Can you create rack filters that host multiple VSTis, effects, mixers, etc and have the synth and effects patches saved ala Combinator? Imagine the ability to layer 2 Minimoogs, FM7, a sampler, some effects etc and create a patch that can be called up without setting up and routing all those tracks, sends etc. Is this possible? I never investigated racks in enough depth when I had T, but it seems the framework for a Combinator-like unit exists in T. To what degree it is able to do the same thing I'm not sure.
Anyone care to comment? If this isn't possible yet, I'd love to see it considered by Jules. The potential would be enormous. Maybe the CPU hit as well.
Reason's Combinator and Tracktion's Rack filters?

It can already be done; however, an improved way of creating and navigating your presets would be a nice addition.

I've been doing this for years...
fattening up mono-synths with a little detune is my primary use, but sometimes I just feel like creating Absynth killers (a couple of pattern gate/delay/filter plugs and two or three decent 2oscs will get you there in no time).

So, racks do remenber what presets a synth/effect is set to when you save the rack?

yup, it's just like the filter section, just you can vary the way things are connected.

I remember when the Combinator was Reason3's big announcement, and I (as a Tracktion and eXT user) was like... er... so?

its all in the name surely ???
would you want a "rack filter" ...

In all fairness to Reason, it works well. I'm not sure that rack filters can allow you to group/automate different controls across different VST either. It is pretty cool. I was up and running with it much faster than I ever grasped rack filters. If ease of use is one of T's strong points, it doesn't necessarily apply to rack filters.

Really? I understood Rack Filters from the moment I saw them. I don't know what could possibly have been difficult, but OK. Sorry, I know that sounds like an insult, but I don't mean it that way, I just mean that I honestly don't understand what could throw anyone about Rack Filters.

in all fairness greg ... using them for multi-out and send / return duties isnt THAT intuitive ...Lunch Money wrote:I just mean that I honestly don't understand what could throw anyone about Rack Filters.
... but using them to just build stacks / chains of generators and effects (as in our combinator analogy) is a piece of piss ... and great fun too !!!

But that's the thing, Combinator does let you do more than just stacks and chains. Anyway, my point wasn't to argue superiority, just to find out if racks did this (specifically embedded VST remembering patch settings and automation).pHz wrote:in all fairness greg ... using them for multi-out and send / return duties isnt THAT intuitive ...Lunch Money wrote:I just mean that I honestly don't understand what could throw anyone about Rack Filters.

hey braj ... its all good ... TBH i dont know the combinators capabilities that well (and the ability to assign multiple parameters to a single GUI control would be a cool addition to tracktions array of filters ... jules - you reading this ??? ) ...
... but yes - as mentioned - patches within racks are stored and since automation exists outside the rack itself then it too would be saved ...
