2.  AudioRealism's ABL3 Bass Synth (303 emulation) is in beta with upcoming Reasonistas song challenge to be announced. Image   

3.  New Dev, Ocean of Waves' Concert470 is a sampled FM Synthesizer Rack Extension in Beta
Image   


4.  Primal Audio's FM4 Re synth is in beta.

Here FM4 for iPad in case you didn't know the original version.Image  
 

5.  Reveral Sound Spire continue to develop Spire Synth RE format for Reason.   Note:  This is an image of their VST version.Image  
6.  Unless something unforeseen happens, I'll have the beta build of the SU-27 Surround Matrix Decoder together this weekend. Just finishing up some stuff in the GUI right now. It'll be a short beta period (it doesn't do all that much), and hopefully it'll be in the store in around the second week of May (it'll be a $9 RE--it doesn't do all that much).  Then I'll get back to the synth.

Here's what it's looking like at this very moment (in fancy 3D):
Image 

7.  Another ScuzzyEye Re is a new synth: "I've got all the GUI inputs on the front panel now. Again, this isn't the final design, or positioning, but I can replicate all parts of a factory patch now (but still need more DSP code before it will sound the same)."
Image
 
8. Red Rock Sound also advised they are working on their first original synth leaking this partial image on their FB page:
"According to user requests, several waveforms simultaneously with adjustment band independently for each."
Image  
9.  Jiggery Pokery's X-705 Combo Organ

Image 

10.  Devoloop's "Rhino" Analogue Distortion Module awaiting shop approval
Image  

11.  Devoloop's "Holedo" Dynamics Expander awaiting Ph shop approval
Image  

12.  Zvork's unknown device leaked via their Facebook page
Image

13. Studio Corbach's Mixfood Unison XS is a sampled-based synth Re (in beta?) -  http://www.studiocorbach.nl/mixfood-unison-xs/
Image 


Image 

14. Lectric Panda's "Propulsion" for sequencing beats. 

Image 
 
15. Lectric Panda's Four Channel "Skope M4".  Displays work when folded as well.

Image    

16. Lectric Panda's MoPol
"Lots of people have asked for Korde to be able to output the pseudo polyphonic CV that all the stock reason synths support.  I've been holding off on adding it, and finally decided to just make a separate device that will do the conversion.  At least this way it can be used with all the other sequencers like matrix and whatnot.  It will be headed for acceptance testing very soon."

Image  Image 

17.  Combinator HQ's THR33-P us under Development and still in Alpha..... but hopefully not much longer before moving to beta.  This is an IDT based Re as since it is it will sample based.  But as planned it will have 8 banks of 16 (128 instruments) multi-sampled from the original unit.  I've tried to add as much (if not more) functionality into this to exceed the abilities of the original.  Among the instruments will be pure saw, square, pulse and noise waveforms so users can create in combinators.

Image 

For those not familiar with the original... here ya go....

18. Quadelectra's "Jackbox" IDT drum devices of the legendary Roland 808 and 909 drum machines.  In beta.

Thanks Noel. (and Electro...)

I can't wait to try Ochen's new synth. I really think that is going to take some beating for breakdowns/fills/drops etc. Love the architechure.

Didn't know about the Red Rock one ... could be nice!

small edit, that synth from Red Rock is actually there second Synth! Ivoks is there first even though it's a emulation.This new one could be considered as there first Original from the gown up Synth :-) 
My opinion is that Propellerhead REASON needs a complete rewrite!
P.S: people should stop saying "No it won't happen" when referring to a complete rewrite of REASON. I have 3 letters for ya....VST

Ochen's synth reminds me of the OP-1

Image 

I have the FM4 on ipad and it is a great synth, would fit nicely in the rack. :)
I have embraced Allihoopa. Come listen and play with my crap Figure loops here:

i'd consider 5 to be vapour.  thanks for picking up the baton from electrochoc though, his RE threads were the best thing about the PUF RE forum.

Yeah choc did a great job and thanks for taking the reins now Noel. Always kept a close eye on that thread by choc. It was well presented and you could see the effort that went into it. I don't know my way around FM synths. Is FM4 good for bass?

Definitely most excited for ABL3 and FM4. I'm massively into groovebox style music making at the moment, so pairing the ABL3 up with Boom 808 will be most excellent. Now we just need a faithful 909 replica, and a bundle deal on Jackbox 707/727, right? ;)

I just trialed ABL2 and realised something. Neither ABL2 or 3 (from the looks of it) supports pitch bend. DOH! :s0959:  I myself is one of those that plays pretty much constantly with the pitch stick, and not being able to shape the phrasing freely is a pretty strong dealbreaker for me. I guess I'll try to emulate the sound in thor instead.. I get the whole "emulation of the original" thing though, but why not add such an obvious improvement? (heres a vid of me playing with the pitch bend btw:
