Koshdukai's Music(al) Reason(ing)

 Yeah, right, although... ...through 16 instances of my  Generic MIDI Channel aware Remote Codec+Map  (1 per MIDI Channel) Locking each of those instances to each of the 16 rack devices will allow at least playing with "poly-aftertouch" through MPE's multi-Channel Aftertouch ;) Hugely cumbersome, I know but that's usually how we do things in Reason when Reason doesn't (or until? it) properly supports these things :/ Remember my cumbersome MIDI OUT solution before we finally got a proper rack device for MIDI Output ? :) Well... 'till then, we'll have to wait for this and/or at least Poly-Aftertouch... but then we would also need a more complete support on VST hosting, allowing MIDI CC's and MIDI Channels to reach the VST (which they don't). Keeping my fingers crossed, as usual (for more than a decade now) ! :)

  ...and the new Combinator is too :)

Just stumbled on these 3 old trailers for Reason 2.5, Reason 3.0 and Reason 4.0 that only existed in Flash format. For historic REASONs (eh) I decided to convert them into video so we can still enjoy them now, in the non-Flash era :) DISCLAMER: All rights belong to Propellerhead aka Reason Studios, as far as I know.

Just "fixed" (redirected) the links that  some old posts had to the long lost "Rack Extension Review" site , all thanks to the  Web.Archive.org  (as usual) :) So now, those (still valid!) tutorial articles about CV and the Combinator are back through the good'ol WayBackMachine ! :) So, here's the Tutorial article list previously available at http://RackExtensionReview.com/author/Koshdukai/ CV in Reason: Behind those front panels CV in Reason: Getting them basics right – Part 1 CV in Reason: Getting them basics right – Part 2 Sound Layering: An intro to the Combinator

Reason is now also a VST3 instrument and effects plugin. If you've been waiting to get your hands on Reason's devices, Rack Extensions within its rack paradigm with the natural rack device stacking and wiring magic in the comfort of your (s)elected D.A.W., then Reason 11 is the version you've been waiting for and it's for you. Keep in mind that Reason 11.0 Plugin doesn't have : MIDI output : so you won't be able to use the Players MIDI note output in your D.A.W.'s device MIDI chain. MIDI Channel awareness on input : So all devices in that rack instance will get the same notes, MIDI OMNI style. The only workarounds are use another instance and/or use a Combinator "Receive Notes" filter and/or make use of note ranges again through the Combinator "Key Range" pair of settings. If you haven't been waiting for this, then what's new in Reason 11 for you? 5 new Effect rack devices ... well, 2 actually new: Qu
