RRP is not Reason !

This forum is for discussing the Reason Rack Plugin, the version of the Reason rack that runs as a VST3, AU, AAX in other DAWs.

I’ve used Reason from v1 to v6.5 then Live & plug-ins.
I was hoping RRP&HD would be the best set so I’ve bought v12.

What a deception : RRP is far from being Reason !

Remote & automation is barely & badly implemented : parameter names are unusable (too long, too cryptic).
The rack is reduced to « instrument strip » or « channel strip » and not your « all studio ». I know multitimbrality would be limited but 16 channels are better than 1
1 column rack enforced the « strip » view. 2 column rack would at least allow for some kind of « overall view »

In its current state, RRP is worst than any single vst because of the « rack shell » which I can’t see any added value. Europa VST was in practice a better product than RRP.

Reason devices (especially synths) are far more accessible than a lot of VSTs but this ease of use just vanishes inside the RRP.

I hope RS will adress those points. I can’t see myself going back to Reason stand-alone (you all know why : sequencer !) but I can’t see myself buying in Reason ecosystem (there are great RE that I hope will be released as VST !)

RRP isn't supposed to be Reason standalone - at it's simplest it's a way to access the Reason devices inside another DAW via (vst | au | aax) Plugins

But by providing the Rack it also allows for more complex devices and or effects to be created using rack extensions.
Freedom of expression does not exist in this dojo ;)
Reason 1 -- 11 suite, now I'm enjoying Live 11 suite

An illustration of what I mean concerning automation / remote parameter names can seen here
