Re: Drum Sequencer that auto change patterns in a sequence

For reference, this is a form of clip launching which is nothing new (again, Studio Vision Pro did this in the 1990s), and frankly it's a bit surprising no device from Reason Studios has done anything like this to date. Clip Launcher, sigh. I dont know, but it seems the number of daws that dont hav...

Re: RRP limitations

Drop in a Kong into Reason and go remote_info.txt through the menu. It shows around 1000 parameters that can be remoted with Reason. Now drop in a Kong into RRP and count the available Parameters. It should be less, alot less and as i said last time i checked Btwig showed like the first 250 paramet...

Re: RRP limitations

Thats what i meant. I have a beautiful launchpad map for Step Note Recorder but no way i could translate that to RRP even if i digged deep into the other DAWs API. Mmm, I am not really sure which parameters you are referring to. As far as I know Bitwig shows all parameters. At least I remember than...

Re: RRP limitations

Last time i checked (with Bitwig i think) RRP only exposed a fraction of device parameters to the DAW for remote controlling than Reason does. I digged a bit deeper and it looked like it only exposes parameters that have a Midi CC associated to it in the Midi Implementation. Has that changed? Those...

Re: Reason Financials 2021

Imho there are two areas where Reason can improve heavily. 1.) the outdated sequencer (Workflow, Clip Launcher, Arranger) 2.) the kinda lost focus on supporting Remote Controllers via the superb Remote. I just checked a few Remote Maps (in R11) of controllers and the newest supported device was Pulv...

Re: remoted Rec-Button

Thx for the explanation! Sounds like bad coding to me (meme) ;) But seriously, they should fix this. Ultimately its the gesture limitation thats stopping anyone, right?

Re: remoted Rec-Button

I think he is talking about Record Buttons of devices in the Rack eg on Players. On these there is no possibility to remote them afaik. And it sucks big time. It is said to be a limitation of the SDK and its a big limitation imho that shouldnt exist or be adressed already.

Re: Reason Studios Chord Sequencer in the shop

Its not a limitation of the SDK. There are numerous REs that offer remote items for parameters in Custom Displays. I noticed a little Midi icon on the Display. But i guess its for routing incoming midi to the Matrix or the learn function (haven't really read the manual). However being able to show ...

Re: Reason Studios Chord Sequencer in the shop

I fear the 4x4 Matrix is not remotable as all custom display items in other reasonstudios players are not, which i never really understood why (so much wasted potential). My guess is that this might be a limitation of the RE SDK for custom display widgets, but still if it was they could improve the...

Re: Reason Studios Chord Sequencer in the shop

Can i use the colors to display these on my Controller? What else is remotable? I fear the 4x4 Matrix is not remotable as ...

Re: Bitwig with reason rack

What possibilities are you referring to? 7) Love their remote-like java interface for scripting everything. They expose everything. They just did this whole video about richie hawtin and his custom setup. The problem is that RRP does not expose everything to Bitwig. Maybe this changes with VST3.

Re: Chord SQ from Retouch

Just bought this since it now has transport sync and can act like a standard sequencer. I love it. And it has very good remote support. So i started to translate this thing on my Launchpad. By any chance, if you get your hands on it again, can you add a remote item for the running light? It would be...

Re: Reason 12.2.5 Released

Puh, that was hard work to get the controller issue "fixed". Had to communicate with loads of people to get them in the right direction. It is nearly fixed and as good as it can get i guess. Buttons work again. Only some controls with a low number of values (eg a filtertype selector) can cause troub...

Re: Remote in RRP?

The problem is that RRP does not report ALL remotable items to the host. It is mostly the items that are also Midi Mapable (like through the advanced midi device rack module). Last time i checked it were the first 128 or 256 of the items in the remote info file of a device. Quite often the output on...

Re: Reason 12 messed up all my custom Remote codecs

Ticket after Ticket (my current one is stil active), postings in the Dev Forum but nothing happened.

If they at least would revert the button behaviour to 0=off and 127=on instead of 32=off and 96=on (which doesnt make sense as a surprising change after how many years).

Re: Remote MIDI Throughput

Remote is not timing critical. They have a system were the remote data has a lesser priority probably because it isnt important to have an led Ring being updated a millisecond sooner or later. I tried to make a remote clock or program an arpeggiator with remote and it was sloppy to say the least. In...

Re: Youtuber tries Reason 12 for the first time and tries to make acid techno

I enjoyed the video alot. Seeing someone making the first steps in Reason who has alot of knowledge in his area of music making was interesting. Though "making acid techno" is a bit exaggerated when the outcome is a 3 track loop.

What changed imho is their stance on businnes be it driven through Verdane or not. And i am not saying this is a bad thing. The problem is how they go about executing the new business models. For example the Reason Suite offering was great and could have been marketed alongside the more bitter pills...

Ernst, as much as i like him, was kindof deluded when he thought that DAW standards like Midi Out, Audio tracks and VST support and later Clip Launching was not a priority or should only be added if they found a unique solution. Reason was allways a "DAW". heck Rebirth was a DAW in my book. I refer ...
