Hi, someone can help me maybe ? I download the trial version check, trial activation check, sync of the RE check, but, i can't find the Objekt when I open Reason ('im on Reason 11 Suite).

Any help will be appreciated.

I was wondering if you could send stuff from outside of the RRP (eg an audio track in live) but off the top of my head cannot think of any rs device in the rrp that would receive the audio and then be able to patch to the audio in of objekt. It's not a problem as I will just use rs devices for this.
If should be easy to do when using the FX style RRP by simply connecting the audio input to the exciter input of Objekt.
Good idea, thank you

Must admit I got engrossed in learning this type of synthesis last night and forget to test this.

will try this tonight (as well as seeing if I can automate the randomizer)

Have you looked in Reason Devices rather than Built in Devices in the menu?

Objekt is almost unbelievably good.
I was expecting it to have some excellent sounds.
I wasn't ready for how easy it is to change them, or how intuitive it is to do so.
I also wasn't expecting how good it appears to be at making 'regular' sounds. The Dance Organ patch, out of the box, sounds so similar to the original and infamous Korg M1 patch. But then you can tweak it so easily. The exciter section allows transient shaping, which is so important for getting patches like this to sit well in a mix.
Making primarily dance music, I always keep coming back to subtractive synths as the best way to design sounds, but Objekt offers a different lens.
Being based on physical sounds, with an exciter and resonators, it seems to work in a very musical way.
Bravo RS!

Hi, do i really have to answer this ? :lol: Thank you for taking your time to try to help me :-)

On my account the RE is on list noted as a "trial, times out on June 10, 2023, 8:48 p.m.", the sync is done but no trace in Reason 11... Very strange.

Well you never know :thumbup:

Here is a little play around I've had with this, all sounds are from Objekt with the addition of a DR1 reverb on some tracks.
I love that Bass Aqoustic 1 patch!

This RE is wonderful! :clap:

download, do not use sync. sync is broken. does not.work.as before, when. since months.

Okay legit question... The Init/Reset patch default. is it quiet for anyone else? I feel like the first thing im trying to do every time is make this thing louder? Is that one of Ryans Easter Eggs?

4) I think it's time for a new MacBook. I'm on an Intel MacBook Pro (2018 model) which normally just shrugs off anything I throw at it in the Reason DAW... but some of these patches are loading over 30% of CPU in a *single* instance of Objekt when I play a big fat 6-note chord. Gulp. No surprise really... complex modelling is computationally intensive I guess. Good job we now finally have the native M1 build out because I think I'm now that much closer to jumping on the M1/M2 bandwagon.
I am currently away traveling, but when I return, I plan to try out Objekt.

One of the main reasons I'm intrigued by it is because I want to use it as a native alternative to the SWAM modelled saxophone and flute VSTs.

My MacBook is a late 2011 model, so it's getting quite old now. However, it can still handle a considerable number of Europas and an excessive amount of Thors.

Do you think my MacBook will be capable of playing the sax and flute patches on Objekt, or is this new instrument very CPU intensive regardless of the patch being used?

Maybe Matias has got them? I noticed he was wearing an Objekt T-shirt in the Sound on Sound Objekt video;



…….. not sure about the colour. But good to see the Objekt T :thumbs_up:

Have to say that Macro controls that are set to bipolar should snap and reset to middle. Now Bipolar Macro controls resets to 0.

It seems to vary by patch, and I’ve only noticed a big CPU hit when I play really big 6-8 note chords. I assume that some of the patches have a lot going on while others are simpler, and if you then hit multiple voices at once (ie big chords) there is some pretty intense computation involved.

That said, a 12 year old laptop is probably pushing it for a lot of contemporary DAW stock devices and third party plugins. Reason devices have always been super efficient in CPU terms (especially the older devices like Thor) but these newer Reason devices and third party REs seem to demand more. FYI I’m measuring the load for each device using the Options / Show CPU load in the menu (may not be called exactly that but that’s the gist of it).

I guess you can only give it a go but don’t be surprised if a 2011 laptop struggles with a 2023 complex modelling plugin. May be OK, maybe not… can only try!

I admit that while Objekt has a much better interface than Logic Sculpture, I wasn't all that blown away......UNTIL I started messing around with the external in feature. Now that is a game changer in and of itself!

Inspirational to say the least. It has inspired me to paint my keyboard.

Agreed, I was initially skeptical, but Ryan’s demo illustrated how expressive it could be and then I tried the real thing and wow. Acoustic instruments sound incredibly lifelike, and then there’s all the other sounds it can make too.

I didn't think I needed another synth but they got me. :)

I’m using it on an iMac from 2009 and it’s fine. Barely registering on the CPU like pretty much every Reason device and unlike almost every VST!.

Does Objekt have any drum patterns like Octorex?
