I think that Reason will become a cloud based web app play space in the not so distant future. I also think that all devices exclusive to Reason will get ported before then. It is highly possible the platform itself will get bought out in favor of becoming a patch bay inside of some other DAW. I mea...

Likely not related, but we removed autodetection for a few very old keyboards and controllers in Reason 10.0.3 (I believe). The reason was that the autodetection process took quite a long time on startup (a time that grew longer with each new controller that was added to the list). These models, yo...

If you are applying your knob changes using wired CV and combinator programming at the same time, these two will be competing against each other, causing jitters in the process.

To me, this sounds like an awful lot of speculation (and I know some of the above statements to be untrue for sure) that is stated as if it were fact. In my humble opinion this is a sure way to start rumors that most probably are inaccurate. I'm not sure if this is really what you want to achieve b...

You're not alone in your confusion. I have spent a lot of time double checking melodies because of this.

I have heard of this. Trust me, Maschine is just fine. When the inventors of ReWire get it wrong, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Reason is locked to a code base dating back to the first release of version 1. This means that new code written into the program has to translate file structure and data that is nearly 20 years old. That stuff may have been clever back then but is long since outdated. Sure, there is new code, but it...

Yeah, I don't want to be that guy either, but I'll gladly save my money toward other software that works. What I would recommend is a test using a simple remote override to the button itself and no combi to see if the logic is faulty using all sorts of possible mappings. I'm dead serious when I say ...

Melody (feeling) first almost always. Sometimes it's either rhythm or "everything at once" epiphany, but mostly it's melody / mood first.

I use audacity. It takes about 5 seconds to convert the .wav. Plus, you'll have the .wav as well. My clients want both wav and mp3! Add up each of those 5 seconds for an entire year, however. Your point is taken but that 5 seconds should be happening during export, not "over again" or in addition t...

Guess I'm asking for to much huh...

Well, no. But I agree it feels like it.

Is there no way to do this in reason? Whenever I have an idea I open reason and try to lay it down quickly before I forget. I opened the software before plugging in my external drive so folder links I previously created are not seen until I restart the program. Surely there is a simple way to refre...

Would be great! The only thing I can imagine prevents that, however, is CV routing. How would you tell a device not to consume any DSP for audio processing but still output CV to connected devices? And what if that CV is derived from audio? I think the things that make Reason strong are also the th...

...I would like to use this post to ask some questions and hope to get some 'workarounds' that seem to be the only way to use Reason effectively, since there seems little to no chance of this powerful utility coming out of developmental hell and ever being updated. You're going to love these answer...

They cannot update the program in the ways that you want. It's more or less a 64-bit wrapper running a sandboxed emulation of the old 32-bit application at this point. Everything must serve backward compatibility to version 1, meaning nothing can or will change. Only new devices will be added. If I'...

The advantage of the computer is the ability to display what you need when you need it and PH don't seem to have grasped this as yet. This. There are many advantages to emulating real world situations in a computer. But it seems as though none of these are within their grasp. What it has felt like ...

Rex slices will always fire relative to the beginning of the loop or rex lane. So it's not a stretch of the entire audio. Each slice will play in time with project tempo according to the start position. If you think of the entire loop or lane as having a start of 0 and an end of 1 where each slice s...

This was a good challenge and I finally came up with a completely stock solution for you. Written in 9.5 format. Simply take Gate 1 and Gate 2 of "This - Last" BV512 and use them as your positive and negative triggers. This patch works best if the CV source is wrapped inside. I'm narrowing the delay...

Right On! I have used REASON for 7-8 years. And I realized that it's Propellerhead who pushed me away from REASON not the other way around. Reason never grew with me...sure it offered RE's and a few updates here and there ...but what's funny is that by the time Propellerhead implemented a long desi...

Hmm. I guess I am lacking a key piece of information here, but it seems to me this would be covered by:
cv_last = cv_this
cv_this = rgiv (n)
cv_diff = cv_this - cv_last

No? Use EMI to analyze it this way and spit out -1, 0, or 1 based on cv_diff to be mapped elsewhere?

To my surprise, proper use of trackpad gestures and mouse-wheel was one of the headline features in Live 10 introduced earlier this year. So yes - the developers should really pay attention to what users of other DAWs are saying (and themselves they should use other DAWs too!) so that they know wha...

And.... look at the behavior of Dr OctoRex, with handling Pattern Clips. 'Edit Automation' created a secondary lane in the sequencer (which for the way I use Rex, is totally redundant) AND between the now two lanes, there's no dividing line horizontally. That's just bad GUI design. 003.png Let me j...

The software is bottlenecked out of the box with the CPU Limit set at 80%. I just spoke with Mattias the other day on FB pointing out its an antiquated option that the last OS that would have benefited from it was Windows XP. Reason's problem has nothing to do with hardware but programming. The "CP...

Wow. Just wow. Makes me want to take a joke picture of my retail box on the sidewalk marked "FREE". Wasn't your thing, good on ya for moving on when something wasn't working. That means you'll actually release music.

blocked.jpeg As you can see, the "keep open/automate/..." is covering part of the Serum GUI that is necessary to fully use it, making it so I can't browse the presets, go the various other pages of Serum or make an init patch. It is basic errors in software development like this that have compelled...
