Subtractor for iOS (iPad)

Since it doesn't seem like Reason has plans to make an iOS version of the Reason DAW (and honestly that's fine because there's already a ton of options and mobile music is definitely a different beast), I still would love to see some more of the Reason instruments made available for the iPad. In particular, the Subtractor would be a great instrument to make available, including AUV3 so that I can load it into AUM or Cubasis. I'm sure I speak for many when saying I'd easily pay $10 for that device alone.

Subtractor to this day is a pretty genius and one of a kind synthesizer.
Of course, there are newer types of synthesis appearing, but honestly, they aren't much of invention, rather refinement. They look different and fancy, but the capabilities don't sound that much revolutional.
Start sampling what you generate with subtractor, start layering, and the possibilities become endless.
That said, I always look for new tech, but Subtractor is the salami and cheese synth. : ) (More than bread and butter.)
But that's just my current opinion. And since 2007... : D
I also like granular pitch modulation, but that's sampling category, and off topic. But subtractor can synthesize the sound for further processing.
IMO, with a step sequencer, it can easily go for Android, too. Or could.

I still have ReasonCompact on my iPhone, which hosts one limited instance of Europa, Monitone and Rytmik. But it can only create up to 8 bars, very similar to Groovebox - but can then export to Reason, of course.
Im not using it anymore as the 8 bars for me is too limited, and I think ReasonStudios have said that they‘re not going to continue developing it anymore.

Subtractor is a great synth for learning synthezis too.

Yes. it is probably one of the best GUIs for pure no nonsense subtractive synthesis still to this day.
While it's emulation standards are old, it feels much more like a analog synth than newer stuff with built-in effects and such as it forces you to focus on sound design more. As most modern stuff tends to be alot more busier and complicated in the GUI department.

That low price thing is probably why they have run away from iOS. You just can't charge sensible prices for stuff on mobile devices, and that's before the regular sales that everyone expects.Musicbyproseed wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024I'm sure I speak for many when saying I'd easily pay $10 for that device alone.
