OK, well most of them - they left Synplant out. Make of that what you will.. :puf_wink:

Grab them from your Sonic Charge account, but check this out:

Yeah this was great news! I'm thinking that Synplant might not have been updated because maybe of the work going into Synplant 2. Or because of its more complicated, animated interface...or both.

Looking forward to checking out the updates!

I'm really hoping it's because Synplant 2 is planned in 2020. Magnus has been teasing an update for many years - would be smashing if they got actually around to it. :lol:

Maybe now is the time with them being quarantined :puf_smile:

Synplant is still one of my favorites and I'm really looking forward to version 2! I'm very interested to see what shape it takes.

It's funny, u-he's Zebra 2 and Sonic Charge's Synplant were two of the synths I had wanted the most ever since they were released (2006 and 2008 I think), way before Reason had VST support. And now I have them as VSTs. And both are still on the same (major point) version that were released so many years ago. And both have had future versions teased and talked about for ages. And I have a ton of plugins now, but these two are still two of my favorites. I had very little to no experience with VSTs years ago, but I guess I've always known what I wanted lol.

I noticed that the choke button on Microtonic is no longer a noose, so it's less grim. Not sure if that changed with this update or if it was done previously and I didn't notice.

I have the bundle so I updated them all. What is your question? The graphics are now updated and you can scale the interface.

That pretty much answers my question:). Thanks. Is it prettier now?

Well, it makes me wish 1000x over that Reason's own native devices would scale as beautifully, if that answers your question. ;)

This is at the max, 200% :D (you'll need to open it in a new tab and zoom)

I find 100-125% works well for me. I didn't have an issue before. @75% is closer to the size of the Echobode RE knobs.

PS I'm on a non-retina display. 1440 x 900

Yes

No. Just scaleable UI (which may or may not be a drawcard, I tend to keep it small because I do everything on a 15" laptop)

Not just the recent fix last month, but that these existed at all before.

Why only Echobode as a RE?

Because Reason now supports VST, and Magnus at Sonic Charge actually helped with the foundational code to get VST into Reason.

But they also did Bitspeek as an RE - it was their first.

I am just now seeing this, I loaded up the RE hoping for Echobode random knob but looks like only VST update.

Also there is a bug happening for me, I can't create device from edit menu, but can from the browser side window...kinda strange behavior. It might be that I updated to a newer OSX recently, it worked fine before.
