I have a question:

The VST version does have color coding of the pads. The manual is a bit unclear regarding RE version. I assume (from the manual) that if the key commands are not applicable to the RE version, the possibility of color coding isn't either.

Is this correct or did I miss anything?

Another aspect which might be unsexy, but seems to be a nice "under the hood" improvement in R12: If I remember correctly, the RRPs in R11 were monolithic and clumsy. On a Mac ~350MB each (Instrument and FX). With R12 the developers seem to have modularised the code to a great extent. Meaning: Plugi...

I don't see how this would work... Ryan made a filter (or a processing chain - whatever you want to call it) by ear and without testing on multiple sound sources. RX1200 is an actual sampler with more things than a filter going on. We'd be comparing a wheel to a car. And that wheel is from a differ...

I'll take an actual device anyday - for looks, workflow, and some special undefinable mojo - but I just remembered Ryan did this: Slightly different device I think but I wonder how it compares. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4nykkJxBWk I had the same idea :lol: https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewto...

https://youtu.be/Esu4r1blog0 Is it just me, or is in the Decay example the original (SP-1200) more "clicky" in the first transient than the RX-1200? The latter sounds somewhat muffled and softer. Ok, this has been answered in the Youtube comments (glad to see/hear that I'm not the only one who real...

...and now it's free! (Even when I cost a few bucks, it was a bargain - and a nice & uncomplicated tool!)

After finding the "Dance Organ" preset (and combining it with Audiomatic "Bottom" preset) I keep playing "Push The Feeling On" for hours.

Please help...

Waiting for a shootout video by Ryan against his SP-12 combinator

When I visited them at Superbooth back in 2019 (?) they showcased Reason 10 at that time. And when I asked Mattias if they are aware of the DAW competition and the lack of sequencer features, he admitted the race was "lost" (not exactly his words, but that was the message). At that day I confirmed m...

I was thinking about 10 years in the future 13 years ago when I bought my first iPad. Apple have lots of patented concept drawings showing hybrid devices yet almost none of them have made it into production. Here's one from 15 years ago: https://appleinsider.com/articles/08/01/03/apple_filing_propo...

A laptop is portable and can be had for less than an iPad these days. The only advantage I can think of is the multitouch which often isn't needed. This is just the starting point for Apple, Think 10 years in the future - then you‘ll have hybrid devices: as a tablet on the go, and as stationary com...

May I ask why you have both Spire & Respire? For similar reasons as myself...I presume? For one...I always liked the instantaneous use of Rack EXT's and the price was right(not knowing of course, that the Respire version was a significant compromise.) Hopefully...I'll get that rent-to-own nonsense ...

Yeh they most likely will be showing people Objekt and what it is capable of

Objekt will be released on May 11th - same day as Superbooth opens their doors.

I still hold out hope that the developers will stick to their word that R12 is going to be the best Reason it can be but I personally wont be buying an upgrade until I see it first. Well, I can’t say anything bad about R12. I say this although I left Reason back in 2019 because of - you guessed it ...

More than willing to take part in this beta - just need them to send me the necessary hardware as I'm unable to test on this Intel CPU

It‘s always helpful to check if nothing is broken that worked before.

this seems overpriced at $89, especially given that dexed is out there for free and can also load DX7 patches The price tag discussion is usually futile, because there are far more examples of RE‘s with an excellent freeware VST replacement. E.g. Pultec or Mäag Eq‘s. But as you said: there are a lo...

The CV value resolution is very high, 32 bit float, just like the audio. So you can make very smooth changes even at extremely slow speeds
You might be thinking about MIDI CC?

And I always thought that CV would be only something like Midi CC in disguise.

There was an attempt some time ago:

Not sure if it fits your needs.

Mattias is watching us!

Interesting that RS chose to lead their thumbnail description with the standalone DAW followed by rack extensions. I may be reading too much into this but chances are that positioning was carefully considered. Two confessions: 1. I left Reason as a DAW in Spring 2019 after losing my confidence afte...

Ha ha, you re right.

I saw this as well - obviously some tasks left to do for the RS marketing staff.

EDIT:
Just re-checked the list: In the meantime they've done their homework.

In May the next Superbooth fair for synthesizers and electronics will take place in Berlin/Germany. https://www.superbooth.com/en/ And hell freezes over: while in the past two years Reason Studios didn’t attend (iirc I visited them at their booth last time in 2019?), they are now on the exhibitor li...

A one-time option could be to install the Trial of Logic Pro. During the pandemic Apple offered a fully working 90 days demo. Maybe it is still available.

It’s a bit fiddly if you want to remove the demo afterwards, but with the help from Google you can easily identify the folders.
