Re: I much prefer Reason to Ableton, but I really wish Reason did MIDI loop recording better
I did do a little prototype web app, to work with reason and added a few tools like setting song markers and loop markers. It would be possible to add the midi loop recording hack and possibly retrospective midi recording. However, these features should be built into reason instead of having to use ...

Re: Keep Reason Midi Input Open When Window in Background
Hi, I don't know specifically about the software synthesia but if your midi keyboard is conected to synthesia and this is output to Reason via loop midi, it should work. However, if your MIDI keyboard is also active in Reason, this may be confusing things. Check only your loopmidi is active in reaso...

Re: Device remote annoying thing...
As I understand it, Remote via codec and the sequencer uses either the current track in focus or is locked to a single device for each enabled controller. The blue indicators in the rack are for Remote over ride, which over rides the above by assigning a single MIDI control to a single Remote item o...

Re: Announcing Reason 13
Reason has a lot going for it, as to my knowledge, I don't know of another DAW that can open and play a v1 file in v12. You can open Ableton v1 sets with v12 But ProTools is another story 😅 Anyway I just hope they give RRP some love in 13 Didn't know live had any backwards compatibility, good to kn...

Re: Announcing Reason 13
It's interesting to follow this thread and everyone has their own wishes but ultimately reason studios are a business looking to make money.

Re: I much prefer Reason to Ableton, but I really wish Reason did MIDI loop recording better
I prefer reason to ableton but now as live 12 has screen reader support and reason 12 doesn't with no signs of any screen reader support in reason 13, looks like I'll be using live 12 more than reason.

Re: Remote Script "unknown" error with delivering MIDI?
I've had this error before too and in my experience it is normally to do with variable values either being nil or over 127 or sometimes failing to add the F7 at the end of a sysex or the sysex message being over 1024 bytes. Try adding in conditions to check for nil values for example if you are work...

Re: I need some help with Reason Remote
Yes, you are totally right, there is no direct relation from sequencer tracks to main mixer channels. There are remote items that can bank through the main mixer channels but to keep a running total of main mixer channels you will need to use lua code to check and store the total which will need upd...

Re: Announcing Reason 13
There's no accessibility improvements, so I guess Ableton will be winning the market share here. Perhaps 14 will see some improvements for screen reader support? In the mean time I can try and get something out using Remote and web UI. I have been working on different prototypes, see on youtube @joh...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)
Screen reader support, NI, Arturia, Ableton and others have all worked on this but Reason 12 has less screen reader support than older versions. It's commercially sound, just look at the success of others who have done it.

Hi, I've been working on various ideas to improve Reason's accessibility through Remote and a web UI to provide speech feedback. I'd be interested to learn if there are any Reason users on here that would benefit from such a project. You can see some videos on these projects on my youtube channel @j...

As a blind Reason user, who's limited sight has got worse as Reason's screen reader support has also got worse, alturnative options have to be looked at.

I first asked about screen reader support before reason 12 then again after its release. As reason 12 has less screen reader support than previous versions. Although I'm working on a speech web ui to work with reason remote, this is limited as there is no remote control over midi, pitch or rex editi...

Re: Looper RE
If RS extended the Remote to cover block selection you could then have 32 loops of multi-track content all via your midi controller. It is kind of already possible with lua codecs, I believe the nektar P4 does something with loops. There's also the rack extension jammer loops trigger module by retou...

Re: What are your deepest dreams/visions about Reason?
For me it is improved accessibility, add top-menu rooting option, extend remote to cover everything from the browser, tool window, sequencer and sequencer toolbar, blocks etc. If blocks were in the remote scope, you could switch blocks via a midi controller much like ableton session view and if patt...

Re: Low-vision accessibility issues in Reason UIs
Yes, accessibility should be an important part of any UI design! Personally my limited sight means almost any text is difficult to read regardless of contrast and size and due to almost no screen reader support, usability of Reason has got worse in V12. This is why I have been pushing for things lik...

Re: Switch Blocks by MIDI Controller
As rmtcvolte says, the codec needs to match the midi hardware and the remote items in document scope to set the r/l loop position will not work well with a standard 0-127 pot/fader but instead work best with delta endless encoder or in some cases buttons. However, the code concept is to have the mid...

Re: Switch Blocks by MIDI Controller
After following this thread, it seems the nektar doesn't switch the reason 32 blocks in block mode but instead set/store/recall multiple loop l/r markers and moves to the left marker. This can be done with lua codec by using lua variables to store l/r loop presets and the document scope. Therefore, ...

Would it be possible to add a fade-in / level / fade-out / cross-fade interface to individual note clips, similar to the audio clips?
