I am driven by silent thoughts rushing through my head with my projects so ideas pop up all the time. Right now I am doing a massive drum layout patch and it takes forever. It also takes having to break off for a while so meanwhile I might as well update a little here. This drum layout will be very interesting and one of the unique ideas is having a ... secret ... idea ;) But also please don't hesitate to bring up other requests as it might be good stuff. There is so much that can be done and I want it to become a collection not only of fantastic sounds but also solutions to "hmmm can Reason do this" type of ideas. And it always can. Many patches have taken 5 hours to make. Each. So if you are one of those thinking refill makers are cutting gold with a knife, please think again as these projects will always be like maximum work-minimum wage. A normal job even at McDonalds is much much more income bringing. Despite that and despite being completely broke I am driven by the urge to present the coolest things Reason can do in neat packages. It is a work of art and as you know painters are often broke too. Much better to come up with ideas like a gaffa taped banana on a wall. But I am never driven by simple quick and dirty solutions. In other words if you invest in my work you will not be getting anything ordinary.

Looking forward to more stuff!
I'll try to contribute with ideas!

One thing I've thought about for many years, is that it would be convenient to have a full set of instruments for a song, already balanced to fit perfectly with each other.
That could help with an alternative workflow to make the draft song idea quickly without having to spend time searching for sounds and make them fit.

I mean it's part of the fun to search four sounds and reshape then.
But I mean as an alternative workflow to complement that; when you feel you want to just get the song draft quickly done - such a song patch set would be perfect.
And then one could reshape/replace/tweak sounds afterwards if needed, to finalize the draft

Thank you jappe!

Absolutely a good idea and I try it sometimes by going back to old tracks deleting all sequence data and it can be so much better next round.

I will fill up the page R section with more goodies for sure.

And yes in every song I make there are still new patch tweaks so while building the refill in making music I try to save stuff into the refill as well.

Song starter patches by means of reason tracks is a great idea.

And to think about that, it's exactly how many successful producers work, carrying the same bag of sounds to every new track.

I want to build from scratch like you but still it takes sick amounts of time and effort to make a good full pop production.

New version uploaded just an hour ago.

About 300 patches in all, some of them are so advanced they took days to make. The new drum kit in particular but it became like I envisioned it with a seamless reverse to forward playback controller and more.

Thank you. I noticed that some single cycle samples are too short for NNXTs pitch detection so I will have to go back and tune them manually lol. That's one of the areas where I seem to give myself lots of additional work but I love short perfect loops so I can't blame anyone. Fixes are coming. Some other day!

Your last post said everyone has a new link and a new version is up. I received no link.
I purchased this, and now my drop box folder link no longer works??? :thumbs_down:
Anyway, I'm glad you deleted your extremely rude comment that mentioned the new refill, new links, including insults to people paying for a product.
Or... thanks to the moderator who took out the trash. :thumbs_up:
You are making and selling the product. If people make and add patches for your product to include and help with sales >>> That would be a bonus for YOU primarily, and also for others who purchased the refill, or won the competition. It would make it more attractive, but it isn't our job> it is yours.
I have never had a problem using drop box in over 15 years as implied.

As I said your comment was deleted.
You said something about people sharing the link 99 times and hurting your business, and not being able to comprehend drop box among other "things".
Thanks for responding to my email, and thank you for now sending the NEW link, that the comment said was sent to everyone>
(except one competition winner with the wrong email address or something to that effect)> .... and, I "guess" only me?>>> Hopefully.

No nothing has been destroying any business, but the shared Dropbox was messed up and thus Dropbox stopped working for a short period as too much data had been used. Fixed now.

Great... I noticed the folder using a larger chunk of space then it should, and had wondered about that... glad you got it fixed.
This would be the way to announce the issue, the new links and refill > rather than the comment that was deleted > which seemed rather insulting to me. I'm not sure what others thought about it. Anyways.... thank-you. I have liked what I have tested within the refill so far.
Is this the final refill? Or will this new link be the link to use for future updates?

I seem to keep adding things but it is close to being complete now. The link will work for a while.
