  3. Seems like they'd think of making a real emulated modular patchable synth where you could select your modules and just start building your synth and patch away. Why haven't they done this yet?
    Strange that Reason was one of the first, if not the first, apps. that used those dangly patch cables to connect and build your environment and everyone has beat them to this virtual modular synth idea.... a bit sad.
    But Reason is still a cool tool in my book!!!

  4. They design carefully to the masses. The masses want semi-modular while the hard core want modular. Its all about moving the masses a bit at a time vs. being revolutionary.

    Revolutionary makes for risky business.

    The thing soudns very nice I think.

    truer words never spoken...

    seemed like they were following the "normalized and patchable" motif

    "The thing sounds very nice I think"

    I was "there" and it did sound nice

  6. Yes, Reason is great!!! And I am always stoked about new additions to the already fantastic app. that it is!
    It just seems that with modular synth sales being on the up and up more than ever that this is proof the market is there if they were to implement a virtual modular synth within Reason,..(no pun intended.)
    Clearly, it would be appropriate for Propellerheads to do this since this is their schtick and the fundamental interface of their virtual studio application to begin with.
    It would be a big advancement for the software and really enhance flexability.
    Especially with other manufacturers producing virtual replicas of the classics such as the Moog modular, EMS Synthi, ARP 2600 and even the Korg legacy series with their virtual version of the semi-modular MS-20.
    Reason/Propellerheads would be the ideal candidate to make an "all original" patchable modular software synth that isn't designed to be a virtual version of any classic.
    I think everybody would love it and it looks to me as though the time is right for this kind of move.
    I really don't think it would dilute any current sales and it would be a great tool for folks just getting into synthesis, as well as for the more experienced, to learn more about how sounds are made. It would also be wonderful for making modular synthesis more accessible to those who can't afford to take the modular plunge,...and not to mention the benefits within the realm of scholarly education.
    I would love it and I am sure a great number of others would dig it as well... Just imagine how cool it would be to be able to have that in your laptop on travels where you couldn't bring your modular....
    Anyway, just a thought....

  7. I agree. When more and more Reason users are empowered with the basic understanding of how a synthesizer works, they will take better advantage of tools they already had in 3.0. An MS-20 style synth within Reason is a simply fantastic idea.
