Re: Announcing Reason 13

Also, where's the mod matrix? They've attached it to all of their instruments since Thor, but now they decide to throw it away? The morph feature interpolates parameters between the two engines. In this context, the dedicated modulation knobs make a lot of sense. They let you easily see how one eng...

Re: Announcing Reason 13

That favorites option for devices is gone, it won't come back The workaround I can imagine from the public information is to save a patch from each of your devices (the init patch perhaps?) and then add those patches to a "favorite list" of each device type. You can see the Favorite Lists on the le...

Re: Controlling parameters with midi cc and remote.

You already have a combinator, I'd route a combi button to the whole lot of parameters and use remote to route one of the buttons of the oxigen to the combinator knob. To my knowledge, Remote doesn't allow you to route one device to multiple controls or vice versal. This is better achieved with a C...

Re: Announcing Reason 13

Please get rid of having to hold CMD or CTRL when double-clicking on a parameter or knob, etc., to set it back to it's default value. Fyi you don't need to double click currently. It's a single click with a modifier. I'd be fine with supporting double click as an alternative, but I think both metho...

Re: Announcing Reason 13

Reason 12 upgrades are currently selling for $199 with the promise of 13 for free.
So intro pricing seems unlikely unless it's exclusive to current owners of Reason 12.

Re: Logic Pro for$200 or should I upgrade to Reason 13?

I like both Logic and Reason, but it's silly to pretend Logic doesn't have its own longstanding issues that remain unaddressed.

Re: Lock a control when switching presets

Bumping this to point out it would let you lock one engine in Polytone while browsing presets for the other one ;). Some kind of multi-select or table view for this feature would make that easier.

Locking effects sections and wet/dry are still something I’d use daily.

You're accusing them of incompetence when they've been designing music software for years. Doing something for many years doesn't mean you never make mistakes. Been there, done that.

Re: Logic Pro for$200 or should I upgrade to Reason 13?

Logic has a 90 day trial available, so I’d recommend taking advantage of that. It’s excellent software but has its quirks just like Reason. Reason 13 will also be released before the 90 day trial is up, so you can judge the user reception at that point.

It has full keyboard control, which I've wanted for years. I'd say that's something.
That said, I agree tags and device categories should be editable.

Re: Using RE plugins in another DAW is amazing, also a question re latency

The question part is that I still need to work out is if the Reason rack is reporting latency to the external plugin - the only latent plugins I have used are Neptune and Tapefunk, but by design, those don't report their latency to the Reason mixer, therefore are not relevant in this discussion.

A proper tagging system lets you assign multiple tags, so they're not mutually exclusive boxes.

I think you could use Ableton Link if you had two Reason licenses and two computers (or a VM might work). Obviously not ideal.

Re: Audio Editor

I suspect you're asking about the sample editor and noticing that the Samples tab was removed from the Tool Window.
From Reason 8 onward, it was moved to "Song Samples" in the left side of the browser.
