Nah, not ruined Reason. Reason is special nonetheless. If you - as an musician / producer - want to write tracks just with Reason 1 - 5 devices; you still can. I have an empty template just running on those devices (i also have few computers running the old versions, but that's another story). Just using the good old propellerhead devices can be beautiful, especially when writing techno / ambient. And on the first note; I wouldn't say it ruined it. It opened it up for more users. People were screaming for it for years, so I guess vst support is what the majority wanted.

Main thing VST's opened up for me was access to a lot of both free and very inexpensive devices (and a lot more sales/promotions) that are really decent.arnigretar wrote: ↑18 Feb 2021Nah, not ruined Reason.

Like https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-nova/ is really nice and free. I'm sure there are equivalent or better EQ's as rack extensions but aren't cheap enough for me to impulse buy for the convenience.
or how about:
https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack ... nthesizer/ ($82 CAD) vs https://blamsoft.com/vst/vk-1-viking-synthesizer/ (free)
I'd totally prefer to have vk-1 as a RE but not $82 enough.
I do music stuff as a hobby so at the end of the day cost does matter a lot.
Well, technically it's not free, but pay what you want (which can be $0.00).jjrh wrote: ↑19 Feb 2021

I make the odd donations to developers who offer this, even when I haven't used it for years as what they create is valuable, and if we all blow a daily load on fast food, coffee, and lots of other things
Fair point. I really should donate or buy VK-2 because it's a pretty awesome deviceavasopht wrote: ↑19 Feb 2021Well, technically it's not free, by pay what you want (which can be $0.00).

I'll say this: Reason standalone not supporting VST3 is now becoming an official pain in my a s s, as the new Roland Juno 60 is only VST3, so now I have to use it in Nektarine in Reason (which is not optimal).

Did you try this VST3 wrapper?EnochLight wrote: ↑19 Feb 2021I'll say this: Reason standalone not supporting VST3 is now becoming an official pain in my a s s, as the new Roland Juno 60 is only VST3, so now I have to use it in Nektarine in Reason (which is not optimal).
