Next Propellerhead Reason upgrade (9.5) to include VST support

[Jace-BeOS]

Anosou, now please add that automatically returning playing cursors. That is so fking annoying. Then midi chase so long notes will play middle of them, so annoying that you need to listen long notes always from the beggining. Takes so much unnecessary time, jesus. And automation curves, tensionline between the points, just like in FL. And mp3 export. But please add that automatically returning playing cursors and midi chase to 9.5 too. Big thank you!

Noted! We have a big backlog of stuff we want to do (of course) and it's always hard to prioritize (of course), but let me know what you really want to see and I'll take it into consideration

Well, if you read these messages on above, you can clearly see that this playing cursor doesn't return automatically on stop, is pretty damn annoying and many people hate it. It makes things frustrating. Shouldn't this type of problem be pretty high on to do list? Plus like its said, adding this should be just couplr lines of code. Easy and fast to add, yet it would male many people life much easier. I don't know your priorities, but to me, this should be top on the list to fix. People complain this all over the internert. So, win win, how it sounds? Plus if you add this and that midi chase feature, I promise you to that I will buy Reason. A new customer for you. Isn't that what you want, new customers. So add at least this to 9.5, please? Easy and fast to add

Automatic return is bad for those, who stop to fix something where the cursor stopped. Right now you stop and press stop one more time to get the cursor back.

Agreed. It should be an easy thing to implement, but as a toggled setting so users can use it or not.

I'm wondering if there will be any other big changes when they release Reason 10. Please Don't start a subscription model!

[Fleer]

Must have missed it, but are AU plugins covered?

[fedexnman]

Im pretty sure 1. VST 2. PDC were and the top 2 FRs for Reason.... I wonder what FRs 3-10 ?

No

Can someone try out MIDI Guitar from Jamorigin and see if it works please?

And confirm that drag n drop midi works with ezdrummer? Pm me if you prefer

That would be another reason for me to NEVER upgrade ever again...

[heks]

Did a search and couldn't find it mentioned, are Waves plugins to be supported natively, or will they need a vst wrapper eg metaplugin?

They are being used in the demo video, so I imagine that tells you a lot...

Thanks dented42ford.
As an option to buy Reason, wish they did something like Xfer has with splice to buy serum . Dont even notice it going out of the bank,, and even more important nether does the wife

That risk would actually make it more likely for me to upgrade from 7 to 9.5 instead of waiting for 10. Then 9.5 might be the version one stays on if they go subscription only. On the other hand, if the subscription price is reasonable then I don't have too much against it if it means a flow of updates. (my Photoshop sub costs ~10 usd per month, that's fair imo, like a spotify or netflix subscription)

I really do hope they will open up for resale of RE's (I'm assuming the reason why not atm is because of the potentially insane amounts of customer support work it could generate) When I approached props about selling my R7 license a while back (still got it) they responded with a pretty rude "we dont give a shit about you" attitude. I hope they manage to change their attitude from the ground up. I really want to like them but they've made it pretty darned hard in the past.

Finally a reason to buy Reason. Maybe they would win the market if they offered it 15 years ago

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure the human race has continued to procreate for these past 15 years. Has it occurred to you that new users can now consider Reason as an option without being bound to just buying RE's?

Nobody can't go back 15 years, but I think that Reason wouldn't be as superior at this point if they wouldn't go this selfish solo path.

I don't think I'd even consider the path they took a "selfish" path - it just made absolutely no sense before 6.0 came about. And I can't slight them for trying to monetize their product ecosystem - they're a business after all! They are not a charity. I mean, before 6.0 (or Record, for that matter) there was no audio recording in Reason... no time-stretching or quantize audio... no drag and drop... no MIDI-hardware control.. no audio pitch editor.. no decent mixer... there were soooo many fundamental necessary things missing from Reason's sequencer, that adding VST at that point first would have... well - I dunno - would have been a blunder IMHO. I mean there's still things missing that needs to happen, but at least it's a much nicer experience that is truly a solid alternative to many other DAW.

I don't disagree - just my way to say it. But we need to understand that Props made all the features you listed before VST support and were able to focus into these, more than if they woulda add VST support already 15 years ago.

Indeed! Very true.

again, the education most Reason die-hards are about to get in the music-production Industry is hilarious.

Awesome to watch a completely out of touch user base finally get schooled on what's happening in the real world.

Their weird attitudes over the last many (about 7) years makes it easy to relish in their scrambling.

Most die hard Reason folks have other DAWs and are quite aware of whats available in the VST world. But they love Reason which is why there was a constant request for VST in Reason. Who may actually get an education are VST snobs who may start using Reason when they are exposed to the many wonderful REs and how they integrate with Reason and each other.
