The hi-res device previews are looking great! I'm pleasantly surprised that they still look like themselves. Indeed, that's always an interesting balance! We thought it was important that they still felt like "real devices", you just finally saw a mint condition version up close in good lighting ;)...

How would one know which of the sounds are from v1 and not from subsequent versions? Or the patches? Sounds super inconvenient. You couldn't even play individual Dr rex slices? Lol I'm out. I think you could play the individual slices in the original, but I'd appreciate more clarification from Ryan...

So let's get a followup! Did you get those sons of batch off your lawn successfully!?

It really excels at weird unconventional sounds. Lately I've found Nostromo to be my go to synth for that purpose though.

Here's a great review/article on Friktion over at CDM: https://cdm.link/2020/08/reason-friktion-review-physical-modeling-string-instrument/ Lot's of the old Motown records were scored with something like 4-man string sections, though different type of strings, so you would have to set up 4 of them ...

All we need is VST3 support in Renoise and we can have the Rack inside! Looking forward to that for sure.

I wonder how this will stack up against Arturia's OBX-a emulation?

I was looking forward to buying Torsion as well but I can only use the $50 code. Can I just say, I was in the same position - a $50 reward code, and I wanted to buy Torsion. So I did, which means it cost me only 19 extra bucks Do it now. Torsion is fucking insane I probably will. Now that I've acti...

The rewards store is far too limited. I have $75 of rewards points that I've activated, but they're in two separate codes of $50 and $25 and I can't use both of them for a purchase. I was looking forward to buying Torsion as well but I can only use the $50 code. Kinda lame they don't allow you to us...

Thankyou for reminding me about that EDS06s I've owned for a few years and basically never use. It's a great little drum synthesizer, gonna make more of an effort to screw with it in future work.

I'd upgrade to R11 and leave it at that. This let's you take all the stuff you bought with you. If you sell it you're basically burning all the money you already spent on REs.

Have you even read what you wrote? You want RS to implement a feature that lets you to write a whole song in Reason and then transfer it to other DAW? For what? Might as well finish it in Reason, then... Interoperability. One producer might have a sketch of a song in Reason and want to send it to a...

I thought it was ok, but I had more luck firing up a Redrum and randomizing the pattern till I heard something worth fine tuning. The solution has been there since the beginning!

Thanks Skrock!

Windows 10 no longer supported also. Dig out those old floppies cause we're going back to Windows 95 baby!!!

Yeah it was a bit of a wakeup call for me to authorize for offline. Knowing that there's recourse with Reason Studios I can probably risk the rare chance of hard drive failures. If on the off chance it happens I'll probably purchase a USB dongle.

Looks like it's back up and running. First thing I did was authorize for offline use.

Yep, I was worried about computer failures but it's looking like the chances of server disruption are much higher. I got into the authorization page as well, but Authorizer can't access the licensing server. Looks like we're screwed til they get it back up.

Authorizing for offline use as soon as they come back up. This is ridiculous.

My reasoning was along the lines that if my computer died beyond repair and I couldn't access my license then I'd be screwed. I know RS has a couple "get out of jail free cards" but I wanted to avoid that potential hassle.

Didn't see your post - am having the same issue here! Ah, a fellow Canadian. Maybe it's just a geographical thing for us Canucks. I've had this in the back of my mind ever since this COVID epidemic started that it may be a good idea to authorize offline if things start going sideways. As soon as th...

I've noticed that Reason Studios seems to be down more frequently, and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this? Probably just gonna authorize my computer so I don't have to rely on them.

I agree with the others here. You already have everything you need if you have Europa or even Thor.

MP3 should've happened like four versions ago. Nonetheless it is welcome.

Trackers have been a popular talking point lately, as Polyend is going to soon be releasing their hardware tracker. I'm hoping Renoise can get VST3 ready so that I can run the the Rack and program music the way I used to! If anyone wants to run tracker software in Reason then the Renoise team's Redu...
