Player Device Bundle in shop
Posted: 06 Mar 2019
We already have vst support and depending on what and how many vst's you run, performance isn't as horrible as some people say. All that being said, these players have a lot of elegance and originality, and I don't see much better replacements from vst world in terms of Reason's workflow.
you're confusing vst instrument/fx which we all know work...midi vst's don't without jumping through hoops, aka the loopback work around, which most of us don't hassle withzoidkirb wrote: ↑06 Mar 2019We already have vst support and depending on what and how many vst's you run, performance isn't as horrible as some people say.

Ah I see. If you don't mind, could you recommend some better or cheap vst alternative to komplusion and qng? They are the two best players in the bundle. Anyway, I still feel the RE format has it's own workflow value. I've used hundreds of vst fx and instruments over the years in cubase and ableton, and have only switched to reason recently but am in love with the whole RE and rack system.MarkTarlton wrote: ↑06 Mar 2019you're confusing vst instrument/fx which we all know work...midi vst's don't without jumping through hoops, aka the loopback work around, which most of us don't hassle withzoidkirb wrote: ↑06 Mar 2019

I think the only players we could hope to reasonably see added as stock devices are the Propellerhead brand devices (QNG and DS). Other than the Amps, they haven't ever included 3rd party REs as stock devices. Don't get me wrong, it would be great if they added 3rd party REs as stock devices, I just don't see it happening. EDIT: I forgot that 3 new devices (Humana, Klank and Pangea) were 3rd party refills (SoundIron) at one time, weren't they?BananaSkins wrote: ↑07 Mar 2019Can we assume some of these players will be incoporated free into Reason 11 in 2020?
You are probably a much better keyboard player than me. I'm glad you find it useful. Maybe someday I will too. I need to do more playing, for sure. I've gotten pretty lazy about actually playing. I don't ever find myself using MIDI inputs anymore. I think I need to bust out my MIDI to USB cords and blow them off. One problem is that my mobile USB controller stopped working about 2 years ago and I haven't hooked up my full-size keyboard since then. Been lazily and happily using players and the sequencer for too long.
After what the Props did with Radical Piano, that's not an unlikely prediction. Ever since that incident I've been very cautious of buying any RE that's made by the Props.BananaSkins wrote: ↑07 Mar 2019Can we assume some of these players will be incoporated free into Reason 11 in 2020?
Yeah, they have a track record of doing such things... one time for purchase REs, later included as stock devices. This is the list that I remember:jam-s wrote: ↑07 Mar 2019After what the Props did with Radical Piano, that's not an unlikely prediction.

I think Pulsar, Audiomatic and Synchronous were all offered for free in the beginning, at least for those running the latest version of Reason. Exactly like Drum Sequencer! So I think Drum Sequencer is a pretty hot candidate to be included in later versions of Reason. I doubt this will be the case for QNG or Complex-1, though.challism wrote: ↑08 Mar 2019Yeah, they have a track record of doing such things... one time for purchase REs, later included as stock devices.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them add more Prop-brand REs to the stock devices. In fact, I would be surprised if they didn't.
