Transport bar not currently HD and unfortunately zooms with the rack, doesn’t look great. Note once you download the beta now it loads new updates from within Reason and they are much smaller files.

So is the mixer in HD now? And sequencer, too?

Is the new sampler and combinator included in the beta? I don't hear anyone talking about them yet.

No, its just the Rack as far as I know and can tell, but the mixer is pretty sharp anyway even when scaled up....which is good as if you want to scale up the rack you have to scale up everything when using the rack in Reason (but not when using the rack in other DAWS!)

No beta yet and none knows anything! IO think they will 'finish' the Rack HD first (not the DAW HD!) and release it to the subscription people to throw them a bone before beta testing anything else!

From what I understand, only Reason+ users can now use 3rd party REs in HD, which permanent license holders can't (yet). I'm pretty sure R+ owners will also get access to new sampler & combi first.

Are you sure? Perhaps on a 4K screen it's not as visible, but 1080p scaled up to 125% is pretty soft & fuzzy...

Oh well, d/l the beta and will try for myself

EDIT: Yes, it is in HD and it looks really good!

The same as channels in rack, certain elements of the sequencer. For the first time I'm excited about v12

I’ll talk about the beta all you guys want in the actual beta forum, but not at KVR.

I hate it (I mean the underlying tech for the beta forum)

Fair enough! Its very quiet on the official beta forum anyway, they could use some posts!

That said, this thread would also be dead without any beta info at all, such as what is currently in the beta, its not like we are telling people about the new secret DELETED BY MOD

Those of you running the beta were surely annoyed that it takes some time (seconds, even minutes) for the high-res assets to load up, right?

Well, apparently it's a feature and will stay like that in a final release!!!

Anosou wrote:This is intentional, though I think we can get it even faster in future updates. Basically we're scaling each hi-res asset to suit your zoom level, OS zoom setting, screen, pixel density etc. when needed. To not cause any issues (glitches, hangs, etc.) while you're making music, this is done with low priority in the background while you see a roughly scaled preview. It then "switches in" when done. Kind of like the time stretch preview in the sequencer. Once it's scaled, we cache the images so you only need to do it once for your zoom level of choice.

The dev team is looking at how fast we can make that without interrupting anything else, but for now it's a one-time thing that at least came from a nice place: us trying to not cause issues when you're making music.

One thing you can't take away from RS is that they truly innovate in the DAW space

So I guess Reason Hi Res is now out of beta as its released for Reason+ users.

I see a few people are posting snip s of the new sampler that was spotted in the rack in the launch video- looks pretty cool.

No, it's still in beta for normal people. It's out for Reason+ users.
