Rack Extensions is a unique format to Reason and it still have one thing that VST doesn't: 100% freedom for the developer to create patching options on the back. Now that Reason will support VST, more VST developers will keep an eye on Reason and discover what a unique format Rack Extension is. Bot...

Reveal-Sound will be very happy that Reason supports VST now...

Ok, fair enough. I guess only time will tell in the end. Maybe i'm wrong. Obviously, i already was wrong that Reason will never support VST. I can only explain this move with the new owners though. Don't think PH would have made such bold move, ever.

See, any VST host out there is light years ahead in terms of implementation of VST, and functionality. What made Reason special was the in the box approach, and, especially, the modular capabilities when you turn the rack. Implementing VST robs Reason of all that speciality, and leaves the sequencer...

Why should the user base of Reason increase with VST-support? I doubt anyone would drop Logic, Cubase etc, and get into Reason instead?!? That's what i'm wondering too. Who would leave his VST host for Reason? Reason would have to have something special, and VST's don't work with Reason's routing p...

Did you actually visit the link in the OP?

Reason is to get VST. To what extent and in what form, we unfortunately do not know.

Could be bi-directional ReWire...

Before they implement that, they surely might just implement VST support...

Indeed.

I can't believe it too. But, i guess they woulmd't bring such news, if they hadn't a reliable source. At least they better have one,,,

Nice. The mod matrix is very small and i want to see the Lady's back ;-) The mod matrix isn't small; it's just that all the other controls are still clown-sized like in the original pre-alpha teaser months ago.. I actually prefer the larger controls like it is. I know it feels big in Reason's rack,...

I wonder if they make the fx available for use with other devices in Reason (if that is even possible). The reverb in Spire is one of the nicest, if not the nicest reverb i ever hear in a VSTi.

Didn't even notice, but, you're right.

I'm not sure, and I've not owned one myself. It might be worth demoing Antidote though. I'm not sure how close it is, but I think the name is a reference to the Virus. IMO, not close at all. But then, no soft synth really is. Remember that the Virus is a soft synth too, just one with a hard-wired D...

Hey,

maybe this helps: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/ ... gary-numan

Works on pretty much anything. Gives lots of movement, which is good. Phaser is a really essential effect for me. Use it on static sounds too, without modulating the frequency, works great also for really rough bass sounds.

I think the confusion over this originates from the mixing up of oscillators and voices.

You mean per voice, not per oscillator. Apart from that, Thor has the multi oscillators, which can be 7 (i think) voices simultaneously for one oscillator, plus the other 2 oscillators, so, that's many oscillators per voice. What Thor lacks though is stereo oscillators. The multi oscillators are onl...

Can you say when in May, approximately?

When is "May Madness"? Will there be discounts on Reason, or Reason Essentials too?

Good summary. :) Anyway, it might not have shimmered through, but, of course, everyone is free to use whatever does the job for him/her. E.g. i listened to a nice Trance track yesterday on Youtube, which was 100% made in Reason (by the member riemac here). There really wasn't much wrong with that. I...

I think that's a common misconception (which i read a gazillion times on KVR too, mostly by people who have no idea, no offense). People don't pick the popular stuff, because they want to sound like someone else, but because it is quality for the thing they're doing. I don't think it's a misconcept...

There is a lot of cross-over I believe. The drums especially and the sounds definitely have that quality about them. Still, people need to ask themselves "do I just want to sound like everybody else?". I think that's a common misconception (which i read a gazillion times on KVR too, mostly by peopl...

Using the Vengeance Sample Packs inside Reason's samplers: https://refx.com/samplepacks/ I'd guess that's as close as it gets. At least closer than generally recommending refills and soundfills. If Nexus would only be a bog-standard rompler, then that might be correct (still it won't have the same ...
