Combinator 2 :)

Have any feature requests? No promise they'll get to Reason Studios, but you can still discuss them here.

Was thinking about VST's and the lack of CV outputs on them hopefully this can be something that could be implemented. But then again if you had CV outputs on a combinator or mix channel it would make life a lot easier for programming the next device. Think of: making filter effects.
You set a rotary in lets say FabFilter Pro Q2 we don't want the actual filter settings rather the cv information that could be associated with the frequency knob or gain knob. You set the cv output in the programmer the same way but this time the CV value can be scaled to and from. So when the filters frequency hits the 200 Hz mark then hits the 6400Hz mark this is when the cv value is 0-127 is triggered. (That would work out to be 5 steps in cv value roughly 26 for each note octave).

Another example the frequency filter on a Subtractor or Malstrom controlling another frequency on a different device in a different mix channel or combi. You can even set that frequency change to trigger other effects inside the combi or mix channel. e.g. if you set the frequency out to between 20 and 80 this will trigger the rotary value for a delay for just between these frequency the effects you'd be able to get would be epic.

Think of like this the device is your midi controller! Having cv outs would have other side effects for that one lazy remote override you keep using 1 knob could control a plethora of devices and even the run buttons on some devices.

If anyone knows of a way to change a cv in to a cv out please chime in!

Multichannel combinator outputs. Why just stereo? Why not have an 8 channel output?

A notepad would be VERY handy, to remember what is what in the Combinator. It would also be beneficial for sharing Combinator patches with others.

Would love to be able to link devices in a combinator to the programmer without going into the menus to do so. Like how the new update to eXpanse does it. I think its the new SDK for RE's actually. You click and drag the arrow to the control to link it to the mod matrix. FabFilter Twin 2 does it brilliantly. Need some sort of line or cable for it in Reason.



Who's bold enough to make a RE combinator2 could call it MODULATOR

Would also love to see a version of a combinator for the likes of matrix's a slimmer version or a collapsible window around devices that keeps them in view of the rack but with a box around them letting you know its in a combinator. Collapse the rotary section but still have the device section in view more a less.

You have to put effects and stuff in a separate combi then link them with spiders & empty rpg-8's to use more knobs if you don't use empty thors or the CV 8X4.
