Nice. D'you have a link to these?
Not yet. I'm still trying to figure out the control assignments via the Combinator. Still trying to wrap my brain around Sterioevo's Combinators to see is that is a possible solution: although so far it doesn't seem to be reasonable given the Combinator includes 8 Kong FX devices.

I want this so bad!
Hi James, unfortunately I can't complete the Combinator until Reason includes controls to every parameter on every Kong FX device. Is this something you think will happen in the future?
That's really more of a Mattias question. I'll see if I can pull him for a chat, but I'm not sure off the top of my head if there are any limitations or if we've just not done it.

Anyways, the device conceptually looks amazing! Kudos.

Thanks for the kind words. It is not the most elegant solution.

I came up with a relatively simple alternative to crossfade between settings using Groovy Melon Morfin XF. Might be a basis for a workable solution. The basic premise is that you have different settings (for the parameters you cannot control without the mouse) on the 2 instances of Kong and crossfade between the 2. Seems to sound ok. You can swap out fx types to try variations. Parameters like Q on the parametric EQ will not be realistic as a fade, some of the other effects like transient shaper and resonator seem to work quite well.

I have attached a Combinator 1 as I do not currently have access to Reason 12.

Thanks, Sterioevo! I appreciate the simplified alternative. It's a shame we don't have direct access to all Kong FX controls directly. I will check out your method, but hopefully James is able to get this in front Mattias for a proper update to Kong in the next release.

Wonder if parameter exposition is getting looked at. This combi would've been an awesome tool.

You could also use multiple kongs to control fx routings
