Reason High Resolution Graphics: Join the Testing Team!

[jam-s]

Just to set some expectations here, guys... today's video isn't announcing Reason 12. It's just talking about high resolution graphics and opening up a public testing effort for that. You'll see when you see the video.

So the HD update will be coming as Reason 11.5 then? This would fit into the previous series of .5 updates that introduced larger rewrites.

This is my best guess, if we're keeping a book.

can some Beta tester say something about if the REs are also high?

The beta testers are not allowed to talk about details, so please do not ask. Thanks for your understanding.

There is nothing about any way to access a download from that link. You can write tickets, but there aren't any explanation or direction on how to download the beta

Hi,
It is well indicated on the site of the beta how to download and install, there is also a forume on the site of the beta which will be more adapted to your request

Actually, there seems to be a glitch when clicking the link indicated in the beta forum. I get this message

"oops

I also got a Reason 11 Beta license number attached to my account as well, but I keep getting an error when clicking the link to access the beta download page

You really shouldn't be posting on public forums - contact support, you agree to abide with an NDA during signup....

I'm not upgrading from R10 to R11 just for hi-res.

So I hope full-blown R12 - with MASSIVE Logic Pro-level enhancements and new features - comes out soon because I am actually looking forward to it.

I never signed any NDA. Im not in any private beta programs for Reason. What are you even talking about with an NDA?

So, I've been on the Beta programme for quite a while. I downloaded the latest update and there is no change to graphics., just a couple of minor bug fixes. Am I missing something?

Yes, you are either missing the right download or you are not in the beta for "hires" version.

You signed an NDA to be able to participate on the beta program. Its not possible to participate i the beta without signing an NDA. You better re-read the contract you have signed.

I didn't sign anything, I guess I am not in the beta then

I think they was covering their ass......

Or the fact that no actual signing was done - but you definitely agreed to one.

Yes, probably. But feel free to ask support or ask in the official beta forum.

Its nothing special to ask for and sign an NDA for a beta.

[vertibration]

Fact is, I never signed any NDA. As far as I was concerned, Reason Studios does temporary betas that anyone can sign up for. They also changed their policy regarding NDA's with developers, I don't know if that has also changed somewhat for the public. Regardless, I haven't broken any rules about anything.

Hopefully we get that zoomed in/full screen look of the rack, as shown in the video.

You know, when you agreed to enter the beta program, you "signed" an NDA that forbids you discussing beta matters.

I do think it is safe to ask whether somebody has gotten access to it or not. Is this not allowed?

To everyone: don't care if you signed an NDA or not. Please keep all beta information, screen shots, and discussions in the RS beta forum that you are granted access to. Thanks.

Understood

I wonder how much stress this HD graphics will impact on our systems. Do will need a powerful graphics card to run this smooth as we do right now ? Or the render will be do by the software ?

Anyone knows ?
Thanks

going from memory here, so take it with a grain of salt...I want to say they’ve said Reason’s UI will run off the GPU, if you have one. I could be mistaken, but I don’t think that’s currently the case.

as for how that will impact performance, it’s hard to say. I tried going back to using Digital Performer last year, and it actually ran worse (both audio and graphics) for me when it was rendering using the graphics card. I hope that won’t be the case with Reason, but I’ll have to wait and see.

Yeah that’s a scary prospect.
The hi res issue has never bothered me so it would be a kind of deal breaker at this point if it proves to be a performance drain. Don’t have the money for a new rig just to run mandatory new hi res in order to access other potential features.
