[for Reason users] May Madness sale is on, what have you bought / buying? :)

[zoidkirb]

Picked up Autosub.
It's a one trick pony: nice , clean, 'audible' sub on any size speaker.

The other trick it does is floating knobs & faders
Not buying until they fix this.

Ok two tricks
Didn't worry me though in fact if I had to vote on looks alone this could be my favorite RE. I feel I'd be fine using this one even if there's never a Reason HD update.

Delta midi computer looks interesting.
https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack ... -computer/
With the included modules a lot can be done:

Input,Output,Transpose,TransposeRandom,SetNote,QuantizeNote,ChordGenerator,OffsetVelocity,OffsetVelocityRandom,SetVelocity,VelocityCurve,MultiplyVelocity,OffsetbyMIDI#,Delay,ClockDivider,ChanceSwitch,SequentialSwitch,If,Merger/Splitter,CVOutput,SetSeed

[kiezum]

And also Sequences is interesting. Does anyone know if you can offset notes in Sequence?

Yes, you feed it MIDI and it will move the sequence up or down depending on where that MIDI is in relation to root note defined in bottom-right corner. You can also use CV on the back for it.

It's probably one of the best REs that came out in the last 12 months or so. Question you have to ask to yourself is - will you actually build patches yourself? Because if not, probably one of the off-the-shelf Players will be sufficient and faster I 'romantically' imagine myself using it to build some complex Players, but realistically I know I wouldn't so I've passed on buying it

I'm looking for pure Rack functionality to and from the DAW now. I almost bought the delta-midi-computer but its exclusive to inside Reason from what I can tell. I'm sure one could squeeze some Rack functionality out of it with some creative routing, but likely not worth the effort.

Not sure what you mean? It takes MIDI in and spits - altered - MIDI out and that works with Rack VST. That's why 11.1 was huge, because it opened access to Players to other DAWs.

It seems to be user friendly. Not difficult. 200 presets. The only thing it’s missing is (javascript-like) midi scripting for advanced midi processing.

I'm not saying it's difficult! I'm asking will you spend 5-10 minutes building a patch that's already possible in other Player you have at a click of a button? If your answer is yes, then it's a no-brainer getting it

[kiezum]

Macro knobs (and cv-in) should also be added to Delta.

And yes, I would definitely invest 10 minutes to make a custom midi effect! Much quicker and cheaper than searching for an existing device.

I'm well aware about midi out of Reason Rack, I made plenty of posts about it stating it was 100% necessary and didn't upgrade until it had it (which was 11.2). Seemed to me from the videos I watched that the vast majority of midi functionality inside of delta-midi-computer is geared toward native (inside reason) control only. An example the random function, only goes to connected devices inside Reason itself. Perhaps I missed something, care to elaborate?

Players by default don't need any wires, because MIDI flows "magically" to the instrument (or next Player) that Player is attached to. If instead of instrument you attach it to MIDI Out device, then it will take that MIDI - in this case altered by random function in Delta - and spit it out to the host DAW.

BTW, there's Output module in Delta that works exactly as described above and there's CV Output module, that instead sends the signal to one of 8 CV out pairs in the back. But even those can be used in host DAW, via MIDI Out's CC functionality, although not all DAWs support it - Logic does, Reaper got it few days after Reason 11.1 was out, Bitwig got it in recent beta, Live still doesn't have it and I don't know about Cubase, but coming from VST creators I'd be surprised if it doesn't

[THE INTRANCER]

It was 7 years ago since I bought an RE and the last one I did buy was Antidote... I've not even installed Reason 7 on my Windows 10 installation, because I don't feel the need to have it. Everything is just too tiny since moving up in resolution. The saving grace was that when I bought U-HE's plugins as RE's, I could then use his VST's versions in other DAWs.

Yeah, we know, we have heard the story before, multiple times.

Not precisely what is meant but appreciate your input Antic -- I'll just give it a trial and see for myself what type of damage I can or can't do.
