- Multiple tracks and mixer
- MIDI in
- Drum sampler
- General sampler (like NN-19)
- Reverb and delay send effects on the mixer
- More scale options for the keyboard (chromatic, in particular)
- More loop lengths (16-bar, 32-bar)
- Horizontal piano roll
Many people in the iPad music scene already have their preferred workflows (with Cubasis, AUM, Beatmaker, etc.). They would prefer to see a tool like this slot into their existing workflows as another sound generator plug-in.chimp_spanner wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018I'm not 100% sure on what the vision is for RC but I imagine it to be an idea starter that will transition seamlessly to Reason, and so for that reason I think it unlikely that it'll get AU. TBH if it comes with some decent ported versions of Reason synths, I wouldn't need AU anyway!
Not saying it's not possible but I gave up that dream a long time ago! And if I'm being totally honest, some kind of port of Reason (even if it was more like 5 than 10) was my last hope for it becoming a reality. I find iOS really tedious to work on, either because of it's dumb file system limitations or because the vast majority of apps opt for scenes and patterns instead of a proper timeline editor (Nanostudio 2 might still deliver but who knows when that'll show up). So I dunno. I'm still very interested in what RC becomes but there's simply no substitute for big-boy Reason for me and I don't think there will be for a while yet!theshoemaker wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018No sketchpad. want to create full tracks on Compact.

Guys you are way to pessimistic about this. The question is whether they want to deliver a full blown DAW with Reason Compact.Aosta wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018Though I think it would be amazing to have reason on an ipad I think korg gadget had that sewn up a long time ago.
For props to really deliver it would have to compete with gadget and then offer something beyond and that is a long way off, I think they simply missed the boat on the mobile platform.
Honestly I don't want to see a port, that would be crap. The UI and workflow like it is right now is brilliant. They just have to add more to it. Im pretty sure we will see Dr. Octo Rex soon, as they already ported the code to gadget on iOSchimp_spanner wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018Not saying it's not possible but I gave up that dream a long time ago!

How about mighty Thor? That released some years ago but where is Inter-App Audio compatibility?theshoemaker wrote: ↑31 Aug 2018Honestly I don't want to see a port, that would be crap.

Europa is just fine for me, if they add more of it's features plus the modulation matrix. I love the sequencer. The only thing left for me right now is scenes for creating many of this 8 bar loops and tracks with more devices, add a kong and another synth (most up on the wishlist is Parsec). But to be honest, not really necessary, I think Europa is equally good for lead sounds. Not really interested in Thor, as I find its workflow awkward. Thor is the least of all synths I'd love to use in Reason Compact. I also have it on iPad, but not using itljekio wrote: ↑31 Aug 2018How about mighty Thor?

Without inter-app it just synth for itself.
And to pay for the locked capabilities of Europa will be strange, if there midi-input not presented and what will be with sequencer nobody knows.
Great thread idea! Here's mine:Ted Pikul wrote: ↑29 Aug 2018I think that most of you who have tried out Reason Compact agree that it is a little too compact for most music-making purposes. The Reason Compact team clearly plans to add more devices and features in the future. Let's offer them our advice on which features to prioritize.
Even two tracks would be great. (With different sounds of course)Steedus wrote: ↑02 Sep 2018At least give us the ability to add more instruments/tracks (even if only more instances of Europa currently).. Seems rather pointless at the moment, only being able to have the one instrument.
Or was I just missing something obvious? I've deleted the app as well, so can't check.
What you suggested earlier in the thread. Some great ideas there. Also audio to MIDI for capturing ideas recorded with your phones mic & converted to MIDI notes. That would be a really handy feature for when an idea comes to mind whilst out & about.EnochLight wrote: ↑03 Sep 2018Right so, this is a feature request thread. We all know Reason Compact is missing features you all want. Please chime in and share the features you need!
Unfortunately, Reason Compact is pretty much a dead app as far as development is concerned. To my knowledge, they don't really have a mobile app team anymore, the Product Manager of Reason Compact was re-assigned to a different role (I'm not sure if she even works there anymore), and it's unlikely we'll see any new movement in Reason Compact as far as new features are concerned. It was indelibly tied to Reason DAW standalone as a tool, and development on Reason DAW standalone moves at a snail's pace as it is.tomusurp wrote: ↑11 Aug 2023I want to start using a mobile DAW, just tried reason compact. Although I’m impressed, as others have mentioned the 8 bar restriction is disappointing. And this thread is a few years old. Honestly I would love to see them make light versions of the most popular rack devices, effects, utilizes, and players. I was going to say a baby redrum but I like the Rytmik
They should make a poll for top 3 on each category, with the exception of instruments having a bit extra.

If you're looking for a true mobile DAW, then you'd have better luck with Cubasis, or if you're a recent iPad owner - Logic.
