We've just released a 2.0.1 update with some minor tweaks and bug fixes:
  • Notes would hang when changing the sequence length or repeat counts while running
  • Fixed a problem that could cause rare crashes on Windows when recording notes
  • Separated the linked conditions (previous and not previous) from the others in the condition popup menu
  • Rest and Tie buttons now respond to Cmd/Ctrl-clicks
  • Added Remote support for the "Selected Lane" property
  • Fixed graphics bug that could appear when recording Curve 1

I really like note step recorder, but I hate how it looks. The colours. As if it was made by someone who is color blind. Can you please make it look as nice as your Euclidian player RE? That is one of the best looking REs on the store. I will buy NoteStep the moment that happens :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback, lots of stuff to think about for the future! :puf_smile:

But first I have an update with some minor tweaks and bug fixes in the works + a couple of other projects to tend to. ;)
Buddard, could you take a look here please? Basically I'm guessing on the possibility to add a skip/jump function (blank note) plus rec automation (combinator/cv) to the Step.. :idea: :idea: :idea:

The remote name is "Selected Lane". :puf_smile:

It's really weird that it doesn't show up in the export (and it doesn't for me either), because you can see it in Remote Override Edit Mode...

That is a great idea. I hope the do a graphics update. :thumbs_up:
Also, RB, are you going to release the feature requests we discussed a while back. Midi playback modes etc?

I'm planning to add some more features to Step in a free update (for owners of Step 2.0) that is hopefully released later this year. I can't get more specific than that right now, simply because I don't know when I'll have the time to begin working on it. :puf_smile:

Regarding a complete visual makeover, that is a huge undertaking and not a viable investment for a product update, I'm afraid.

i happen to like the gui in its current state and SNR has become one of my most frequently used REs since the 2.0 update. i'm also a big fan of Resonans. looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for the next update - keep up the good work.

For some reason i wasn't even knew this device existed. A miracle. Matrix on steroids.

Does it have "random seed" of notes like Matrix does. I can't find it but it wouldn't be the first time i can't find something in Reason device hehe.

I am not asking for random playback (i see it's there) but random seed of notes like when you are in Matrix and you press "Randomize pattern" - sometimes i am getting quick and usable results from that (when inspiration is stuck).

No, it doesn’t, unfortunately. But you can randomize a pattern in Matrix, and then record it into Step for further manipulation! You can get Step to receive CV/Gate by putting it in a combi and connecting Matrix to its inputs.

Is that item working at your side? I have it connected to my modwheel via the remote override but there doesnt seem to change/switch anything.

edit: i get a value of the item Selected Lane into Remote though. But on the output side nothing seems to happen neither with a codec nor through the override system.

Thank you! I do not believe I would come up with that idea by myself but when you say it - it sound cool and native to Reason.

I've found the problem!

It seems to be an undocumented "feature" in the SDK/Reason related to the property scope.
This problem affects the Remote items "Selected Lanes", "Expand Note View" and "Show Ghost Notes", which will appear in Remote Override Edit Mode, but won't actually work or show up in Remote information export.

If I move these properties to another scope, the Remote objects will start working as expected (I just tried this).
The downside is that lane changes and toggling of the view size and ghost notes will start showing up in the Undo history from now on... But maybe that's not such a big deal?

From my side that is not a big issue, because there are no sound altering effects resulting from a lane or view switch.

Oh, I was merely thinking to change the background image, i.e. Photoshop it. No layout overhaul, just a fast and easy fix, but would make it still look much more similar to Euclidiean. You already changed the knobs to the nicer Euclidiean knobs, so just a simple fix.
The readability with the background shaded midi connector images are quite distracting form the info you try to read.

Has that been fixed?

Edit: just asking because the remote item now shows up in the remote info. But i wasnt able to make it work.

Does Step Note Recorder 2 have the Timing Handles like Sequences, so you can move a group of notes around?
If not, was it a planned update (and still in plan)?

No, Step doesn’t have timing handles, and we’re not planning to add them either.
Step was implemented in a completely different way from Sequences, so unfortunately it’s not possible to add the handles in a way that makes sense for the device as a whole..

I just rediscovered SNR II after updating from v.1 and I must say I'm amazed. It's a hidden gem in step sequencing world of Reason.
Big thank you for massive automation and Remote possibilities.

Goes really well together with MIDI-CV Converter and Autolatch.

I purchased Sequences during the current sale, and am wondering whether SNR II would be too duplicative. What do the owners of this device think?

Hey looks like me and you are on the same track I bought Sequences in the march sale , and Im buying Step note recorder 2 too because I think theres enough different functions to have them both like one doesnt even have different pattern support and the other one isnt really modular so Im looking into ways to combine em

I must've asked this before at some point but is there any plan to implement some different playback modes? Like alt/ping pong, random, stochastic, etc. Unless it can already do something like this and I'm being a huge noob!
