Re: What is the best Reason synth or RE to create PPG Wave 2 type sounds

Well, there's even a debate regarding PPG descendants (Waldorf synths) which undoubtedly have the same wavetables, but don't sound like the "original". :lol: Question is: how close you wanna get? Most tips and suggestions given here are valid. E.g. you can easily recreate the gnarly ooh voice from D...

It's a free stock sampler and is better than most stock samplers and kills Studio One's sampler.
As a self confessed fan of Studio One I must admit: That‘s an easy task. Studio One‘s Sampler definitely needs some love. Most competitors now have more intuitive and useful options.

They never change or add anything to any device ever.
That's not totally so, as RV7000 mk2 and Octorex were updated back then.
Europa got wavetable import, 14:2 Mixer got a sonic improvement (and a compatibility switch)

after a few hours it becomes better, but if you close reason and open it up again later your back at zero and need to work for a few hours before it's not a problem, then all over the day after that

Probably overkill but I would give it a try via Players (CV to Player and back to CV) with

I agree that from the looks of it is seems to be more in line with Serato Sampler or Ableton Simpler than to be an updated NN-XT which could rival Kontakt. Which seems to be the smart decision as the market for fat and advanced sample libraries (romplers) has been saturated imho with Kontakt, Elast...

If it is just about the „Pultec Trick“ without sophisticated RE features inside Reason, then the free Ignite Amps PTeq-X VST does an excellent job on this.

Re: Bypass key switches when using player devices

You could do the filtering with another player, e.g.:

where you can set a filter range for notes.

There are other players out there which do similar tasks, but UTL Modifier is free. :-)

Re: Recreating Propellerhead (Reason Studios) ReBirth RB-338 with Reason Racks

RS could recreate it if it was sure to bring profits. They are closer to making it than other RE devs, they can reuse their own source code. Though, any RE dev could do that, it's not that complicated, rather a bunch of tedious work. They probably won't. Wasn't the iPad app removed from the store b...

a lot of included presets use the combinator, and not doing something about it objectively reduces the overall value of future REs. easy to be dismissive of other people's concerns when you're busy salivating over the new toy you'll be getting, I guess.
