Koshdukai's Music(al) Reason(ing)

  Looks like using a mouse on top of my master MIDI controller isn't enough now to quickly add Devices to the Rack :( Apparently, now I also need the QWERTY keyboard near my controller just to add my preferred Rack Devices... " faster " :(   Looks like my previous doubts are now unfortunately confirmed: Am I now forced to scroll through the Device Palette to reach a device "deep" in the list instead of my regular 2 click (on the Favorite and then on the Device)? Are Devices also tagged like the patch/sample files shown in the video? Do I need to text search for every device that's more than 2 pages away from a double-click or click'n'drag ? Where's the Device Favorites ? References: "Reason 10 Live Stream: Europa Shapeshifting Synthesizer" clip Reason 10.0 ...ok! :)  September 30, 2017 and I'm not alone

Simple(r) GUI, no screen wasting extra pixel padding around the essentials, with every section at a distance of 1 click (top bar) "pancake" style main menu when at the minimum width of the rack (which I'll keep in these mock-up examples) With modular sections, layout customization and all (browser included) detachable as separate windows (to keep it simple, these mock-ups will show them all still attached) So the Browser could still show up on the left or on the Right, according to how it's configured ...or simply detached as a new separate window The top bar could also include the toggle buttons for Virtual Keys and ReGroove which both could still be detached on separate windows or attached/stacked horizontally in any order vertically Same with the Sequencer, could show up at the top of the Rack or still at the bottom We could quickly toggle the Navigators with 1 click, as/if needed same for the Transport (on all windows: Rack, Sequencer and Mixer) ...with a bigger T...

Great new interesting Rack Devices and features :) POLYTONE DUAL‑LAYER SYNTHESIZER with cool morph capabilities RIPLEY SPACE DELAY hinting at a lot of very interesting capabilities more neat  Rack Device Tools a tighter, more practical Sequencer for clip editing TAG s finally!!! but... something's off with that picture above :/ The devices list was kept on a different section, separate from the new floating(?) browser. Am I now forced to scroll through the Device Palette to reach a device "deep" in the list instead of my regular 2 click (on the Favorite and then on the Device)? Are Devices also tagged like the patch/sample files shown in the video? Do I need to text search for every device that's more than 2 pages away from a double-click or click'n'drag ? Where's the Device Favorites ? I can see the Favorite Lists  section on the new browser but... I'm not seeing Rack Devices in there, so... is Reason 13 really FASTER on every possible aspect when ...

Exploring the current possibilities of what A.I. generative tools allow... ...tiny baby steps, I know :)

I just stumbled on some file archives where I kept the last version of my patches for Reason 6 (if I'm not mistaken) Factory Sound Bank. Then thought it would be fun to check if any were still listed in the first group of patches, when we create a device. To my surprise, some familiar names still show up in Reason 12, eh! Smooth Wobbler! Epic Chip Lead! Artwist Bass and Chip Arpeggio! and some of my favorite Combinator (v1) ones are still included too, nice! :) Needless to say that we kinda had a theme going for that FSB,  that's why there were so many "wobble", "dirty" and "chip-tune'ish" patches ;) Some of the more odd Combinator ones don't make any sense nowadays because of all the new Rack Extensions that keep coming out, especially from Reason Studios. Ok, now... I'm trying to think what else might be in there... hmmm... I remember doing some for Parsec (Phrap One Bass and Phrap Two Bass comes to mind) ...and Complex-1 (Panflute, C...
