AutoTheory (Pro)

[EdGrip]

Hello!
This could have gone in VST, Reason General, or here. I picked one. Move it if need be.

I spotted that AutoTheory Pro is on sale at PluginBoutique - http://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3 ... f7faf6caa0

I've always been interested in AutoTheory, but the GUI of the RE is like sadness and boredom made of pixels so I was always put off.
The GUI of the general non-RE version is much more appealing* but really, my question is:

Do the Players make AutoTheory largely obsolete?

Thanks,
- Ed

Nah, mate. Nah.

The VST version actually won't work in Reason because it's output is MIDI.

I don't think the players make AutoTheory obsolete. Their functionality overlap but not completely.

Ahh, thanks for that. It was just a thought.

i just bought it ( 17€ ), it's autotheory version 2 ( in reason , it's always version 1 )
it seems it is possible to play auto-theory apps with reason or in reason, i dont know how ( we have to go in preferences control surface )
this is not simple
and to install we have to pass by ilok licence which crazy thing
everything is complicated with that

AutoTheory is not a VST plugin, it's a MIDI mapper software. It connects to any DAW by sending MIDI information to the MIDI input of your DAW. So the "standalone" version works perfectly even with Reason.

Oh sorry, I overlooked that in my what's-not-an-RE-must-be-a-VST-view
Here's a tutorial:

No worries

This is of course much more cumbersome, so I would go with the RE (I have them both) in case I would be using Reason only.
