Seems a bit like the first competitor in the Rack style market for Reason

Looks and sounds lovely, but I'm not paying $20 a month for access forever. I guess fine for studios?

It seems like a Combinator except with better graphics and text that isn't 4px high.

Yeah, I could build a few of these with the VSTs I have, it would probably bring my system to its knees though!

Roland have done their homework on this. The GUI seems to be very good and easier to use than the Combinator. Setting max and min settings in the Combi programmer is fiddly as it is very small and sensitive to tiny movements and you can't enter values using a keyboard. Reason is very capable and powerful but there are lots of other options with much better GUIs now, eg all the FabFilter stuff. I think Reason could do with a graphic overhaul as Galaxias looks how RRP probably should in 2023.
