Dear members,
Just wanted to widen my knowledge in terms of terminology and the subject said it all. I know Bigwig:container, Live:Rack how about cubase, studio one, FLStudio, Logic etc ?

Thanks for sharing.

You could say the multi instrument in Studio One is something remotely like a combinator. Reason combinator is pretty unique though. It can do a lot more than the Studio One multi instrument. And probably a lot more than any other implementation in other DAW's.

And nothing similar in Cubase sadly.

I think Reason Combinator 2 is going to have a slightly unique place in this list with the complete ability to customise and create a very unique UX and UI experience. I'm not sure anything else has that, most are just 'functional', some or fun and easy to use (Live, Bitwig) other are a bit of an afterthought (or a 'me to' feature) an buried away! I suspect Combinator 2 will be something of a headline feature for Reason.

.. basic channels/tracks in Reaper. :)

They can be hugely complex modular monsters and even allow feedback routing. Not easy to manage though and a true PITA to decode once you open up an older project and try to figure out what the hell is going on!! :x :lol:

Cubase has track presets. Not the same but you can save an instrument with its whole fx chain together.
I wish Reason VST could load VST's itself. I'd use it a lot more then.
If Combinator 2 gets that feature, I think could get extremely popular.

FL's Patcher is the same and they didn't have to remove any DAW features to introduce it ;) :P

Proper macro controls for single/multiple parameters is a pain (or an impossibility) to set up, though, so I wouldn't put them on the same page with Combinator which has very easy to set up control over everything.

I really hope Propellerheads would for once go all out and do something really flexible and incredible with the Combinator udpate. Like a wide selection of faders, knobs, buttons, XY-pads that you can fully customize in any way you want onto a big panel you can design yourself...

...

Unfortunately moves like these haven't happened for Reason in over ten years so I expect it will be another "60% of what people hoped for" thing that's nice but that's outdone by other software (Bitwig) already on day of release. :neutral: :neutral: :neutral:

Not sure about "all out", but it's where they're going with it. There's already some great looking devices made by the beta community.
