Propellerhead Announcement...

[futures_untold]

I have no idea how many people are asking for it, but it's incredibly useful all the same. Definitely a welcome feature.

I agree that it is cool and that it improves the speed with which we can explore possibilities. But it isn't a feature people have been crying out for if you read the propheads forums.

Besides, some of the requested features are pretty lame (a new layout for Thor? Really?)

Thors interface is cringeworthy, especially when compared to real hardcore synths like Alchemy, Surge or Circle. The request is minor, but much needed none the less.

I don't give a fuck about Reaper though, not gonna get into an argument about what computer program is better.

Fair enough, horses for courses

edit: I would LOVE Reason as a VST though, since the only thing I really really miss from it are the advanced reverb and distortion units...still haven't found a VST, pay or otherwise, that can hold a candle to them.

For rizzle! I agree completely.

I never really thought there was anything wrong with Thor's interface. I don't think you're going to find one that compares to something like Circle, but Thor always seemed really straightforward and simple to me. I guess in the end, it has more to do with the user than the designer (I still hate you so much, Twin2).

[futures_untold]

I wish to work in design for a living. I spend far to long analysing usability, not just in software, but for all products.

Thor is poorly laid out, that's all. It is the best synth in Reason with out a doubt, although less revolutionary than Malstrom.

Blocks is totally waste, i don't get it, so it basically does what copy and paste does?

Yup

it doesn't look like the greatest update in the world and doesn't have the immediate wow factor that a new device would have. but workflow improvements are always a good thing. but let's hope the features revealed over the next few days are more exciting.

Yea man

Workflow improvements should be free imo, new devices/features should be paid for.

[samurai]

totally agree. as reason/record is a closed system i think the 5 big updates should be new devices. and stuff like blocks and other workflow improvements should just be additional add-ons.

[ninjadog]

Straight up motherfucker.

[Disco Nutter]

The two presented features so far don't justify the "5" in my opinion.

But I'm not a Reason user.

I do agree with you about them adding new devices as a much more sound approach but you have to realize the whole update is free anyway so you can't really complain

[nowaysj]

One good thing about Reason over Fruity is that one doesn't need to change tool to do simple things like set loop points, copy blocks etc.

U persist with these ignorant statements.

For the riz, I and many others agree completely.

Kind of a silly thing to say, no? I mean, you don't comment halfway through a movie, "Man, this is a short movie!"

[nowaysj]

But you can stand up and say this is a long movie.

Think about it.

[decree]

But you can stand up and say this is a long movie.

Think about it.

again it is all worth it because it is all FREE

[samurai]

the reason 5 update isn't free btw.

i iz beta testing reason 5 and record 1.5 now so i can't talk about new devices.

No, but you can say "so far this movie sucks". You can also say "I hope something interesting happens next". This is why I said so far.
