that makes no sense to me lol
If you purchased a Reason license I feel like you should have access to it’s features new and old. So just to clarify I can only access from when I bought in at 8?

Darn was hoping to have a pre SSL jam, Iv done it in Reason 9 but there are totally different little features from 5 -10,
I get that you may feel that way, but that makes no sense to me. Why should you be offered past versions you never bought a license for? To me, it seems perfectly logical that if I actually had owned licenses for past version, then sure - I should have access to them. But if you never bought one before, then... ?
I guess I just view it as follows

I see reason as a product not counting which version. If Iv purchased a full license I think it would make sense to get access to the older model as it’s software and not a physical item. I know that it doesn’t make sense to let people get access to 12 when they bought 10. But I feel like if you have the current model, what’s so bad about letting people use the less feature packed version?

So because I have a license, so I have to go and find an older version and pay another 400?

Maybe I’m alone in this line of thinking?

I wouldn't imagine you're alone in that line of thinking, but having others in alignment with your perspective doesn't necessarily make it correct. The way I look at it is: if I bought a license to Windows 10, do I automatically get access to Windows 7 or Windows 95? Maybe a poor example using that particular product, but you hopefully understand my meaning.

If I bought a copy of iZotope Ozone 8, do I get access to Ozone 3 (spoiler alert: I didn't)?

Technical you never licensed the older versions and you don't have any rights to. That you get access to older versions is a generosity, but bot a must.

I can follow your thinking, but if i buy the latest Lamborghini i didn't own automatically the previous versions too... Sadly...

To clear up my train of thought I don’t think it’s 100000% necessaryfor users to gain access to older versions

I just see software different from physical objects. Mainly due to the fact that the newest licenses have way more to them.

Maybe the props could provide an option for purchasing older licenses, that would be amazing! Say you own 10, maybe in hour user account there could be an option to purchase which ever version via direct download for either an upgrade price or some sort of discounted price lol
I can’t find a reason 5 license for the life of me. I’d love to buy an old copy

I think it's interesting that while the Props are busy working on performance improvements, which reaches down into the core of Reason's code base, and likely affects most other facets of the application, they are still able to code and release point fixes to the current version.

Just idle speculation on my part, but I wonder if when they began working on performance, they forked the code and now have two independent strains of Reason in the works. It's difficult for me to imagine they're all working on the same single code base, and yet are able to break off and release point versions that are completely unaffected by the performance work.

Extending this line of thought further... we could ultimately end up with two versions of Reason:
- Classic: which is the current Reason code, optimized for RE support, but with minimum or even no VST support
- Turbo: brand new code base with fully optimized support for VSTs and REs

Like I said... idle speculation :roll:

Indeed, we don't know how well the functional classes are isolated or modularized. If the overall codebase is robust, you could consider backporting portions of the new code and avoid branching. Maybe (even more speculating) this is what happened: some backports of R11 GUI changes to the R10 codebase.

AFAIK that's usual in software development.

In my experience, creating two independent branches of code is only done when A) there is an intention to end-of-life the older branch; or B) there is an intention to support two fully independent versions going forward.

If it's A, then why devote resources to releasing point updates to the old branch? If it's B, the point releases make more sense and the scenario I described in which there are two flavors of Reason available, is more likely.

I suppose there is also option C, where the two code branches will be merged, or backported as madmacman pointed out, but in my 20+ years of working with software companies, this is only done when the code is extremely robust and changes don't involve a complete overhaul of foundational architecture. From what little the Props have let on, it seems like the performance changes involve a substantial rewrite of core code.

But again, this is all pure conjecture and fanciful musings. It doesn't really matter what I think - only the Props know the real truth, and hopefully the results of their hard work will be released to the world very soon!

If you're working with a modern version control system (like git) branching (and merging) is the default way of working and implementing new features.

No. I believe they were introduced in this update. They're working on a fix.

That’s been my (limited) experience using git, lots of branching when making changes that may break things, and when separate teams are working on different parts of the UI or code base.

Have you also now fixed the bug that means you can no longer set up the extra MIDI port on Nectar Panorama keyboards without crashing Reason please? I was told it would be fixed in 10.2.1 but it wasn't and I'm getting no reply to my follow-up emails to your tech support. Thanks.

So this is going to be quite the awesome week:) thanks for giving us something to look forward to!

I appreciate all the updates and groundwork that you guys do, I wonder if vps avenger will work any better. I think that specific synth has a specific issue though. Either way, does the update let users get more instances of sayyyyy, serum?

Reason 10.2.2 is zooming through the intertubes as I write this. It solves the graphic issue on Windows. You can now safely update again within a few minutes! Sorry for the hassle.

Careful there! My heart skipped a bit, because "graphical issue on Windows" for me = low-res / blocky graphics on high-DPI screens ;)

But on a serious note - thanks for quick reaction! :thumbs_up:

Oh, quite the contrary - I have nothing but utmost respect for what you (& team) are doing and wish you all the success!

So if anything, I'd prefer a term "stalker" :D

Ahhh ok I’m slow, I had s brain warble and thought that the mentioned fix was for the vst support lol

Is there any guess as to when that is coming out?

Hi does anyone know if 10.2.2 contains vst performance improvements or if it is just to fix the 10.2.1 issue with graphics on legend etc. I am aware that 10.2.1 fixed bug fixes and was not the vst performance update.
