Saved from PUF. The original list. Check your suggestion is not on this list. If it is there's not really any point you posting it again!

It does needs updating to include any Reason 8 features we can cross out, but I've not had time to go through it.

cheers for that !

...I dont see the double combinator (been asked by a lot of users) , the idear was to click on a unfold Arrow and to have the double of knobs and bouttons.


this one made me LOL : ( 67. Automation: stop screen scrolling like mad bastard if pointer goes a little too far whilst dragging the vector dot )

EDIT : this is not a logic one ( 27. Combinator: Routing button to FX device enabled, default to 2 > 1, rather than 0 > 2; no-one has needed a button to turn a device from Off to Bypass!! ) 

some units don't act the same on OFF and on BYPASS and if I use a FX combinator (not on Bus) and I wish to stop the FX but live the sound passing through ?!?! meh ????.

So no thanks this is not Wise or even logic :D LOL
It does not die , it multiplies !

 7.101 and I will upgrade maybe this summer .

Creating a toggle button for an effect is a very common task when programming combinators. The default behavior creates a button that toggles between Off (break the signal flow entirely) and Bypass (let the sound through without processing it). Sometimes you would want Off/On rather than Bypass/On, depending on whether it's an insert effect or a send effect, but the default behavior is never useful under any conceivable circumstance. Defaulting it to Bypass/On or Off/On would save a lot of unnecessary clicks in the programmer view.

With that one we've move well beyond "death by a thousand cuts" and into the realm of "sawing off your own leg with a sharp piece of paper".

Unhappy I forgot to save my own suggestion's thread.

But main feature for me is Reason as ReWire master.

Not only for rotaries! With all those cool CV devices we got now, there's also need for dedicated CV and Gate outputs!!!!

SSL: Solo Save, so that channels (e.g. FX returns routed to channels) keep on playing.
SSL: Fader groups.
SSL: Automation update.
SSL: VCA Faders.
SSL: Surround panning.
Automation: Automation without the need to hit 'Record' first.
Recording: Play the playback and not only the click when precounting.

New, but for me audio is important:

A quick bounce/rex for instruments
Being able to move takes FREELY inside of the arranger. Also, takes turned into new tracks if drag/dropped.
Auto playhead moves back to L marker
Grooved audio (not just quantize or swing)
Speaking of swing, a global "amount" that applies to audio also (but I guess that could just be the groove selection)

Notes: step entry using midi keyboard

Devices: audio device patches - select stereo pair of inputs by name

Reason 8: browser focus improvements, including select browser focus from sequencer view, hold current browser focus longer (less propensity to add new device)

I would guess it would not then be too far off to ask why there are also no presets for the main sequencer? ;)

RPG-8 and Matrix both can sequence notes, not unlike the main sequencer - a preset would be a sequence, no?

But I was just thinking, how nice it would be to have them be able to save. I'm not the sharpest "arpeggiator" in the world, but I'd like to be able to go through "painstaking" programing and save it for future reference. 

Maybe it's just me.

Gak, as a workaround you could save anything in a combinator, but nah, I agree it would be good to be able to save matrix rhythms and arpeggio setups to plug into things, for example it's cool to build up drum patterns in Redrum and use those on different projects.

I'd also like to see prests on Mclass stuff, or at least the ability to 'copy patch'.

I understand what you are saying. I just after a few months am surprised that something that could really benefit from the "preset" thing so many FX/etc have that these two don't have it. I guess that's why there are RE'S that are more advanced.

At this point I would like to point out that since Reason 7.1 we are able to shift+drag a device to autoroute it in position of te signal chain you're dragging into. Shift+alt+drag will copy the dragged device and auto route it. Therefore you can work around the omission of presets.
But I agree that the combinator is a secret preset cupboard, if you care to use it for that.
Cheers!

In line with 8.3 an extended Remote for the Matrix. Programming sequences and curves from an iPad would be nice !
Also add a free mode for the rate and add CV inputs and outputs for more control of sequence rate, duration etc.
