Awesome news for Reason users and for the Rack Extension format in general. I wish there was some easier way to tell them apart though, they look the same and the names are impossible for me to connect to a device mentally.
There's Synth Bundle 1 and Synth Bundle 2 :-P

I agree here. The black designs are actually quite similar across the devices. Even a small splash of (selectable) color somewhere would go a really long way to keeping some sanity in a many-drone project.

They sell different front-ends for their hardware modules. Maybe we see the same in future for the software modules :-)

I just sent a message to Noise Engineering suggesting they could have different LED colors for all the synths, green, purple, red, blue etc. It would make it much easier to tell them apart and they would still have the cohesive style between the synths intact.

Anyone else thinks this is a good idea?
If so let them know. If not let them know also :D

Not a bad idea. This is really because their from a Eurorack background I think, and when there is a mish mash of different device manufacturers and styles it is good to have a strong style so people can recognise your devices. Usually software (and hardware?) manufacturers like their stuff to appear different from other previous devices, but the rule with Eurorack seems to be choose a style and stay true to it.

Props I think are still updating the shop, as new device just appeared in last hour or so (https://shop.propellerheads.com/rack-ex ... ve-plugin/). I asked NE about this and they were also concerned why it's not there yet and contected Props about it. Hopefully it'll go up soon! :)

Honestly, I think putting Lectric Panda and Noise Engineering devices together is what Reason really needs more of. PSQ and these modular devices is going to sound amazing, of that I am sure.

I was seriously done buying REs for a while, but the Synth Bundle 1 went on sale ... now Synth Bundle 2 is coming and just in time for me to finally be coming to grips with PSQ ... GAH!

The rabbit hole is now open ... again.

Sound demos on each product page are from all bundle 2 REs... Not really helping to tell them apart, is it?

Well, check the videos I've posted few posts up - they're not that different to be honest. At least I can't hear it yet.

Yes, thanks for those!

I just think - to the casual observer - the design similarities and not distinguishing the sound examples for each RE make it hard to tell them apart. And at the projected price point (I'd guess double the price of bundle 1) it doesn't seem to be quite pressing enough to convince me at this point... I guess we'll see...
