Chord Sequencer 1.1 update now available (latest: 1.1.2)

[PhillipOrdonez]

And they also updated pattern mutator not that long ago.

I think people will start truly noticing when RS update old devices allowing automation for all parameters, and code automatic one click routing to individual mix channels to multiple output devices like Kong, redrum, etc. Things like that that make life easier and make glorious noises.

[jam-s]

Yeah, they have done in the past (albeit sparingly) with the Dr.Octo.Rex, Europa and Combinator too.

Don't forget Beat Map! In Reason 11.3 we added 2 additional maps + preset buttons for common pattern lengths.

RV7000 mkII was also a pretty big improvement with the addition of the convolution algorithm + custom IR loading.

Yes, those were really good additions. Now I (still) hope that Kong could get some love and finally get 16 individual stereo outputs (one for each pad) and a button to keep the pad-to-output-mapping fixed when loading patches.

Yes. Kong needs one stereo out per pad. Yes! And if there are 16 outputs, you don't even need to have pad to output routing. Like on mimic, they are fixed, which would solve the patch switching output issue.

Kong channels , exactly. It is my all time most used device in Reason. I would go as far as to say it could use a button , or right click option that created and routed all 16 pads to mix channels automatically.

[EnochLight]

Wait... They updated an old device? Added features? Wtf?

Yeah, they have done in the past (albeit sparingly) with the Dr.Octo.Rex, Europa and Combinator too.

Parsec as well (the original at launch didn’t have a lot of the features that “2.0” has currently, including custom displays).

Automatic mix channel routing on Kong, redrum, mimic, umpf and all multi output devices!

One extra feature I would like to see added is the ability to select multiple notes to be passed on via the bass notes cv maybe a simple alt click inside the chord edit mode.

Oh yes and Parsec but I was thinking of native devices. Just thought, they updated RV7000 as well by adding convolution.

Yeah I just mentioned the RV7000 before seeing your reply. Yeah that convolution was a great addition / improvement.

All great updates!

And big THANK YOU to RS for listening to their user base and increasing the max steps on Pattern Mutator from 99 to 128. I made a lot of noise with that request, and I'm not sure that I ever publicly thanked RS for adding those extra steps... so a belated THANK YOU to RS for that!

How awesome would it be to see RS do similar updates to legacy devices like they did with Dr Rex and RV7000. I hope they consider it.

Mine has a bug,
if I try to playback from 1-8 bars, most of the times it only play bars 1 to 4....

Do you mean CS loops again before bars 5-8 while it is set to 8 bars? Or is it playing through bars 5-8, but not triggering the chords? Do you have an example file or screenshot? Is the main Reason sequencer set to loop bars 1-4 by chance? Do you have other MIDI notes in Reason's sequencer on top of chords in CS's sequencer? Any CV connections?

[bullt]

Yes, it loops sometimes again before bars 5-8 while it is set to 8 bars

Video: is it just me, oe does Ryan have a cold?

No, I picked up on that too. Been hearing his voice in promos for well over a decade, and he definitely sounded congested.

Hahah! You guys are correct. I had a cold, actually one that I'm still getting over the last symptoms of but i was def congested. It's funny because I filmed most of that video on a Monday which was day one of my cold and I thought I sounded pretty passable but the raver clips I filmed on a Thursday once all the props arrived and I was SUPER congested then. I tried my best to sound at least like I was at Monday's level of congestion but I can certainly hear on the rave joke line and the ending line of the video that I sound like a marshmallow head.

Hope you shake it off soon Ryan. No fun broadcasting with a crappy cold. I had to do that many years back, in my first big break in radio I finally got to do some primetime reporting and almost immediately got the worst cold I’d ever had, it made me sound like a kind of castrated Bugs Bunny with the most ridiculous squeaky nasal voice. My brainwave fix - this was back in the analog days - was to record all my links to tape and then bounce them down with the Revox varispeed dialled down by around a quarter to make my voice sound deeper plus I boosted the desk EQ at around 300Hz or so to put a bit more bottom end in. Net effect was pretty damn weird TBH, like Bugs Bunny’s dad had got wasted and decided to do a radio show while speaking reaaaalllllyyy slowwwlllly, but I kind of got away with it (I think). Anyhoo, get well soon! And… great video, absolutely loved it.

Do you have a patch or Reason file you can share?

[steff3]

Seems there is a version 1.1.1 - no change log though .....

[huggermugger]

Oh, you got me excited for a minute. I thought they had fixed the copy/paste bug, but it doesn't look like it.

Good catch. Did you report it?

I did indeed.

Looks like i started my trial just before this update, wasn't really taking to the device tbh but looks like I can't trial the new updates. Tried deleting and syncing all but always downloads v1.0

Are you using Companion or launching Authorizer from your account?

Not sure what companion is, i thought hitting sync all took care of updating devices where available?

The Companion app is if you are using Reason+. If updating from your account, you might want to download Chord Sequencer separately.

[doze]

Sync All doesn't seem to be working like it used to? At least for me, i need to select the things I want to download, and physically add the free updates, or click Update on the My Products page.
