Re: Offline authorization will be discontinued for R11 and earlier - This is serious

Just went though the whole process to make sure my ignition key was still working. Got R11 + rack extensions running on fresh install of zero-network windows 10. Ignition key still working after being in a drawer for 5+ years. Is there a way to download previous versions of Reason? I have a boxed c...

Re: Objekt has arrived!

Think I found a bug (a rather unpleasant one resulting in sudden, high-frequency volume spikes). Where should I send it?

Re: Reason 12.6 Released (Apple Silicon, Offline Mode)

The old computer authorization through codemeter is gone from what I understand. But unless you literally never connect your computer to the internet (not even for updates) you probably won’t notice. This is monumental. So they've changed the rules of ownership. Your license is now on a perpetual l...

Re: The new Instrument, "Objekt" is coming in May

Was Synchronous ever simultaneously available as built-in for the (at the time) latest version of Reason and as a paid add-on for older versions? That said, I think the main flaw in my original speculation is not that Objekt already has a placeholder in the shop, but the assumption that driving adop...

Re: The new Instrument, "Objekt" is coming in May

I'm assuming Objekt will work on R11 (except for any included combinator patches of course which will most likely use the new combinator). As far as I know there aren't any REs in the shop that requires R12. There is one potential angle where Objekt turns out to be a surprise built-in device in 12....

Re: Native Apple Silicon support and offline mode now in beta!

Anyone can confirm if PX7 got native version too? It is no longer for sale due licensing/patents (?) reasons but owners can still install it. All Rack Extensions, even ones that are no longer available for sale, get recompiled from source (the last step in building native code) on Reason Studios se...

Re: The new Instrument, "Objekt" is coming in May

It would be interesting to know who designed the UI and aesthetics for this thing. Was it the same person ? Because design of previous devices like old Reason stuff and newer one like Europa, Complex, Algoritm, etc is superior compared to this Objekt UI. Objekt's UI doesn't look very inviting and c...

Re: PX1 Dual FM Synth in the shop: New DX7/DX1 emulation, PX7 alternative

Interesting to finally see the mystery developer behind PX7, along with a de-Propellerheaded version of the synth. Given that the panel layouts appear to have the exact same coordinates for the same widgets *and* the author's site lists previous, unnamed work at what was formerly Propellerhead, I'd ...

Re: New (Free!) RE: Macro multi model synthesizer

Please provide a filter bypass switch so that when we want to use a seperate filter with this, we can bypass the internal filter. Often this Synth will be used with a seperate filter, so a filter bypass switch would be a good idea. When the Filter knob is turned all the way up, the filter is effect...

Re: Parsec 2 vst port

I think Reason Studios dipped its toes into self-contained VSTs of Rack Extensions with Europa, and then decided it was not the path they wanted to take, as Europa VST was discontinued with the release of Reason 11 in 2019. It would seem the Reason Rack Plugin effectively nixed any future VST versio...

Re: New Effect by Arturia Free until the 31st

I was able to activate it in Arturia Software Center... but not actually install it. There isn't even an install button!

I am really looking forward to using this, as a tape simulation was the one thing I thought was missing from the FX collection.
