The reason I am suggesting this is because we may have the two props RE's but this is focused purely on funk/house/dance and an EDM guitar pattern device would be so useful.

I am talking about RG, a rather under appreciated little rocker from the fabulous RP and Jon :)

It has a sequencer similar to predator and Sub Boom, so it could fit into the rack (i think, but please correct me if I am wrong), and the main reason I really love it is because it takes seconds to create ones *own* tempo synced patterns.
See with the A- List, we are limited to pre built patterns. Sure with creative keyboard rhythm playing and the key switches we can somewhat create our own, but to do this RG is basically, well, made for it. Imagine a step sequencer designed entirely around funky guitar rhythms. And the samples are pretty decent too (it's electric only but would also love to see an acoustic version).

So I will do this poll as I know those guys to be awesomely friendly and i believe if we want it they will listen.. Hey i could be alone here and totally off the mark which is why the poll! :)

Cheers and thanks for voting :)

It's a great idea but the issue is overlap with the A-lists, of which I have both. So I would have to trial it first to see what functionality it brings that isn't already covered.

Actually I was thinking of an RE version of Shreddage geared towards lead guitar might be the go. I already have the Refill, but it doesn't sound as good as a real lead guitar in regards lead breaks. And I think that's where there's still room in the market

Can't argue with any of that here... i would love a proper kontakt style major guitar library in RE format..

RG sounds very different from A list though and is programmed an entirely different way. I have been through every single one of a list's patterns and I can't see myself ever using it for dance, at most, pop... Re is actually *designed* for EDM therefore they actually complement each other, not to mentioned you have total control over the actual sequence pattern :) Definitely work a download of the demo and trying it standalone or in another host.. or even trying it in the free image line minihost via reason's ext instr :)

Of course, fair enough, we all write different styles.

Just to be fair to RP though, it can be used from pop and funk/rnb also, but it is the only one i know of that can be used in dance floor stuff as well and sound like it fits into the electronic music.

NI's Scarbee seems to be a bit more advanced though... I know NI's not very likely to come to Reason, but still their product seems much more recent and powerful...

i thought the NI had pre built patterns though? Kind of like A-list? The whole point of RG is that you yourself create the exact timing and sequencing of the pattern.

You might be right on that one... The NI one just sounds a lot better to my ears... :P

It does but it also has a editor where you can add notes slides and more.

but does it actually have a way you can create a pattern itself from scratch?
