Monotone has been updated and now supports sustain pedal

Bug fixes and improvements:
- New remote codec for AKAI mini mk3 that fixes some issues
- Fixed a bug that made a line appear on Malström knobs set to max
- Fixed a waveform glitch that could appear in audio clips when zoomed in
- Fixed a bug that made lines appear around buttons on the transport bar
- Fixed a bug that could cause lines of the same color as the track color to appear on the back of Mix and Audio channels
- Fixed an issue where the Edit Mode button in Sequencer jumped around slightly when clicked
- Dr OctoRex has learned to count (pretty late in life for a Doctor) and the outputs are now named 1-2-3-4 instead of 1-3-3-4
- Fixed a bug that caused Reason to not start when several audio drivers failed consecutively
- Fixed a bug with crackling audio on Mac when opening a second document while playing

Wow, I guess there was a "Reason" for Me to wake up so damn early today : ) Finally 12.9 shows itself – from the beta

We all know what's still waiting tho...

Yay, thanking you!

[Biolumin3sc3nt]

Duuuuuuude... this update is amazing on performance, for both My Mac and PC!

Hands down one of the best updates in a long time!

Well done Guys/Gals!

[MuttReason]

Transport bar graphic glitches gone... it was a small thing but weirdly annoying. Good stuff. Silent login good too. All other changes pretty solid - nice one RS.

[guitfnky]

well that’s some good news…finally might be time to open Reason again. really hope the performance improvements put it back on solid ground.

[PhillipOrdonez]

Nice!

[deigm]

Silent login... Yes!!

"- Fixed a bug that made lines appear around buttons on the transport bar"

Not for me, there are still lines, appearing after "pushing" a transport button.
It's like a double line between the real ones ...
These ghost frames on the buttons are gone, wich is great.
Performance is super fantastic and thats veeery great too.

Downloading! Hoping the sort devices function is back now...but very much looking forward to the performance boosts.

[chimp_spanner]

Okay just tried it, looks like the feature is reinstated. WEEEEE!!!!

[dan_g]

great stuff. when working on dr. octorex they could have tried to fix the bug that lets a rex loop start on the second slice instead of the first though.

[Heater]

A good update

[MrFigg]

Fixed a bug which doesn’t allow the use of VST3s.
Next update maybe

If all VST3 threads were merged, this forum would lose half of all it topics

VST3 ever coming?

The last update 12.2.8 REMOVED the "Sort Selected Devices" feature (which I find indispensable for keeping projects organized) because it could corrupt reason files in some cases. Their exact word in the release notes was "yikes". They said they were working to get it back real soon. I will not be happy if I have to PAY to get it back in R13.

Ah nuts! Oh well. Clearly some work to do still. I figured it was about time I offered some light praise for a change and turns out I'm still wrong

But FWIW, it does look fine here, at all zoom scales. I checked in Default [light] skin and that's ok too. So something was fixed at least that applied to whatever the intricacies of my particular setup are, but that's a pain if that breaks stuff for others of course.

I mean, obviously there's still other UI glitches that aren't fixed here either like sequencer and other vector lines blinking in and out of existance.

I see some people above talking about great performance, but I'm sitting here scrolling the Mixer channels, and it's really sluggish. The scroll bar moves from one side to almost the other before the scrolling even starts and the FPS of the scroll is pretty low, it's very juddery (juddery-pokery?).

Didn't chimpspanner confirm the feature is reinstated a few posts above this? Or are you referring to something else?

The new UI glitches in the transport bar are not there all of the time, and also, they seem to change position and color in a very flickering manner. Odd.

Seems to be working! I put in 3 devices in the rack, changed the order in the sequencer, selected and sorted and the rack mirrored the seq track order. So I guess it’s back?

Damn, I should never post first thing in the morning... Thanks, guess I can go ahead and update!

[Loque]

Cool. Curious how the performance is.
... And silent login. Finally. Now I can get a beer and Reason is started when I came back... If there is no f***ing update license dialog waiting for me...
