I love Nostromo. It is a well laid out synth and find it easy to navigate like Subtractor and Thor. This is such an underrated thing. There are a lot of third-party REs that, while certainly serviceable in UI terms, are a far cry from the design quality of the Propellerhead devices. A good device p...

You can download a refill with 700k presents, but many of them are bland as hell and desperately need FX slapped on them. That is the case for most all PX7 presets that I have heard, because PX7 doesn't have any onboard FX. But if you slap a nice reverb on the end of a dull preset, it magically bec...

Nice render! I wonder if that big thing at the bottom is a partials/waveform display.

I have spent exactly $129 on REs. Since I skipped Reason 8, getting Predator and PX7 on sale were basically my Reason 8 upgrade.

:cry: So my brilliant idea was to wait until midnight east coast time to make sure i was happy with my decison on which RE's i was gonna go for. Now sales appear to be over in the shop. Just great.... missed out on polymodular decimort and px7. My fault. I am beyond bummed out. If you were looking ...

Oof, all these new IDT romplers are really not the best fit with SSDs. I'd love to give StringWerk a try, but I'm starting to think I should just hold off on new sample-based instruments until I have a bigger primary drive. One good thing about Refills (or Kontakt libraries, for that matter) is that...

It occurred to me that this should theoretically be possible. Anyone know if the Players can be wired together in this way?

As the new amps are bypassed I guess you will have to set them up to your own liking. (Of course this means all patches that include any Line6 amps will sound different. Anyone know if what is now known as the "Legacy FSB" has hand-tuned Softube replacement patches (basically re-patched by someone ...

But I think a new sampler would have been a bigger hit but I guess if and when they make one it won't be free. This would be a pretty odd move, because selling the sampler separately from Reason itself would put a massive dent in the potential ReFill market. I feel you but a new well built sampler ...

I was curious to see if anyone would mention kilohearts One which is half price right now. Does Anyone have it and can comment? I don't have it, but I was considering it. My sense is that consensus says it's a synth that doesn't add much new, but sounds really good. So probably a matter of personal...

Despite a minor obsession with shiny new stuff, I've somehow managed to suppress my Gear Acquisition Syndrome for Rack Extensions and the only major RE I have is Predator, which I really like. I probably don't need anything new right now... but there's nothing like a sale to convince me otherwise. :...

Uh oh, May madness just dropped and I'm definitely seeing $129 of sale REs that I want...

At least Reason 9 won't be out for a month.

Undecided, but leaning toward yes. There isn't one standout feature that's making it a must-buy for me, but cumulatively 8 and 9 together (upgrading from 7) are looking like enough improvements to justify the purchase. That said... Reason upgrades are competing with the RE shop these days. When I de...

There's never gonna be vst in Reason. They could do with getting the full isotope o-zone suite in the shop though and Sylenth, Massive and Nexus in the shop and for me the Korg M1. Sure there's never gonna be VST in Reason, but don't kid yourself, there's never gonna be Ozone, Sylenth, Massive, or ...

So, I think we should forget that R9 thing for now, maybe later this year... but whats with another Sale :lol: They just had one...It was $299 for the month of March for. Same sale they have run before previous versions being announced Yes, the sale was in keeping with what they did on the last upg...

The OP is definitely correct. Reason has, if I've done the maths correctly, a theoretical maximum Music Greatness Points throughput of 2380, and from the Music Greatness benchmark tests I've seen, even the best songs (by some famous artists that are known Reason users) top out at around 1750-1800. T...

Monday morning, Sweden time, is going to be the moment of truth. If Synthtopia broke an embargo, it can't have been more than a weekend away from the embargo date. Long embargoes are for product reviews: You need to give the press long enough to get familiar with the software and write/edit a review...

Fake or not fake, an update like that would make absolutely sense ... all these midi and audio to midi based functions and audio pitch editing, supporting the app world, esp. Take or Figure and obviously Allihoopa . You could make a whole song out of a single voice loop... even without a keyboard. ...

Lest we get too carried away with what people have to say over at KVR (or here)... Remember that for every person who goes to the trouble of finding, reading, registering for, and posting on forums, there are hundreds if not thousands of others who aren't posting, and probably don't even know the fo...

I personally would like to work in one DAW but as time goes by Reason makes that more and more not a possibility. I'm just looking to see if whether or not the cord needs to be cut and I move on altogether making Reason more of a plugin. I know the feeling. I've always liked Reason's hands-on, manu...

maybe tomorrow : http://imsta.org/imsta_festa_2016_LA.php Maybe... But an industry trade group meeting seems like a really odd place to announce new software. It would be a bit like Apple announcing a new iPad at the Consumer Technology Association annual meeting. My guess is Monday. Although I rea...

I thinks all this is a fake, read this post in the last paragraph: http://www.idesignsound.com/reason-9-what-we-know-so-far/ UPDATE: I’ve contacted one of the Rack Extension developers and he told that no announcement has been made for developers so far and there are no updates in developers forum ...

I was really thinking that we were going to see the official announcement around 9 AM Stockholm time, but it's well into the afternoon now. How far in advance could Synthtopia's press embargo have been?

It only loaded on the second try for me, but I took a screenshot in case it goes down again. Although if this really is an embargo mistake, it was probably only 8 hours or so early. It'll be 9 AM in Stockholm in just a few hours. The features do indeed seem believable. Nothing crazy like a new synth...

It is clearly the opinion of the user as to what is the better option and it isn't split down the middle 50/50 either. It arguable these days that the more flat and cleaner look is better than the the older approach of realistic looking devices that have tangibility to them. This is of course opini...
