I'm sure that mentioning the fact that it's Reason.... and something something VST3 will still be ok as it's public knowledge.... right?

Going by history, their public betas rarely go longer than a month. I’d say a Christmas gift is probably possible.Creativemind wrote: ↑21 Nov 2022How long will this Beta last for roughly?
What I'm asking is, will it be tested and 12.5 be out before you break up for Christmas? I know it sounds like a tight squeeze and I'm guessing more like mid-late Jan but is 4 weeks do-able?
True, but this is a bigger deal than previous updates, and there's some other things that I'm seeing pop up that could make this take longer. They've definitely been churning though the bugs, pushing updates fairly frequently up to the current stable version, so that's a good sign.QVprod wrote: ↑21 Nov 2022Going by history, their public betas rarely go longer than a month.

I suppose it depends on how many and how grave bugs are discovered during the beta. Minimum runtime of a semi-open beta would be around a month, I think.Creativemind wrote: ↑21 Nov 2022How long will this Beta last for roughly?

Lol of course. Reason with VST3 support is being beta tested now and beta signup is open. The conversation continues more in depth in the beta forum.
Same.
Public betas are usually for new versions not regular updates. R12 is an anomaly in that regard. That’s what I’m referring to usually being a month. I see this update being no different than that or 9.5 which I believe was only a month long beta as well.DJMaytag wrote: ↑21 Nov 2022True, but this is a bigger deal than previous updates, and there's some other things that I'm seeing pop up that could make this take longer.

If I had to wander a guess, I'd say Jan 2023 until they have a locked down & stable version with VST3 support.

It's too much of a hassle to change DAWs. I don't want to go through that again!
Then with Reason, I'm home!
So I signed up for the Beta to help ReasonStudio debug this public beta so that we have a stable VST3 version!
Then I can't wait to use the new synth from Brian Clevinger, creator of Absynth. "Plasmonic" which works only in VST3. This synth is in midi MPE. I hope that we will have MPE midi very soon even if I was able to find a workaround with Reason by making Expresive_E's TOUCHE_SE midi controller work when it is not officially compatible. It only works on one note or all the notes of a chord so not MPE.
And now that the developer Robotic bean AB who created superb RE including "sequence" has joined the ReasonStudio development team, I think we will have some nice surprises!
So it's up to us to bring up the bugs in this public beta so that we have a top-notch VST3 version! So that we can stay focused on musical creativity.
I signed up (blublakmusik) for it and hope I'm chosen to help beta test. I have a lot of vst3 plugins that require me to use a bridge to use them, such as the new Izotope suite, and it would be nice to test them and all of the other ones I have sitting in my folder.MattiasHG wrote: ↑21 Nov 2022Come and help us test! It really does help tons to get quality testing and reports.
Re: sandboxing, that's mostly around Rack Extensions. VSTs add more points of failure to Reason, it is what it is. Still, do report any issues because they might be something we could fix or at least try to avoid.
I don't know if there is a cap in mind for the testing pool, but I wouldn't feel like you are taking up a spot or whatever. It seems like people are being accepted in waves. I think any amount of time and any testing that anybody can contribute is useful. You might spot something in 30 minutes of using Reason with your plugins on your system that other testers won't encounter.
100% this. Everyone uses Reason in a different way, so you might catch something that no one else might notice.joeyluck wrote: ↑22 Nov 2022I don't know if there is a cap in mind for the testing pool, but I wouldn't feel like you are taking up a spot or whatever.
