Reason Rack plugin lackluster MIDI features
The time from alpha to release varies enormously depending on the feature(s) and what the release is supposed to be. I wouldn't say MIDI Out is "at least half a year away". And yes, we'd aim for having VST3 and AU ready at the same time. In fact, the alpha prototype works in both.stratatonic wrote: ↑13 Dec 2019Hi Mattias. I haven't tried out the R11 demo yet , but would I be correct in assuming that "alpha" is a very early stage thing, and means you're still at least a half year away from releasing this?
Also, when you do release, would VST and AU MIDI Out happen at the same time?
AND...clarification on the quote below...I thought copy pattern for REX was already possible with the plugin? Looks like I'm misinformed. Would the MIDI Out allow that kind of thing? Thanks.
Copy pattern to track is not possible in the plugin right now and the MIDI Out alpha we showed on twitter/instagram doesn't change that. But it is something we're considering adding too.

Please, add VST MIDI OUT into Reason standalone.

You want the Reason Rack Plugin to be able to host VST's as well? Comon man that's a bit silly.Ad0 wrote: ↑11 Dec 2019Since VST support was launched, VSTs are a part of my chains and combinators. All these are useless in the rack plugin. Also #1 or #2 reason why I don't upgrade.Boombastix wrote: ↑10 Dec 2019Well, they still talk about opening ANY Combinator in the Rack Plugin, that is simply not true. You cannot open up Combinators you made with VSTs inside. It is a false claim, but I sure hope they will fix it. The No 1 reason I haven't updated to R11.
Again, tons and tons of plugins already host plugins. I suspect they have an architectural problem. Also - REs are plugins.
If they are afraid of "plugin inception" of their own rack plugin, there are a million ways to detect this in code. Or even easier: Allow it, but don't officially support it.
If you create combinator patches with VST's inside Reason the DAW, well that's a bit different isn't it.
If i would use a different DAW than Reason, i would like to have my VSTs in the Reason rack too. Just think of a bit more complex patches with FX or layering with Reason synths and VSTi...Jmax wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019You want the Reason Rack Plugin to be able to host VST's as well?

appears they are working on it... but who really knows if it will actually happenJackjackdaw wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019Does that mean there will be a dedicated midi out device other than EMI ? Because otherwise what would the players attach to?

So you want the rack plugin to be able to act as a send device for multiple devices?outdatedstandard wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019Please add multi-audio-in for the organization of a plug-in with multiple send-effects.
It’s inconvenient and strange to use a separate rack for each effect when sent.

If I may: instead of loading x instances of RRP, one would suffice - if it had a patch bay on top which could receive several signals from the host DAW at the same time.PhillipOrdonez wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019So you want the rack plugin to be able to act as a send device for multiple devices?outdatedstandard wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019Please add multi-audio-in for the organization of a plug-in with multiple send-effects.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I haven't made up my mind about the benefits of that. I happen to like having control over my sends, having large racks would not be very efficient and would involve too much scrolling for every change. I rather use several instances, methinks. But sure, could be good to have, I guess.diminished wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019If I may: instead of loading x instances of RRP, one would suffice - if it had a patch bay on top which could receive several signals from the host DAW at the same time.PhillipOrdonez wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019

You could use a copy of one signal in the chain of another for whatever purposes - there are literally endless creative possibilitiesPhillipOrdonez wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019Yeah, that's what I thought.

I just saw a video where a dude stated AutoTheory 5 was a Chords and Scales killer. I commented how can this be with NO MIDI ROUTING in Reason?? Even with this feature I don't see it, especially with no Note to Track feature. I add this to say that w/o midi routing VSTs like AutoTheory 5 are useless if you want to use it with Reason Instruments and REs.
Just another of many reasons why I stopped using Reason as a DAW for Studio One. Thank god for the Rack Plug in tho.

The newest version of AutoTheory doesn't require MIDI routing. You launch/control VSTs from within the AutoTheory VST. Kinda like how people are wanting to use VSTs inside the Reason Rack VST.ColdSkoolBeatz wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019I just saw a video where a dude stated AutoTheory 5 was a Chords and Scales killer.

edit: or maybe I misunderstood what you're saying. True, I don't think it can be used with Reason's instruments or REs.

... and if it had a MIDI patchbay in addition,- for multiple MIDI-In and Out.diminished wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019
... instead of loading x instances of RRP, one would suffice - if it had a patch bay on top which could receive several signals from the host DAW at the same time.
One RRP alone would suffice for multiple RSN instrument devices too then.
It is what I already mentioned before,- the "Advanced MIDI" interface from standalone RSN 3 - 11 is already such patchbay. It exists.
Implement (a) MIDI port(s) into the rack-shell ,- I´d be happy w/ a single port and 16 channels already !
NI´s Kontakt MULTI is exactly that,- a rack/container hosting 16 "instruments" on 16 MIDI channels.
In fact the rack needs a audio- AND MIDI patchbay,- and a Combinator update adding MIDI channel selection on Combinator front panel.
MIDI channel selection also for all the other RSN instruments and for operation outside of a Combinator but inside the RRP.
The RSN devices should deal w/ embedded "MIDI-banks" where presets can be stored and be recalled by program change numbers,- 1 MIDI bank/128 memories,- and even the RRP is a VST3.
NI, Uhe, Arturia,- they all offer such MIDI program change banks for their 64bit plugins and even VST3 ditched MIDI program changes !
This is what a rack normally does.
You fill it w/ gear and use it as an FX-rack, tonegenerator module rack or a combo of both, then you have your send/return lines and MIDI to switch presets and transmit notes and controllers.

Hey Mattias, thanks for chiming in again to update - I appreciate it.
I'd like to demo R11 Plugin now (well, likely after Christmas), but I'd like to see how midi out and the copy pattern to track would work for me as well, so it looks like I can't be demoing for some time then - maybe closer to the end of 2020, maybe?
Btw, are the Reason Plugin demo and Reason 11 standalone demo two separate trials? Or demoing both applications in one shot?
He said considering for pattern to track. You might be starting your demo in 2028stratatonic wrote: ↑16 Dec 2019Hey Mattias, thanks for chiming in again to update - I appreciate it.

Rack comes with reason installation so it's the same demo.
I bought reason 11 because I’ve used it for years and I am hoping don’t have to get rid of it when I get my new Mac Pro. Please Matthias, keep us posted.MattiasHG wrote: ↑14 Dec 2019The time from alpha to release varies enormously depending on the feature(s) and what the release is supposed to be.

Precisely, for the rack to be 100% viable as a VST it NEEDS, midi out and hosting of VSTs. Then combinators can be shared between Reason DAW and Reason Rack.

I'm holding off upgrading until I see Midi out and VST hosting. Sticking to the old rule of paying for what exists not what I hope they will introduce.
