Scottym Reveals The Vision Of 'Reason X' + The New X-SSL Mixer

[CharlyCharlzz]

 
well being scottish does not mean you guys have any senss of taste LOL
 
PS: once you did a simple black and blue version that was cool !
 

[Theo.M]

Reminds me a bit of Samplitude Pro X. I downloaded a demo for that a some time ago. I had it open a whole 5-10 seconds before I closed it and turned to the uninstaller. I think the claustrophobic nature of the interface gave me PTSD.

that's exactly how I felt, i only spent an hour with the demo and have up.. and mind you.. pro x has been *improved* from previous samps!

It's a shame as it's an incredibly powerful piece of software, that is running on a very efficient engine, but it just "feels" bloated by simply looking at it. I had no hope of ever deciphering it without neurosis setting in so I simply gave up

Props are spot on with their Gui's "mostly", the only thing we really need is to be able to select from some different colour palettes, that's it

Realistic 3D life like GUI interface.

Skeuomorphism is dead! Long live Flat Eric

The idea of a 3D Reason has always been a ridiculous concept, that Propellerheads have now apparently dropped (thankfully).

Flat 2D GUI's is not a good trend, despite what Apple might think, studies have proven this.

Depends what studies you read. There are a broad range of views on this, as a quick Google search reveals;

I miss Reason 2. Can we just go back in time when things were simple?

Well, I'll loan it to you:


But remember to be very careful as to not disrupt the space/time continuum. I'd hate to lose the stability and joy of 8.2!

Well, at least they have the common sense to be original. It's not like the states where todays graffiti (I mean art) all over looks exactly the same as it did circa 1977 NYC.

I'll skip the negative and say the positive:

- multi browser
- dark theme

[EddieG]

Programming is one thing
Music is another
Music is the best

that over-busy design is not for me
( I also DO use Samp Pro X )

[kitekrazy]

So, they will skip R9? Look too complex

Just like Microsoft.  W8-W10.  Is Reason 8 so unpopular they skip a version?

Reason 8 is fantastic. But the jump from 7 to 8 wasn't exactly a large one. I think existing users were somewhat bitter about the $129 upgrade price for such a small jump. This has not been helped by Propellerhead literally giving stuff away in order to entice new users to the fold.

So the expectation is that the next iteration will be somewhat more significant hence why people are speculating on Reason going straight to 10 / X & skipping 9 altogether. It makes sense in many ways but surely an unlikely potential move from Propellerhead? Who knows.

New unrevealed stuff in the works atm, hence no updates in past few days. ETA-Soon...

Yeah, there is some kinda "english" humor there somewhere, but I fail to see it. Well, it's not as good as "are you being served" but at least it's better than kevin hart.

Joking aside, and back to the topic, I don't understand this thread at all. Not to be rude or "negative" but this looks like ass. I don't understand if it's a put-on or what.

At the moment, I'm presenting you with a bit of a puzzle to work out, just like an artist creates an abstract piece and puts it in a gallery for people to ponder over for a while, if you've not followed my previous GUI concept 2D & 3D design art work over on the old propellerhead forums over the years, then my thinking outside the box approach in presenting what I do and in the way I do it may baffle you, intrigue others, and lets those who did work it out, pat themselves on the back when I reveal the answers, for me it's just part of the fun.

Hello!

First: this is only a first impression after a brief glimpse of your design.

My first impression is that I really like the idea of making a complex mockup like this. You must have put a lot of work on it, very well done on that!

I haven't yet looked into the details of the design. For some reason one thing that came into my mind when seing this, was sci-fi art of some gigantic and complex space ship - and I love that art! I think that's because the complexity and mystery engages my brain.(I even played Eve for a few weeks, but eventually stopped. People said that it's a great game if you can take the time to get into it. Time I don't have.)

I sometimes get that same feeling for complex programs as well. That exciting "So many things to explore"-feeling.
Then on the other hand, I'm personally not extremely skilled in taking the time to master such an application.

Information hiding/encapsulation is a thing I also like.Show a feature when you need it. 
You write "You design the interface you want to work in. ": if that would incorporate the option to very quickly hide a layout then that would we great.
For example if you identify 5 typical common user scenarios, then there could be quick buttons to completely reshape the design to corresponding saved user customized templates. So in one button click you could change from a simplistic interface that suits a particular use case, to a very complex one where overview is a must.

so in other words you are flat out admitting you are trolling.

There are many people, and who have commented constructively and directly on features the I've been working on, and I will as with all my previous work reply directly to them soon, Jappe most recently and others in the past few pages, thank you for the input. There is still more to come besides the recent X-SSL Mixer in the design department, which incidentally I'm predicting will have a long write up next week.

Scotty, you are a visionary, with a desire to demonstrate your vision, motivating us into discussion and a variety of responses, ranging from a little gentle ribbing to just plain rudeness and more recently identity theft.

You always take it on the chin and come back with ever more outlandish creations - good for you.

I don't think I've ever liked what you've presented, but I have always enjoyed looking at your work - keep it coming.

@Theo...(Just don't start...like seriously..) 

I am not starting anything. Not even remotely. I just said what the thread read like to me, just like you often give your candid opinions.
Unlike you, I am here talking about Reason and RE's, and trying to help people, be helped, and staying on topic. I for the life me of me can't see how this topic belongs in the Reason forum when all it is just a completely unrelated black GUI, out of the blue, that has nothing to do with Reason, that you wanted to post for attention. And please be honest, you love the controversy and large amount of replies your topics generate, whereas most of us just want these threads to never be created to begin with.

This will be my last message to you ever, so please feel free to say what you like within the rules, and it won't spark the slightest hint of reply from me. And unlike the PUF, I have and always will be well behaved here, but I don't see anything wrong with expressing my opinion, as you seem to so freely do.

So, I will be honest.. I find your threads incredibly annoying and of zero point whatsoever in a Reason forum. You rarely use the software these days, and you only come here to either comment about 1) Studio 1, or 2) Vst and how much better they are than RE, or 3)How much Reason's look sucks or 4) Your gui's that NEVER materialize into anything other than a static pic or 5) How much you used to use Reason but now you use Reaktor and another host. 

In my opinion it is you, who "started" something, and will always be the one who "starts" it. But never finishes it. We have seen countless threads from you about "concept" Gui's that are "ready to be seen in action any time soon".. but NEVER are.. you just post pics, get responses of "please stop trolling" from many people, and "how bad they look" from many people, and the threads eventually die and we never see the gui's again or any of your work actually being used in a live situation. Sorry there may have been an exception with some combinator skins some years back.. my bad.. but that's about it. But I did think you actually made some once that people downloaded. 

You have been attacked in this topic and have ignored it, but instantly replied when I wrote one line calling you out for trolling which proved your issue with me is personal and therefore, this is why this is my last message to you, as I refuse to let it escalate from my end. Please read what you wrote and what I quoted and why I thought it was trolling. But yes this forum would be a blissful place without your topics... Or better yet, create your own Reason forum or Gui forum somewhere.. the people that love your work and genuinely want to discuss it will follow, no?

My honest to God take: We will never see any of your work materialise, you LOVE making these spam topics to create controversy, and you especially love posting against Reason in Reason forums.. and to top it all off you do think you are amazing and that we are privileged to see and hear your work. It's all there in black and white in your posts, and unfortunately, I am unable to ignore you due to forum limitations. 

Please go ahead and find one single post of mine in this entire forum, that is seeking attention in any way, or up until this post, has been even mildly confrontational. But one post out of almost 500 ain't a bad ratio, considering there likely won't be another one in the next few thousand (considering your topics and attitude are the only ones so far that rub me the wrong way to such a degree, and I won't be replying to you or instigating any conversation to you ever again from the moment I press "add reply" here).
And by the way, I am getting along very well with most everyone here this time as I have *very* consciously made a huge adjustment to my attitude and general life outlook. Please take that on board as sincere advice for yourself also.
Good luck, I only hope mods can sort this out some day as it's not really funny anymore, years and years at the PUF, and now happening here. Unfortunately, I think it is too late for me to ever be convinced that you don't do this every time with only the intention to purposely troll. That's just how I see it and always will. Your methods have been the same for years now, rinse cycle repeat..I and many others have picked up on the never changing pattern, and yes, this time I said something about it. PS you should have no issue with a little criticism considering the way you go around ripping the products we are here for and love to shreds. See ya.

A puzzle? Well, I have to admit then that it's a doozy!

I'll back off, I don't really want to be "negative"
