Algoritm is released!

It's my favorite day: new synthesizer day! I'm happy to properly introduce Algoritm FM Synthesizer . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88XtnyhBiJU We're still pushing stuff live but I wanted to be the first to post. :puf_bigsmile: I wrote a blog post with a bit of the thinking behind Algoritm here: ht...

Re: RRP has 'reset' back to empty project

Please get in touch with support about this. It really should never happen and we'd be really keen to see if we can find some cause in the song file or logs!

... I don't mean to be mean, and I do take things personally when they feel personal—I'm often being referenced by name by people as making a bunch of calls and sometimes those calls are being described in a way that implies they were made out of malice. I think maybe we share that, so in that way ...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+

But neither he nor I get a cent of Quartet, which RS also produced in Gorilla Editor, for pretty much no significant development cost just to quickly bump up the Reason 11 feature list and quite intentionally to piss me off because they specifically used the term "BBD", even though it's not a BBD. ...

Re: Reason 11.3.8 is out!

But I recommend giving Companion a go. It's a much smoother experience for handling REs and you might find something you like in there :) So is Companion a replacement for Authorizer? Is it intended to be used by standard-license customers as well as subscribers? It's not unlikely it'll become the ...

Re: Ignition Key bites the dust on Mac - with no plans to fix

Mattias, I am so disappointed by this response. Since my second computer is for on the road - where internet is not always available - this means that I need authorise that computer, not my main one. As a consequence, every time I open Reason on my main studio computer, I need to authorise. I do ho...

Re: Ignition Key bites the dust on Mac - with no plans to fix

I can quite believe that they haven't had time to even consider this fully because they've been busy with the companion. You may mean that the only way I can avoid having to log into Reason every time I open it is to subscribe to Reason +. Great. This has nothing to do with Reason+. You can still a...

Yes nothing has changed with regards to perpetual licences. matthias has stated, that there are NO plans for it, but can't rule it out. of course. managers! and CEO's...

Re: Reason update 11.3.7 & Reason+ livestream Wednesday

I have a few questions and apologies in advance if this has already been made clear, however: 1) What will be the future of Reason for users who don't wish to subscribe? Specifically: a) Will users still be able to purchase racks and sound packs via the market without a subscription service, or wil...

Re: It's up now on the website: and, yep, a subscription plan

But again, and this is worth reiterating since it was perhaps unclear, the normal perpetual license is not gone. You can still stay with that. :) Yes, but for how long will the “perpetual licence” exist? You have already previously allegedly hinted (mischievously(?)) that there would be no Reason 1...

just ran a couple of numbers out of curiosity... -assume a new major version comes out every 1.5 years -assume a standard $130 upgrade fee for existing users -assume sound packs/refills isn’t a major selling point for most users look at costs over 5 years...

Re: It's up now on the website: and, yep, a subscription plan

And we think Reason's BIG superpower, compared to say, Splice or Arcade is that Reason is a sound design machine. I suspect most users who love Reason would disagree, and would say its BIG superpower is that it’s an INSPIRATION machine. having lots of sounds and devices sure plays a part in that, b...

Also I don’t understand to whom this service is being marketed for. Clearly Reason struggles to reach new audiences, but are RRP and now this subscription enough to compete with other platforms? With absolutely zero new content? Quirkiness and author’s touch on familiar devices were always stronges...

Hi there! James here from Reason Studios (I'll introduce myself in a new thread properly later). So, no. Every pack you install you can keep on disk even if you cancel your Reason+ subscription. If you have the RE licenses owned for those patches, you are of course free to use them! When you unsubs...

I just checked their site too. All I can say is despite getting back on reason after a break as a user since v1 I am out. I love the software but not £20 a month for some sounds. It’s safe to say the company and product I knew is finally gone. Even with 50% in the first year it’s just too much and ...

Oh man that's a shame for those that didn't have this yet, PX7 is an excellent FM synth and a quality rack addition imo. I hope you guys will consider replacing it with a new RS developed FM synth.
