I've checked out Harvest a number of times. Full props to the author for continuing to add more features over time. But it's all designed around a central concept of randomness, and while you can sort of point that randomness in various directions, it doesn't seem to even pretend to apply any kind of concept of musicality to the notes it chooses to play. It's just.. random, and it virtually always sounds random. Compare that with something like Orb Composer, which at least conceptually generates random stuff with some basis in historic music theory.

reMIDI is a potentially cool tool, and with the huge library of classical MIDI tracks to chew up, I think it's more likely to produce the kind of inspirational "happy accidents" you might want, even though it's not actually random at all. I'm not sure how to integrate it into a workflow; it's definitely a "MIDI sampler", so you can use it for lots of things you might have used audio loops for, but with more flexibility, maybe?

Anyone know if the Reason 12 upgrades you can now buy directly from the reasonstudios site are also going to be available from resellers in the next few weeks?

Can see jrrshop are still offering $129 upgrades to 11 (gets you 12 too), but as I have 11 already I’m not sure if that’s going to work for me?

I wonder if CRUSH PACK: FREAK will be the NI Freebie for Christmas?

I wonder if CRUSH PACK: FREAK will be the NI Freebie for Christmas?

Based on it being offered as the free plugin from PB this month?

Thank you Ceej for the insightful review. Yes flexibility and flow. One thing is to extract MIDI from something you like like Live and other apps do, other is to have a sort of scan/compare/modify tool with programmable controls which seems to be very able to navigate inside within DAWs and different setups.
The only thing that remains uncertain is that version 2 was already released at 2018, what about its developers, future updates, forum community? Not so relevant questions at its mature present state and accessible price anyway.

Just noticed Behringer Wasp hardware is £169 on Amazon UK. Is this the least popular of the Behringer clones to be so cheap?

One of the least popular but one of their best, IMO. It has loads of character and can make a lot of interesting modular-type sounds with no effort.

Wasn't the original Wasp relatively inexpensive when it came out too? I'm not sure, but I think the design of the Wasp may make it less expensive to manufacture.

That’s more down to the original Wasp having a capacitive keyboard, and it wasn’t pressure sensitive like on a Microfreak. I’m pretty sure the wasp price drop is just due to lack of demand.

Unique delay! And yeah... never pay full price on any plugin - there's always a sale coming, or a giveaway.
