Re: Mimic: New Creative Sampler

SDK limitations. Iirc you can only load up to 8 user samples. There’s no such limit that I’m aware of, at least it’s not mentioned in the SDK docs. There is no limitation but I did some experiments and it seems the more user samples you have in motherboard def the slower the boot time of the RE in ...

Re: better way to use DR OCTO REX LOOP PLAYER

Another tip. Octorex isn´t very well suited for loops without transients but if you want to have a pad sound sequence with long attack and release times created by a synth say with a length of 4 bars 1. lower the tempo in Reason sequencer by 30 BPM, e. g. from 128 to 90 2. Bounce in place to generat...

Re: Mimic: New Creative Sampler

No. I don't have 12 yet, I'm communicating that it blows me away that this apparently isn't possible. Not being able to reverse per slice is a bizarre omission. The Renoise sampler is lightyears ahead of this mediocre thing. It's an insult really. But they did it again, conned me into buying their ...

Re: Robotic Bean -60% in the shop

My problem with this approach is that the button no longer reflects the current state it is in - would be like an on/off button reading “off” when it’s on and “on” when it’s off… No, it would always display a stop icon when playing and a play icon when stopped whether playing when pressed or hittin...

Re: Audio clip launcher for live or jam stuff

Thanks for the tips. Yes if the new sampler could do this...that would be a very good thing. But again I clearify my question: Is there a Rack extension , that can trigger audio files in sync and loop. Important: No extra software or rex loops. No, there isn´t. I started one but stopped because of ...

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

I think you are right with the tabs and that you can switch between more editing windows. And there seems to be a little keyboard display maybe for key assignment. Still not sure why they didn't just update the NN-XT? It only needed a new skin or more modern gui, it's own sample editor (useable in ...

Re: Combinator to switch connected VSTs on or off

Assuming you mean the On/Off buttons for the VST, I'm pretty sure you'll find it's impossible. They aren't automatable (VST On/Off isn't an available parameter in either the Combinator or the VST Programmer). Nor do they show the Remote Control or Keyboard Control Override option when right clicked...

Re: Reason Remote Override Bug!!! (confirmed and explained)

In Europa, the shape and lots of other properties are of continuous number type ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 (floating point) while e. g. octave is a stepped value with a min = 0 and max = 4 (integer). This might explain why there is a difference in behaviour. Maybe there are rounding errors when convert...

Re: Disabling high resolution in Reason 12.. Will it be possible?

It's really strange, at the beginning when you load a synthesizer it'll look completely terrible, then it'll slowly load a better looking version for some reason. For the first 10 seconds, the filter section Europa had completely unreadable text, until it slowly rendered the elements... This feels ...

First and foremost, thanks to the RS dev team for the HiRes. I´m optimistic it is on a good way. As a software dev myself I imagine (and it was also stated by RS) it was a huge undertaking esp. since it was never tested to rollout so many REs in HiRes and bigger bitmaps for different zoom levels has...

Re: Using MIDI from Evolution to switch patterns in Sequences?

I have another idea since I saw that RB Select CV Switch allows to switch pattern with MIDI notes C3 - C4. In Scales and Chords Player Key C and scale Major would only allow white key notes, so any incoming sharp note would (possibly) converted to the next white key note, C3, D3, E3, etc. Not 100 % ...

I've got a setup where there's an instance of Evolution playing an instance of Chordline which is playing a piano. Chordline is using three chord sets, each in a different key (C, F and G).

My guess is that they've tallied up the figures and determined that the DAW aspect of it has hit market saturation, and that (perhaps) they've simply not been attracting many brand new customers in recent editions. It's feasible (and again, this is pure guesswork) that the bulk of their DAW sales h...

Re: RB Sequences Player RE - quick tip for long chord progressions

Nice little tip if you want to cram a long chord progression (e. g. 16 bars) into one single Sequences pattern by using trigger conditions and octave tranpositions to avoid layering notes so you can see them all at once (much less confusing). Let´s say we have a chord progression spanning 16 bars i...

FYI: You can get 256 steps per pattern, using all patterns that is 2048 steps.... Do you mean by using ratchet repeats and pitch? True, this gives you 256 steps per pattern. That might be another interesting way of doing it but I think it might be bit too cumbersome to edit for a chord progression ...
