Yeah I know it's still going. If you haven't finished shopping yet you can always come back here later to post a comment.
Let's stick to things from the Reason Studios Shop. REs, upgrades, refills etc.

This time I bought Jackbox 7R-808 and Synapse GQ-7 - they're both great!
If I didn't already own them, I would've bought:
Lectric Panda Fritz, Evolution and ZFO-2
Noise Engineering Bundle 1 and 2
Reason Studios Drum Sequencer and Synchronous
I use these in just about everything I do.
Sorely tempted by, but decided not to buy Complex-1, Autosub and ES-01 - maybe next time...

Will likely buy Lectric Panda Evolution. Trial ended recently & I had some fun with this.
Just downloaded Auto Sub on trial. Will test this later today & might buy this also.
VK-2 is tempting at the price. I've wanted this since release but it brought my old PC to it's knees back then.
A few other bits I might be interested in. But I've pretty much got most of the things I want apart from the above.
Was hoping the R11 upgrade would have shed a few $'s for this sale. I may (no pun intended) well have bitten.

Not the R11 upgrade. The full R11 package & R11 Suite upgrade were on sale.MannequinRaces wrote: ↑19 May 2020Wasn’t it on sale like last week?Faastwalker wrote: ↑19 May 2020Was hoping the R11 upgrade would have shed a few $'s for this sale. I may (no pun intended) well have bitten.

Gotcha! The R11 upgrade would have been nice to see on sale. Reason Studios seems to be stingy discounting those.Faastwalker wrote: ↑19 May 2020Not the R11 upgrade. The full R11 package & R11 Suite upgrade were on sale.

The Upgrade to R11 from Intro/Lite is currently on sale for $199 down from $299. I don't know why they appear to be so adverse to putting the regular upgrade, you know for regular Reason users, on sale once in a whileMannequinRaces wrote: ↑19 May 2020Gotcha!

They must have their ahem... reasons. Same with the Parsec upgrade, that one was weird as well, never going on sale.Faastwalker wrote: ↑19 May 2020The Upgrade to R11 from Intro/Lite is currently on sale for $199 down from $299.

I think we ( R10 users ) are still there biggest customer base by far and they really want us to spend full wonga on it. I expect R11 standard upgrade to go on sale about 4-6 months before R12 comes out ( no idea when that is )MannequinRaces wrote: ↑19 May 2020They must have their ahem... reasons.

I have bought nothing yet from MM but just forked out on Evolution and Sequences...
I am interested in Zero, and maybe a chord or scale player device from tomicmint and Torison from LP and maybe a couple of other devises like Selig Gain, and LPs double cv lfo device.... but times are tight and im on 60% salary and stood down next week, so ill have loads of time to play with Reason but no money hahaha - its a funny old world
So far I have gotten two REs:
Andrew Russell's Velocity Curve
Reason Studios should just strike up a deal with Andrew and include this with Reason. It's really fundamental for MIDI performance and workflow. And it's executed perfectly.
Tonicmint's Negate
I had missed grabbing this during the intro sale. I find that Negate paired with Static Cling's AutoLatch is a really great match, and simple way to transform riffs and songs into brand new things.

Yes Velocity curve looks nice. Already have Midi compressor so cannot get myself to buy this. And yes, quite a lot in players should be apart of Reason...joeyluck wrote: ↑20 May 2020So far I have gotten two REs:

Had my eye on Negate and wonder if Melodic Inverter does something of that kind too (and beyond)?
Havent had time testing them out yet.
For me, I found Negate did exactly what I wanted. Simple and the price is great. I use it to flip melodies and chords. I'll follow it with Scales & Chords (chords off) if I need the change to fit a specific key and scale. Melodic Inverter I struggled with to get results I liked. But others seem to be getting use out of it. So I think it comes down to trying them and seeing for yourself.Yonatan wrote: ↑20 May 2020Yes Velocity curve looks nice.

Wow I don't know about that...There's been more begging and hype for this May Madness than any other lol
"Will there be a May Madness?"
"When is May Madness?"
"Screw it I'm starting a thread early because I'm so damn excited for May Madness!!!"
I’d like to call that Pre-May Madness excitement .

Thanks for sharing. I cant afford Melodic Inverter as yet, so I will surely end up with Negate until MM is over. I like these smaller cheaper units that makes big difference when combining with other players etc.joeyluck wrote: ↑20 May 2020For me, I found Negate did exactly what I wanted.

I grabbed Shape LFO. Even though I have Blamsoft movement (great to add a CV envelop that starts AFTER you release a key, and it can loop during release as well), and I have Synchronous, but don't like how it is to draw curves in it.
What made me grab it for sure was when I saw that you can set speed to zero, and use the phase knob to manually move the player back/forth. This way I can draw my own CV curve and control it from a Combinator knob. I can do a non-linear filter sweep in one Shape and another non-linear resonance sweep in a second Shape. Perfect!
I will check out the Pink Noise Retro Europa ReFill. I think PN and Exode are the best ReFills I have heard in the RS Shop.

Thanks to reading a couple threads I put my Kontakt 6 purchase on hold and got Reason 11 Suite upgrade instead from JRRshop for $177. I saved up and was waiting to see if Native Instruments was gonna have a spring sale but after really diving in to see what Reason 11 Suite would give me, I decided to just get it while I could at that price. The regular price tag was the main thing holding me back. Kontakt would've cost me $249. I still plan on getting it but it's on the back burner for now. No regrets.
Nothing yet!
But even a May Madness inspired browse of the shop can be productive - for some reason I hadn't made the connection that Panda's free CV Player Tap turns PSQ-1684 into a player. That's brilliant for integrating PSQ into Other Stuff. In fact any legacy CV-based device, CV Player Tap gives new life to. For some reason I thought CV Player Tap was only for tapping CV signals OUT of Player chains. Great!
The Euclidean Rhythms player looks fun (someone should make a Rainbow Rhythms player). Auto Latch looks useful. Negate looks interesting. And now we can drop these player chains into the MIDI of any DAW!

That is, indeed, an extremely useful sound design tool that doesn't otherwise exist in Reason - and there it is hidden as a secondary function of another RE!
