Re: Is there a place dedicated to just Reason's CV here?
Posted: 19 Jun 2017
Like a dedicated repository of organized methods from various regarding control voltage, in one area.
OK, but this isn't anything you'd find in your suggested CV sub-forum, right?Oquasec wrote:This is exactly what I'm on about.

I don't know if this is a plus — or a minus — from a community perspective, but a subforum dedicated to the more escoteric aspects of using Reason, e.g. wiring stuff together in strange ways, building your own composite devices, "quasi-"modular, all that sort of stuff; a forum like this could be a gathering place for Reason's true geeks to hang out without having to "endure" the noise of, as Normen put it, "Dude, check out this VST!"selig wrote: ↑19 Jun 2017OK, but this isn't anything you'd find in your suggested CV sub-forum, right?Oquasec wrote:This is exactly what I'm on about.

This would include non-CV related stuff as well, right? Just trying to take the 'pulse' of the needs being expressed here, and be sure I'm understanding the motivation behind the suggestions and not just the suggestions themselves.jonheal wrote:I don't know if this is a plus — or a minus — from a community perspective, but a subforum dedicated to the more escoteric aspects of using Reason, e.g. wiring stuff together in strange ways, building your own composite devices, "quasi-"modular, all that sort of stuff; a forum like this could be a gathering place for Reason's true geeks to hang out without having to "endure" the noise of, as Normen put it, "Dude, check out this VST!"selig wrote: ↑19 Jun 2017OK, but this isn't anything you'd find in your suggested CV sub-forum, right?Oquasec wrote:This is exactly what I'm on about.

Of course while clubs are good for the club members, they can also be exclusive, and excluding. So ... it could go either way.
If such a forum were brought into existence, maybe it could be called "The Lab," or something like.
Sounds more like a wiki or FAQ. A forum may or may not address those issues.Oquasec wrote:This is the only thing I'll disagree with. I'd like a "CV Period" Area that is nothing but the literal theory of the wire and every single possible detail about why these wires need to be put in certain ways to do whatever blah blah for the guys who are somewhat interested. I have gotten curious because of thor and the A-series rack extension and would like to utilize a key feature of Reason much more than I usually do.
So from my point of view, a lot of the various sections of this site deal with the "latest and greatest" RE or (now) VST, and very little has to do with dedicated modular synthesis within Reason. If I wanted to learn about various elements of modular synthesis, I need to go through all of the different sections and find bit and pieces. There will be some under tutorials, and some under RE, but nothing dedicated.selig wrote: ↑19 Jun 2017Some good suggestions here! Can I ask a simple question that may help understand the requests for a sub forum for CV: What would having a sub-forum facilitate?
I ask because sometimes a proposed solution is not the best way to address the root issue, so IMO it's best to first clarify the root issue and then discuss possible solutions.

Yes, there are tonnes of thread discussing the various ways to interconnect RE's (instruments and effects) together, but nothing dedicated to actual modular synthesis with Reason. Look through the first few pages of the "Reason General", "RE", and "Tutorial" sections, and try and find anything that could be defined as modular synthesis within the first 5 pages of any of those sections.
Just my two cents.
Why not a forum for cables in general. Hooking things up. Modular in a broader sense. For people interested in discussing creatives setups, solving issues, finding work arounds that involves hooking devices up with each other (or for that matter routing things in a mod matrix). I'm also fed up with all the VST talk - buy this and buy that. It's more fun to discuss what you can do with what you got...selig wrote: ↑19 Jun 2017OK, but a modular synth forum will include much more than just CV.fotizimo wrote:So from my point of view, a lot of the various sections of this site deal with the "latest and greatest" RE or (now) VST, and very little has to do with dedicated modular synthesis within Reason.

Seems there are two different suggestions being made here from what I'm seeing - modular synth take and CV basics. I'm not sure we need sub-forums for every niche of Reason, but I also agree these subjects are not always easy to find.
I've let Kenni know about this thread so this question can be addressed!

That idea could perhaps be refined to 4 sub forums created within Tutorials and Techniques including:Carly(Poohbear) wrote: ↑19 Jun 2017Midi:
Remote Mappings:
Modular setups:
External CV Hardware: ? (This section could be for where people have hooked up external hardware and using Reason CV to control it)
and the main section about hooking CV's up etc..
One thing to bear in mind is how others use forums as we all probably use them differently, e.g. When I first came to ReasonTalk I spent the first 3\6 months in the Reason Music section, did not even look at any other section. so what I'm saying is by having more groups people can clearly see what sections to follow.Jagwah wrote: ↑20 Jun 2017Still think it's a bad idea to break the forum up into many different categories, it's not like there is a million people here and forums are overcrowded. The T&T forum works fine as is, but to break it up into multiple pages is going to make it more difficult for people with answers to come across your questions, plus the categories already look a little messy and overwhelming as is. Really disagree with this idea.
But your forgetting your suggestion makes sense and that seems in short demand around these parts you know lol.Gaja wrote: ↑20 Jun 2017Since all the inquiries here seem to revolve about finding the right threads and posts, it appears to me the answer would not be to convolute the further, but to implement some kind of intelligent search engine, which would in the ideal case know the kind of things you're looking for (and could be as convoluted as needed) and deliver all the results you want.
We should break up the forum into more categories for incase someone can't use a forum properly???Carly(Poohbear) wrote: ↑20 Jun 2017One thing to bear in mind is how others use forums as we all probably use them differently, e.g. When I first came to ReasonTalk I spent the first 3\6 months in the Reason Music section, did not even look at any other section. so what I'm saying is by having more groups people can clearly see what sections to follow.
