Hi Everyone. So I have 122 Reward points. Which means I have 100 reward points to spend.

It pretty much comes down to a selection of synths since I have most of the effects.

I am leaning toward Algoritm

But here are some other options that interest me also:

1) Rob Papen Quad

2) Resonans

3) Super Audio Cart

4) Layers Wave

5) Layers

6) Algoritm

As far as players go I could pick one of the following but they are only $69 and I lean toward spending on synths that are $99 to get full use of the available rewards unless someone convinces me otherwise.

1) Quad Note Generator

2) Pattern Mutator

3) PolyStep Sequencer


I thought it would be fun to ask those of you with experience using these tell me which you would pick and why?

Any insights are greatly appreciated.

For those you can use a 50€/$ off voucher only. So you could get a better deal if they go on sale and save your reward points for better options.

Of those 3 I think Algorithm is the best choice.

If you're interested in the players you could also get two of those using two $50 vouchers and paying 2x$19=$38 (not a bad deal for two of those imho).

I'm pretty sure the 100 vouchers only cover Reason products, I was in the same boat a few weeks ago and I got Algoritm.

Spend a bit of time with Resonans and see how you like it. It's an amazing instrument

You can only use the 100 voucher on RS devices and I would suggest Algorithm

Agreed, Algorithm seems the best choice.
Some of the items on your list are probably going to be a better deal come black friday which is not far away.

Algoritm seems the most versatile and fun to play with.

That being said, Im not much into players and I dont have the Rob Papen or Super Audio Cart.

Algoritm for me as well. Amazing synth which I feel like I've only used 20% of what it is really capable. I love the sounds and concepts of Rob Papen synths but I always felt like the VSTs versions are designed much better than the racks...

I agree. Being more of a preset user I was underwhelmed with the number of supplied presets with Algorithm ( but it appears to be a very capable synth). Partly why I love Papen's amazing synths, tons of presets to start from.
But I suspect I'm in the minority, as most probably use reason with a sound design from scratch hat on.
