Re: Free alternative to CV Tuner RE?

Probably overkill but I would give it a try via Players (CV to Player and back to CV) with

https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack ... layer-tap/

and Scales & Chords Player.

Cannot provide an example because I‘m not at home.

Re: Do you think reason will ever get a better sampler?

I agree that from the looks of it is seems to be more in line with Serato Sampler or Ableton Simpler than to be an updated NN-XT which could rival Kontakt. Which seems to be the smart decision as the market for fat and advanced sample libraries (romplers) has been saturated imho with Kontakt, Elast...

Re: Pultec Bass Trick

If it is just about the „Pultec Trick“ without sophisticated RE features inside Reason, then the free Ignite Amps PTeq-X VST does an excellent job on this.

How deep do you want your Combinators stacked?
No reason to have any limit other than RAM or CPU.

Re: Bypass key switches when using player devices

You could do the filtering with another player, e.g.:

https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack ... -modifier/

where you can set a filter range for notes.

There are other players out there which do similar tasks, but UTL Modifier is free. :-)

Re: Recreating Propellerhead (Reason Studios) ReBirth RB-338 with Reason Racks

RS could recreate it if it was sure to bring profits. They are closer to making it than other RE devs, they can reuse their own source code. Though, any RE dev could do that, it's not that complicated, rather a bunch of tedious work. They probably won't. Wasn't the iPad app removed from the store b...

Re: Future RE purchase concerns.

I'm just saying it's an objectively harmful move to not address it (even if that harm is relatively small), and that it's a valid concern. But I still cannot imagine how RS could resolve this. It is confirmed that you can load old format into new combinators. But it‘s obvious that you can‘t do so t...

a lot of included presets use the combinator, and not doing something about it objectively reduces the overall value of future REs. easy to be dismissive of other people's concerns when you're busy salivating over the new toy you'll be getting, I guess. Well, to put the middlefinger towards RS („I‘...

Re: Future RE purchase concerns.

If new RE's are forced into using the new CMBv2 then these devices are no longer fully compatible with older version of Reason, Sorry, that‘s nitpicking. As long as the RE doesn‘t require a certain SDK version it IS fully compatible with older versions of Reason. Which means: you can program to RE ...

So Reason users don’t use (or make) sampled acoustic or electric instruments any more? No flugelhorns, Fairlights, or Farfisas? Do users of other DAW‘s create complex multisampled libraries?

Re: Solo just one LANE?

I know it's a bad workaround, but: if the lanes are single Kong instruments/pads you could use the Solo button on Kong. That would solo the whole instrument, not the individual lane the OP is talking about. Are we talking of the same "Solo" button? I mean the individual Solo per pad. And yes: preco...

If there will ever be a R13. In my darkest moments I suspect that the announcement of R12 perpetual license was a chill pill. In one or two years they could switch to R+ only and omit version numbers.

I am quite bewildered why they felt the need to include a new sampler. Before vst support that would've made sense but since we can now run whatever vst2 plugin we want that ship has long sailed.

Mattias, you need to put a "phantom" R12 upgrade item in the shop so those of us already on R11 can buy a future R12 licence now at the sale prices. Otherwise you would seem to be discriminating against your most loyal customers - the ones who already bought R11. I would buy this in a heartbeat - e...
