable in Reason I might...

Highly recommended. It might miss some of the more exotic synthesis methods of other flagships, but the CPU efficiency and the sound quality is incredibe.

Re: Reason 12 has arrived

So.. I was not planning to update to R12, however since moving to QHD screen, it is unusable (I now get all the High DPI frustrations).In fact High DPI should be a non paying update for R11, it's just so basic. Just tried some of my main issues before I switched to studio one, using Reason as a rack...

Reason self contained to RRP

Hi, In the process of moving some songs from reason to studio one, I'm struggling with one thing particular: I used to save "self contained" in reason, yet in order to save patches you need to uncheck this. This is especially for drumkits a very painful process. Is there any easy way to save all sam...

Just waiting for the RE to be on sale...Currently it is a race between Arturia and Synapse. If i get a good offer from Arturia first, i skip Synapse.
I'd also take cpu usage into account. Synapse seems to be MUCH easier on CPU than arturia. This is based on my experience in pigments3 vs dune3.

Love the new features, really, no intentions to troll... but no word about improvements in the sequencer ? Only (possible) downer is it seems that the sequencer has now been 'parked'..

I tried version 2 at a friend's and it seemed incredible
The cpu usage is even more incredible :cool:
I do like the synth though just keep in mind it's even more cpu hungry than other modern do-it-all synths like avenger
