Mimic: New Creative Sampler

[Creativemind]

If you click on the slices you lock them in place and then they don't dissapear after you adjust the sensitivity. I find this quite useful.

Thanks so much for this. I had another go at it using this method... and it's golden. Usually I'm a RTFM kind of guy, but I can't find a Mimic manual online anywhere at this point. Anyone know if there is one yet out?

I don't know, only guessing but probably isn't out yet and will be out when Reason 12 is released and it will be (due to it being a stock device) included in the Reason 12 operation manual.

I think that's probably correct and it does raise the question of whether people who get early access to a feature should also be provided with a draft of the relevant section of the manual too.

That crossed my mind too. Maybe just an online only version till the official release. Some people may like to read the manual before touching a device at all as to not spend ages wondering why this and that isn't working perhaps like I did yesterday (and wanted look it up) why I couldn't get the flag to snap to transient.

Flip the rack to read a few tips/shortcuts, including this one

That's what happens when you don't pay attention to the video which explains it and also mentions the back tips

That is a really good idea!

This reminds me of the design critique I did on Europa a few years ago.

Perhaps I'm being really dim, but I can't seem to find a way of automating the switching between active slots.

If you've got several variants of a sample in each slot, and you want to hop between them in mid performance, then obviously you can do so by clicking the individual slot. However, this slot-hopping doesn't seem to be recorded in the sequencer. I've also tried assigning slot selection to a button/rotary pot in Combinator, but there doesn't seem to be any means of doing that either.

I'm certain this is just a typical 'Gardinski Brain Freeze' moment on a sunny afternoon, but it does seem a bit weird.

That's what I was thinking as well..

Ah yes I had forgotten to look there. Thanks for the reminder.

So very true.

No I think this is the finished product, for now anyway. Maybe they might add those things in a 12 point update. That seems slim though as well. I hope so though. I hope we aren't still talking about this a year down the line

They never change or add anything to any device ever.

They can be flipped through by key switching only.

That's not totally so, as RV7000 mk2 and Octorex were updated back then.

Europa got wavetable import, 14:2 Mixer got a sonic improvement (and a compatibility switch)

Parsec got bumped a version as well

Also didn't something happen with subtractor, way way back in time?

[Heigen5]

Yup yup... So we have some hope to get more of them.

If there's one thing RS loves it's when we hope just don't hold your breath

I actually stopped hoping for more stuff long time ago, I still request them, but I have an attitude to use what I already have.

That's about where I am at to, not even thinking about the upgrade this time around

Cheers Ravasb. It certainly looks that way. Ah, what a shame. Seems like a bit of an oversight. I guess the only way to switch samples 'live' will be to have multiple Mimics stacked in a combinator. That will work, but it seems like a cumbersome way to do it.

Alternatively, of course, I could just map each sample to a different octave on the keyboard. Still messy and limiting, when it could be so much simper.

Interested to know what that was.

I fixed your SubTractor error too.

This looks like an interesting way to use Mimic and Lectric Panda's Evolution together:
