Next Propellerhead Reason upgrade (9.5) to include VST support

[EnochLight]

Anyway, sort of typical for Reveal-Sound. A bumpy start, and then it all gets even, with next couple of updates.

LOL! True. As an owner of the VST, I'm used to their song and dance. Too bad most first-time customers of theirs for the RE are seeing it this way first, though.

Well, I finally got my beta. Tested it hour and it so buggy that I can't actually do anything. Error after error. Plugin scan was error festival. Open vst gui, error box, tune knob, error box, don't do anything, error box jumps out all the time. Abort, retry, ignore, not matter what you press, all same. This is way too buggy atm. Feels more like early alpha than beta.

Now that we are getting vst compatibility.. what features are you waiting for before you upgrade or buy in?

I'm waiting for midi import to selected track option

Midi drag n drop from vst

Midi vst plugins

All a must for me. The few other features I'd Really love to see I can wait for.

If I can't use this I can't use Reason

Yea I'd agree with all those. Although a Propellerhead guy said that they're working on the drag an drop for later 9.x . (mind you they also said that for 8.x ...)
Maybe multi channel too if that's not there already - but it shouldn't open up 16 channels that cannot be folded and hidden. Drag and drop inserts in the mixer also. Maybe a volume/pan on the seq tracks.

Proper freeze track would be huge since im not on a monster setup. Super combinator would be a huge bonus.

before the super combinator,

will be handy soon and it's a free one

They actually said they were going to fix it in version 6.5

Edit

Oops I thought you were talking about the midi import bug

Anyone know if you can us auto cross fades yet?

The whole debacle in the past 24 hours with Spire RE is indicative of the half-arsed way in which Propellerhead operate, and I'm sure this will carry over into the implementation of VST as well. For those watching at home

Reveal Sound have been teasing for a LONG time to release Spire as a Rack Extension. It gets launched yesterday in the Propellerhead shop (in which they take a hefty commission of all sales). A plethora of bugs are discovered by buyers & triallers such as it being OUT OF TUNE (FFS this is supposed to be a high end musical instrument), CPU overload on automation parameters, plus parameters that aren't even automatable, a front screen artwork that still says 'Preview Model' or something along those lines, bugger-all CV on the back.

The whole inception of a closed-loop model for plugins and a store exclusively controlled by Propellerheads was for reliability. I have to ask the question.. IS ANYONE AT PROPELLERHEADS EVEN TESTING NEW RE'S FOR VIABILITY ???

In this case, clearly they are not.

This mess is yet another example of the poor quality of staff. Heads should roll, people need to be fired. It's long overdue. And the problem starts not with the lowest paid workers, but those who manage them. Ernst is on the way out regardless, but every single MANAGER there needs to be given the boot. They've faked their way into positions with a smile and a BJ, but the jig is up. Get them all the hell out, and then Reason may actually move in a positive direction at a pace that is reasonable instead of these drip-fed releases.

And guess who's been all over Spire like crabs on a hooker's gooch ? The company's dearest darling Enochlight, who hasn't said 'boo' about this release being a PROPELLERHEAD screw up as much, nay MORE than Reveal Sounds'. Maybe to a tone-deaf user, an out of tune synth is OK, even though at full price it was set to be one of the most expensive REs in the entire store.

The vst is Amazing. Even has microtonal options!

Searched the thread for "refill" and got no hits.

How will the use of refills be affected by VST accessability. I mean, with users being able to load Kontakt or other sampler VST's, will refills die off?

[noremorse]

Karmashaman could you just shut up with your insulting of individuals? It is way out of line, and if I was running a forum you would have benn kicked out a long time ago.

They apparently took it down while working out the kinks. It was up earlier.
