Speculation thread - RS releasing new device

[crimsonwarlock]

My guess: a sequenced distortion/mangler. Possibly inspired/influenced by Mick Gordon's Doom instrument.

[Mataya]

Would be great if we list the things we don't have, so we can choose something from the list. Because I don't really want to see another revolutionary device that we already have. I mean we can already FM, subtract, add, mangle, distort, compress, delay, twist, play, enhance, Lo-fi it, colour it, classic, modern, Vocoded... what else there is?

I'd like to see some Noise Reduction system implemented.

Most likely a variation (read “rip off copy”) of an RE already released by another dev.

That's about it really.

Anything else is just going to be too complicated to operate.

You can have creative combinations of effects - but we've already got combinators for that

Maybe it's a RE version of the ujam finisher devices with a mix n match algorithm interface

[Noise]

Maybe they are just reading this thread to get ideas from

[Marc Swing]

A mastering Re

What about a "Reason Sound" FX device?

Apparently Niklas (CEO) recently said in an interview:

"We have a new one coming out in March that Peter has developed, so watch out for that."

What do you think it will be?

An RE that comes out in April instead of March

Distortion/saturation. Huge, ubiquitous part of production and sound design and mixing across genres, and there hasn’t been a new dedicated device for it since 2003. Also there have been major improvements in digital distortion/saturation algorithms in recent years.

Pulveriser in 2011! Still very good for distortion and filtering.

Anyway, you are right though; distortion/saturation does certainly match their description of 'a modern take on a classic effect'...

Might be a challenge to surpass the recent Ruina from Noise Engineering

I didn’t count pulverizer as a dedicated distortion unit since it does compression and filtering and only has one distortion type with only a gain and tone control.

Ruina is very cool, but I think a new dedicated distortion/saturation effect from Reason Studios would focus a little more on some of the more basic, "bread and butter" kinds of distortion/saturation sounds (even if it could also do some more wild, creative stuff, too).

My guess is a TalkBox effect. *leaves $.02 on the table*

now let's not go giving them any sweet ideas like that

No need for a new device since it's already built in

Maybe it will be something to appeal to the 'new generation of musicians' like a "MIDI Chord Pack" Re , that will make our tracks all so easy, and sound "Dope" and "Sick" and all those other words that meant the exact opposite when I was growing up

I would imagine the "Reason Sound" FX RE to be about 4u in hight and have a prominent big knob to select the kind of Reason version/vintage from Reason 1 up to Reason 11! Then all it would do would be to add a little bit of inaudible random noise to the signal so a null test would not null but apart from this it would mainly be a placebo.

Salvation,
I'm not good at divination, but I'm not sure for a distortion we already have distortion scream 4, distortion foldback D-11 and Pulveriser Demolition & Synchronous Effect Mudulator, not to mention all the roundabout ways to create distortion using the inputs of certain instruments.

maybe a Halftime kind of beat delay but better (it's a classic today in the sense that it's present in almost all recent productions)
or even a granular synthesis effect like the portal or the recent EFx Fragment.

Honestly, I don't know

[moneykube]

spectral grain based player with variations of poly modular oscillators replicating one hand clapping ...
cpu efficient and versatile....
One can hope.

[deigm]

M

Yes please

[Billy+]

I think I've figured it out.......

A distortion device that houses the 14 types available in the selection of devices already available

[Creativemind]

They could build some kind of physical modeling synth (similar to Friktion), but modeled after wind instruments instead of strings.

I hope not, sounds awful.

How d'you know that having never heard it?
