Reason Adapted?

[dczx]

Hi,

I looked at an Oxygen 8 today and it said it came with "reason adapted"... what is this? is it any good?

[hjack]

well we're talking on a demo with a pretty name

[quincy]

Its a cut-down version of reason. There are a couple of variations i believe, but basically you get a limited nmber of certain reason devices to play with and route with, but you can't add more. At least that is the case with the version igot with my audiophile soundcard.

Perhaps nice to play around and maybe record some loops or something, but i suspect probably not powerful enough for real good use. If it was, the props wouldn't get many upgrades out of the deal

But hey as a free toy with something you will buy anyway, no loss really.

It's more powerful than you think. It only comes with a preset rack of instruments/effects (no maelstrom, only chorus/delay/rev), but does include the standard NN-19 refill (which is about 540 megs of sounds). It has the basic instruments (2xsubtractor, nn-19, redrum, etc) and the sequencer.

You could do a whole track with it, easily...but will probably outgrow it very soon.

So it's pretty much reason 1?

yeah, pretty much, 'cept you can't add unlimited instances of anything.

Does fibonacci know you have his sequence?

Does Mr. TR-909 know you have his?

redrum is useful because you can load up wave files to
the real drawback for me was no rewire

[bugs]

It is almost the same as Reason 1--no NN-XT or Malstrom,and fewer effects. A good into to Reason however and I think there is a discount for upgrading to Reason 2-3.

I have Reason Adapted, and it ReWires fine into Tracktion. And I personally enjoy the sample set it comes with. If nothing else, the samples made it worth it.

Disclaimer: I may have a different version than you have. I do have the version Digidesign gives out with their Protools systems, as it came with the hardware. And I can use it as an actual plug in inside Protools. But it works with other Rewire hosts also, as i said.

M-Audio distributes two different versions of Reason Adapted with their hardware:

"Reason Adapted" and "Reason Adapted Express"

From the descriptions I could find, it seems like the original Reason Adapted has a couple of more instruments and effects devices (NN-XT, RV7000 etc.). I'm not sure about ReWire, but it is a possibility that the Express version has a limitation on this also.

I've just ordered the M-Audio O2 keyboard, which comes with Adapted Express, so I'll know in a couple of days. I really hope it supports ReWire, as I'd like to use Redrum with Tracktion.

I have an oxygen 8 and have reason adapted. I try to use it with tracktion 2. But i usually get an error.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm prettey much a noob at tracktion.
