Re: Blamsoft and eXode present: eXpanse - Hyperwave Synthesizer

Yes. We have OpenCL - is it possible to use this with a DAW? It'd be dead handy if my Quadro GPU could get to work helping with the heavy lifting of soft synths.

Re: Blamsoft and eXode present: eXpanse - Hyperwave Synthesizer

I'm not in a position to try this out at the moment. How do you all think it fares when it comes to making analogue synth sounds? I'm looking for a reason to not buy Diva. ;)

If you mean the Trident A-Range, it's not included in the M&M Rig.

Re: Performance drop with Reason 9

I have wondered if it's possible for DAWs to use GPUs via OpenCL etc. I've got a Dell workstation with a good professional GPU, and I'd love it if Reason could make use of it.

Re: Reason 8 With Izotope Ozone 7 Advanced Stand Alone Or Pro Tools?

I'd add that PT, which seems focused on recording and working with real audio/bands/singers/instrumentalists, strikes me as a strange standard for scoring. You'd think it would be Cubase or something. I would hate the injustice of having a DAW foisted on me as a "standard" when there are other thing...

Re: Reason 8 With Izotope Ozone 7 Advanced Stand Alone Or Pro Tools?

I would suggest that IF you're going to have to do the dirty Pro Tools thing sooner or later for political reasons, you might as well get it out the way. It can sit there on your computer being a necessary evil, and you can get fluent in it, certified etc. That's a lot of money though - is that the ...

De-synchronize option for Synchronous.

What I mean is, the option to decouple Synchronous' speed from the tempo. I'd love to be able to use Synchronous to draw long complex envelopes for evolving pads, etc. But I'm limited, at the slowest, to 1 envelope per 2 bars. I'd love to see options for 1/4, 1/8, maybe 1/16 speed or, even better, a...

Re: Will you upgrade to Reason 9?

One thing I've come to understand from peering in at the various forums (fora?) of different DAWs is: every one of them has users saying "When oh when will they finally implement/sort out X feature? It's 2016 and the other DAWs have it and it's pretty basic." So, y'know. There's no perfect DAW. You ...

Cash-for-features would be a list of requested features, each with an R&D cost as decided by PH, and then everyone pledges for their most-wanted feature and then when the threshold is reached, Kick-starter-style, BOOM we've got big-tall waveforms or foldable channel-groups or a 2016 HD-compatible GU...

I will be upgrading - but unless they chuck in a cracking RE or two for early adopters, I'll be waiting for a sale. As others have said, I WANT to support PH - maybe the reason (ha!) they're so slow to generally update this software and its GUI is lack of resources/money? Maybe they could implement ...

Re: Current Rack Extension Sales (updated June 1)

I officially own every Primal Audio RE now. I know it's too late for the sale, but those filters are well worth grabbing - especially PMS-20 which you can use all over the place on everything for saturation, distortion, and sound shaping. And we all know that FM4 is great.
