Re: Robotic Bean - Portatron Tape Synthesizer (VST3)

It's a single Component that offers up different bus configurations. The below screenshot is from Logic 10.8 running on Ventura 13.5.2: Screenshot 2023-11-24 at 20.45.57.png I'm using Logic 10.7.9 in Monterey, perhaps that's the cause. I'm not sure about that.

Re: Robotic Bean - Portatron Tape Synthesizer (VST3)

I also tried rescanning the plugin in Logic's Plugin Manager*, and have also rebooted the Mac a couple of times. *interesting that the AU Validation succeeds but that there is what seems like unfinished business at the end... I just reran the auvaltool on the latest build, and it just passes, no un...

Re: Robotic Bean - Portatron Tape Synthesizer (VST3)

We definitely tested this in Logic, and it’s been working great for us. First, are you 100% sure that the Portatron version is 1.4.0? (You will see that in the settings menu). Yeah I checked. The new Library locator is there, and the version number on the actual Component file is correct. Are there...

Re: Robotic Bean - Portatron Tape Synthesizer (VST3)

Downloaded the update and installed, all giddy. But there's no multi-output version showing in Logic, only the stereo version. I've double checked my Components folder, and there's only the one Portatron (though I think it's possible to combine both versions in a single Component). I tried installi...

Today we released Portatron 1.4 which has been in the works for the last two months. No recording this time (still in early design stages), but we added two of the most requested features: Custom Library locations: Now you can move the presets and add-on Portapacks to where you want them, including ...

Re: Sound doubled from external input

I wonder if it's possible to have it running through Reason and not coming out of Reason through the mponitors? Yes: Go into Reason's Audio Preferences and set monitoring mode to External. Just remember that you won't be able to hear any of Reason's effects on your monitoring signal in this mode, w...

Re: Reason no longer receiving audio from Scarlett 18i20

HTH. Now have fun and make some great music! I’ll do my best. RS needs to add the request for microphone access! Garageband asked and that’s why it worked.

Re: Audio Track Dropout Issue

You would typically need Reason to be the master clock for reliable audio recording, so I would suggest that you sync the NDLR to Reason instead.

Re: SWAM Trombone has different output on playback vs export

Another workaround is to set up the plug-in's mixer channel as a recording source in Reason, and then record it in real time onto a new audio track. It's of course a chore to do this every time you change something on the instrument track, but at least exporting the song/stems should work as expecte...

Re: Reason 12.7 Release Notes (Companion for All)

Confused about this change, and some advice is requested. Someone wrote – new users start by downloading Companion, which in turn downloads Reason – Does this mean the torrent will not work for downloading anymore?

"Can't you simply press ALT and the Sample button to open the editor?"

I don't think so!
It's Alt + the "Start sampling" button (the one with the waveform icon in the sample browsing button group) to open the sample editor.

Do i right understand that Companion should be installed separately ? (Ie he not come together with 12.7 installation) Maybe so. When I let Reason auto-update, upon restart it wanted me to install Companion (and took me to a page to download it). So perhaps it isn't automatically included. No, Comp...

Re: Python to .repatch (Mutator)

A key part of the MIDI to pattern conversion is of course quantization, since PM is a step based sequencer. The simplest approach is to create the pattern at a fixed resolution (either hardcoded in the converter or specified by the user via command line switch) and quantize the MIDI to that. Another...

Just a minor detail: You have to multiply the msb with 255. This is because we can’t have any 00 bytes in the string, so there are only 255 possible values for each byte.
was this in ref to the 1st post or 2nd post of the reader?
