Can't produce in the bedroom - people are sleeping there!

I don't believe there is any. It's pretty much the same product.

No performance improvement, but slightly faster startup time, due in part to the removal of ReWire.

Reason Intro 11 is 79€ and come with Reason Rack Plugin that incude Europa, and many more devices. Is it the end of the Euopa VST plugin that costs 129€ alone ?

That's going to piss off a lot of people who bought it full price.

it probably just means they won’t be supporting it going forward/making further updates to it. I’m sure it won’t become suddenly unusable for people who bought it.

Lack of support for current owners is the main issue. Europa VST is still a relatively new plugin, it was on sale recently too. The new MacOS is going to break many plugins and future update will also likely do the same.

Cool; thanks!
To be perfectly frank, if I was choosing a new DAW today either Live or Bitwig would work great. When I purchased Bitwig in early 2018, Live was still at v9.7 and a year later v10 and v10.1 fixed lots of my issues with it and added tons of functionality. They've really stepped up their game recently. I'm a Push2 owner (works great with Bitwig, btw) so I've pretty inexpensive path to get Suite again if it knocks me off my feet with v10.x updates or v11 somewhere down the line.

I mean all DAWs are awesome nowadays, incl. Reason :)
Ive released tracks i made in Bitwig. Its a great daw. But reason 11 will be my new one. Its simple and i dont have too many issues with the sequencer that some do here. I play most of my parts live and sequence the rest and Reason Is amazing for that. Its also faster for me to get drums and synths sounding how i want. Very easy and very musical.

Bitwig and ableton are amazing daws but lack the immediacy and musicality of reason. Just my opinion but setting up midi routing in ableton can be painful. Bitwig really improved on that piece but their built in instrument and effects are lacking. The grid to me is not really that great. Just my opinion, i still can make music in any daw but reason suits my workflow.

is it standard practice to release a plugin and then be expected to provide future updates for it? I don’t use a ton of VSTs, but I use enough to say that it seems like that kind of support must be fairly uncommon.

It's reasonable at a bare minimum to expect products to be kept up to date enough to survive o/s updates.
As for feature updates, that's more up to the goodwill and sometimes the price spent. Look at something like xfer serum: very expensive plugin but years later and it's still getting big updates, for free.
Similar with Steinberg halion although point updates are free, numbered upgrades cost. Europa was up there in price with those two so for the sake of those (few?) people that paid for the vst, i'd hope they're looked after.

I think it would go down like a lead balloon on the forums if Europa VST became abandonware such that it stopped working in new OS's. That's negative chat that Props could do without, so I'd like to think they would keep it working. As for new features, Reason devices don't tend to get them after the first year or two of a device's life.

"That's going to piss off a lot of people who bought it full price."

LOL if this forum had a motto, it would be that. Along with "With this release, it's clear the company is in trouble".

It does make me wonder though, if Props are uniquely good at creating these kind of situations.

The thing that came in my mind when I read Europa VST will be discontinued, is a scalable Reason Rack VST 🤔

Well new Reason 11 website is online but one can not download. Links on download page are still pointing to v10.

If we activated Reason 10 two weeks ago, should we see R11 license in our account later today?

Chill everyone and give it a few hours to settle.

I was about to buy Reason 11 intro but I have seen some strange things on the Reason Studios site :
- they say that Intro come with 11 effects but 21 are checked in the list,
- and something that annoy me : the half-rack delay and chorus/flanger have desappeared. Can be a big problem with Combinator patches...
- and a "bug" : in the effect list, the COMP-01 Compressor/Limiter have the picture of the UN-16 Unison.
- another "bug" : the Spider CV Merger & Splitter appears twice : in the effects list and the utilities list.

So I don't know what to do because I'm not sure of what is really in the package....

Ironing out some design issues still, checkmarks appearing where they shouldn't be. The top numbers are correct. The effects included in Intro are:
  • Audiomatic Retro Transformer
  • Scream 4 Distortion
  • RV7000 MkII Reverb
  • Softube Bass Amp
  • Softube Amp
  • MClass Compressor
  • MClass EQ
  • MClass Stereo Imager
  • MClass Maximizer
  • DDL-1 Digital Delay Line
  • CF-101 Chorus/Flanger
