And Dimi, I looked at some of your earlier combinators when Kuassa released the new racks, but you also used other Kuassa stuff. Is this still the case? I already have Vermillion and Creme, and at a stretch would pay another 75USD for the new devices, but it's a bit much to expect people to buy every single Kuassa product just to use your combinators.
Hey JJ, this thread is an attempt to bring Reason into the guitarist's world. It's a start, and we're all used to Amplitube, Scuffham, Guitar Rig, etc that work in other DAWs. The huge breakthrough for us has been Kuassa, and since you have Vermilion and Creme, you are travelling the same road as the rest of us. The now stock Softube was a nice addition to the world of tube-sounding computer amps. I also like the hidden Sononics Revival guitar amps. We would love to see some more concerted tender concern for the guitar world from the Props staff, but it seems to have fallen on our own shoulders, now getting a serious boost from Kuassa and Dimi. That's just where we're at fortunately or unfortunately. By the way, not to undercut Kuassa's sales,but many of the tones from Dimi using the new Kuassa effects boxes are achievable using the three stomp boxes built in to Creme (creatively named A, B, and C.). If you would like to save some money, try those. And you can use those three stomp boxes right before Vermilion with a Creme that has everything else turned off. And you can put another instance of Creme right after the Vermilion to add the nice Creme cabinets and mics. Yes it's still a bit clunky, but I think Dimi is moving really fast to bring us all up to speed. I still think Props could add a set of guitar patches based of stock devices like Kuassa is doing for their own stuff, but I'm so happy with Vermilion and Creme and Dimi, I'm not waiting, especially with the new developments in Reason 9 for synths taking up a bunch of their time.
