reason plus survey

Has anyone completed the recent reason plus survey? https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/reasonplus I was a little concerned about some of the questions like how important is the add-on shop, rack extensions etc. The site is pushing subscription while almost hiding third party REs, Refills and purchase of...

Re: Accessibility of the browser panel

Here's a short video showing how difficult it is accessing the browser panel using OCR + NVDA, the only way to get text to speech (TTS) of the browser text as Reason 12 has no API for screen reader access to textual content. https://youtu.be/Q3_X0iZwvSA To get an idea of what zoom level I need, run ...

Re: Mix Channel Insert Effect Patches

I think the best way would be to have options to save channel presets which can optionally include inserts even connected devices perhaps the option to save groups of channel strips. At present the only way I know of doing this, is by saving song templates with all channels setup but this doesn't al...

Accessibility of the browser panel

As a visually impaired reason user, recent updates to the browser have made accessing the browser more difficult. Now no text inside this panel is accessible to screen readers not even via mouse over. I get poor results with OCR + NVDA and wondered if anyone knows what font is used in the browser pa...

Re: MIDI-CV Converter and MIDI Performance Data

The player device works a little differently to other devices, as it has an automatic gate/note connection between the player and the connected instrument. This allowing for note data to flow back and forth between the player and connected instrument while midi focus is on the instrument. However, t...

Re: MIDI-CV Converter and MIDI Performance Data

Yes, the player device only listens to midi note data, this is a shame and I hope this will be looked at in a future RE sdk update. On a side note, other devices, Instruments, Utilities and I believe Effects can listen to midi performance data and as my first rack extension I am looking building a u...

hardware interface scope & remote info file

While looking at the surface locking tab in options, I noted their is an option to lock a control surface to the hardware interface but even when it has midi focus, the export remote info is disabled. You can not create a sequencer track for the hardware interface, so surface locking seems to be the...

Re: Reason Remote MIDI Throughput

Just did a test with loopmidi, webmidi.js and custom lua codec/map sending 8194 short sysex messages. This took 34 seconds, around 241 sysex messages per second. I'll do some more tests to see if longer sysex messages take longer to send and may be test other midi messages like note/cc.

Hi, Has anyone done any timed testing of the remote system?

Re: Bassline Generator live stream - well worth watching

It is worth noting that the bassline generator is in the reward section of the prop shop, this is great to see, as it is normally held back until people have paid full price. I'm hoping to see reason upgrades and reason+ annual subscription added to the reward store next.

Re: About Improving Reason's Internal DAW
