Re: AIR Xpand!2 for $1USD

I believe AIR used to be the exclusive effects and instruments for ProTools before they started to produce them in VST/AU formats today. They are solid products with good sounds and efficient GUI's. Loom is another one of my favorites from the collection, and actually their sampler Structure has be...

Re: AIR Xpand!2 for $1USD

I picked up when it was on sale for $1.00 a few months back. It is a very nice rompler with some actually pretty decent sounds. I don't use it often but there are some patches I have been using quite a bit. The nice thing about it is that it qualifies you for the full AIEP upgrade at around $80.00....

AIR Xpand!2 for $1USD

I generally do not make posts like this as it feels like advertisement but I had a notification from AudioDeluxe that they are offering AIR's Xpand!2 for $1 (normally $99). I watched a couple demos of the product and truthfully based off of what I have seen a dollar can't be beat for a VST plugin li...

Re: Reason 8 - Midi Out with standalone synths?

Good to see you here Jon. I made this short video during the Reason 8 era to demonstrate the process on Windows. It is a step by step and highlights a few of the programs I use to make it happen. There are other concepts to consider that there are other "host" programs that allow you to just open a ...

Re: Casio CZ style Phase Distortion

Well.... in my opinion I find that Thor's Phase Distortion does a pretty darned good gob of sounding like the CZ PD. Of course the programming model of the CZ is quite different than the more traditional analog programming techniques of Thor so you have to work within that box. For the more rare tim...

Re: Freestyle VST host -feature suggestion

Reason needs to be able to be a master in the Rewire, not just a slave. Solve all the vst solutions wouldn't it. Propellerhead invented it, they should host it. I suppose the argument to counter that would be that if they did what would be the incentive for developers to include it in their DAW? I ...

Re: M-Audio Oxygen 61 question

Isn't there a tool to create your own mappings for M-Audio devices? If I recall there was one when I owned one. As it was said earlier Preset 10 is what the remote maps defaults its values to. These have corresponding MIDI CC values by default right? Each preset of course has different assigned valu...

Re: Remote map for M-Audio Axiom Air Mini 32

I'll assume you are modifying a "Other - MIDI Control Surface" template and mapping to corresponding MIDI CC values provided from the Axiom. If so then I would find out which CC assignments are to those buttons and then use a programmer's text editor that recognized white spaces (TABS) and edit thos...

Re: Nostromo Synth is landing soon (added video)

I love Nostromo. It is a well laid out synth and find it easy to navigate like Subtractor and Thor. The multitude of waveforms pretty much offer the more familiar tones of typical subtractive synthesis, FM, granular waveforms, chip tones and variations on many natural instruments such as saxophone, ...

I don't believe the current SDK supports it but will it in a future incarnation? Anyone's guess. My gut feeling is that it might as it gives greater opportunity for products and more sales. Time will tell.

To take this one step further, as custom displays have automatable targets for values that are determined by the developer these can be controlled by remote technology as well. You can have your controller mapped to some of them. You may not be able to directly assign them by right clicking on the c...

One possible reason could be the need for 32 bit support on an older machine.
But doesn't Reason 7 have 32-bit mode?
I'm thinking the latest patch of 7 doesn't.... but 7.0 may. I am more forgetful as I get older.
