I summon the eternal knowledge of ReasonTalk!

So, I was looking at this UniChannel (btw is 33€ now) and I thought how beautiful it is :cool: .

I was thinking, since I have a bunch of analogue obsession plugins, among other great tools, how about some kind of wrapper that you could easily (or not) build your own graphical interface like this:

The keypoint is to maintain the graphical interface from the plugins.
Anybody got suggestions how to find this type of wrapper / solution ?

You can only recreate it as a Combinator2, but this is a bit limited, since you cannot have your own knobs, faders, buttons, displays.

Otherwise there is no way of wrapping a VST inside into the Reason rack. Only way is re-programming as a RE. Wrapping of VSTs in a RE is not allowed (AFAIK) and hardly possible.

For VST-only, there are wrapper solutions, but they often came with their own interfaces and "open" the VST. The possibilities might be limited, depending on the "wrapper".

In theory one could write a VST wrapper that can crop and compose multiple VST interfaces into a combined view (it might be pretty tricky like using a virtual graphics card to proxy/capture the drawing actions of the VST, but it should be possible). But I think the end result will look like a frankenstein UI, so I suppose nobody dares to build this.

Just to clarify my amazing prototype lol: It's a pop-up window like another common vst inside reason.

I've browsed this section, found something options related to this.

I guess I'm just spoiled by Reason, and I like to see the interfaces, most of the solutions like bluecats patchworks hide the UI.

The more I think of this, the most similar thing that came to mind, it's a type of scenario like Reaktor, you can position the "extensions / essembles"
It can be a frankstein for sure, but I can live with that :D .
