New Reason Synth: Objekt (first look)

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

It is a Audio to sythersizor device using the 3D frequency Model taken from the input audio live or via sample into a new sythersised sound. For example I can use church bells as the input source sound and then select or input the sound of a clap, then then device will use the recording of church bells but instead of sounding like bells it now sounds like clapping but with all the characteristic and timming of the bell sample. Wow that was a long sentence lol.

[@callesjonell5943]

What degree of certainty do you have? Do you actually know or is this a very educated guess? (really hope you are right!)

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@callesjonell5943 The videos visuals, audio combined with what Ryan and others said in them, its name and now the actual pictures of the device, finally its its name Objekt (Object) Modelling sythersizor. This pretty much is exactly what I said it is, there are other similar devices such as Substantia and Chromaphone Collision on the audio software and plugin market. You can check those two out to understand the concept of 3D modeling synthesizers however be aware that Reasons device functions are obviously not going to be the same as they always try to do something a little different.

[@callesjonell5943]

@@HOLLASOUNDS Thanks so much for your detailed answer!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@callesjonell5943 I think it looks and sounds great. Reason Studios devices are usually top quality stuff.

[@Samivermusic]

Thanks for the explanation. I wondered how the audio in would work sound mangling wise.

[@julianmorrisco]

I hope we get a wind type model as well as a string one. The Karplus-Strong and variations is great and all but there are a ton of them available, even Surge has a string modelled option for its oscillators. But something equivalent to the old Yamaha VL1 familyetc would be fantastic. Ok, I still have a VL70m module lying around but it’s a pug to programme and the editor now available looks great and everything but costs more than I paid in the late 90s for the module. Also, all my old hardware is gathering dust now that soft synths are so good.

[@marlonblackmon202]

Awesome video!!! I'm definitely excited. Hopefully they put a nice sale price on it.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Probably 20% off the first week.

[@StockMusicMusician]

There's a chance it won't be available for individual sale. I have no idea, but with all of the core updates, they could bundle it and say its all part of Reason 12.5.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@StockMusicMusician Its going to be Plus and shop, not included in Reason 12.

[@dougroyce5784]

I recently was reminded of chromophone 3 and figured this is Reason’s answer to that with some Reason innovations like the mod matrix and the external input. I like this. I try not to use too many VSTs with Reason. I have so much in Reason I don’t see the need to do so.

[@dougroyce5784]

That randomizer feature from Algoritm is 🔥🔥🔥. If they made a randomizer device that attached to any synth would be next level! These cool little quirky things are why I stick with Reason.

[@StockMusicMusician]

That would be cool!

[@chocomalk]

I can't wait. I love the idea of modeling synths, friktion is great but limited. The "audio in" means this thing is pretty open ended, you could throw a whole mix through it lol

[@StockMusicMusician]

Fingers crossed!

[@Dogboy73]

Stoked for this one. Sounds amazing (assuming all the sounds in the video are Objekt). Slightly odd looking thing. But that's less important than how it sounds. Can't wait.

[@StockMusicMusician]

Fair enough!

[@dougroyce5784]

In the top right corner it has a tuner that says analyze and fix. 🤔🤔

[@StockMusicMusician]

Yea... I'm thinking you can drop samples in!

[@dougroyce5784]

That input is a game changer! I wondered why you would need this if we have klang and Pangea already but this makes sense. BTW: Thanks for relieving the tension and making this video😂

[@StockMusicMusician]

Glad it was helpful! Klang and Pangea are actually samplers (playing recordings of instruments), while my guess is that this actually is synthesizing the underlying sounds from scratch.

[@djice1804]

No matter how AI does it, we will always revert back to acoustic sounds for peace of mind and that’s all that matter- All these other sounds are mind boggling 3D noise from outer space. Probably from NASA 😂

[@anthony5868]

When they stop shafting us British, I might start buying from them again. U.S - Reason 12 $499 = £397 GB £499 When I buy other software, it automatically corrects the currency so the price is fair. We pay 20% more for reason stuff. It’s a disgrace really. They haven’t had a penny off me since Reason 10

[@kypresso4328]

Its vat, they dont have vat added to prices in america, thats why the price is 20% higher.

[@anthony5868]

@@kypresso4328 - That is a fair comment, but the same goes for Euro’s €499 is £437 where most of Europe have a comparable tax system. That’s still quite a saving from £499. We’re still getting hit more than anyone else. If everything I’ve purchased from reasonstudios was in euro equivalent prices, I would have saved a fortune. All those rack extension and upgrades 😱 I dread to think what I’ve spent.

[@moontan91]

i'm very tempted. subscription is 200$ per year. it is pricy, but...

[@StockMusicMusician]

There’s some great stuff in it, no doubt.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

Interesting concept but I can see my eyes getting tired of that GUI quickly. Can you imagine a few of these and a Polar RE in a combinator! Need sunglasses.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

You have 4k zoom with Reason 12, maybe you should upgrade because looks nice and clear and big to Me.

[@chocomalk]

It's def not pretty but I think it's designed more from a workflow perspective.

[@dougroyce5784]

Looks easy on the eyes to me.

[@gijsalexeihutchinsondjands4262]

🎉🎉🤯😱

[@arothmanmusic]

If that audio-in means it'll behave anything like 'Vochlea' which I keep seeing ads for, I may have to buy it. I'm a decent singer, but a shite keyboardist.

[@StockMusicMusician]

I don't think that's how it will be working (could be wrong)! My guess is it's probably taking the sound quality of the vocal, but the pitch and length information from the keyboard.

[@uptownfragrance6148]

U can't make hiphop with it the sounds more like sound effects

[@classfront]

You could design your own drums with it.

[@StockMusicMusician]

Probably a lot of glitches and cymbal sounds too. Would probably be great for lo-fi hip hop textures.

[@TheTonewavesound]

I didn’t see the cheat sheet on the site where the download was all I see is spending money on the site. So please unsubscribe me from this site because I’m not interested in people who lie thanks

[@schragemusik]

Alchemy. Oh yes. The wonderful synth that Apple took from pc users. One of the reasons I detest Apple.

[@silentsymphony2972]

Europa is not that goood! Serum smashed it out of the DAW. If you said Friktion I would of said yes! But you didn’t. So I ain’t listening to you!

[@StockMusicMusician]

Well Serum is one of the best synths out there, but Europa is one of the better stock synths in a DAW. But Friktion and Algoritm are better.

[@thedjjudah]

Europa is just as good as Serum, the only thing that seems to get people about serum is its user interface. Yes, serum has more wavetables, yes serum is drag and drop. But Europa has way more modulation sources, and can do cool things that Serum can't. Can you draw your own wavetable in Serum? How about your own filter? Sure, Serum has more noise oscillators, but in Europa you can pitch, modulate, detune, and do a lot more to create your own custom noise. Serum (as far as I know) can't.

[@silentsymphony2972]

@@thedjjudah ummm you said it. User interface is a much better on Serum! Aaaaaand Reason Studios went in the wrong direction with Europa! I have no idea why they couldn’t follow one of their own synths, Thor! Everything’s on one screen. None of this changing to different oscillators. That’s why I don’t like Europa! Oh yeah and you can upload your own waves tables to Serum and spend a million years making your own. But that’s pointless. The fact that with every device after Europa was better. All user friendly and nearly all on one screen! Friktion, Complex and Algorithm! Dwn! 🎤

[@thedjjudah]

Not trying to be a jerk, but you care more about how pretty a UI is over the power of the synth and what it can do?

[@silentsymphony2972]

@@thedjjudah 🙄no. Nothing to do with it being visually nice. I specifically said I like things being on one screen. Europa isn’t. That’s how real things work. Like Reasons mixer! Amazing!

Another Toy

[@pixelbender5897]

why didnt you let us hear the thing?? boring

[@StockMusicMusician]

Because it was not out yet for demos.

[@zyxyuv1650]

Reason has one of the weakest Sequencer/Piano Roll/Arranger of any DAW you can get in 2023. Since music composition comes in a much higher priority before FX for me, that makes Reason a garbage software. All I can see from Reason Studios is year after year of consistent failure. I remember trying to convince them to make the sequencer better 10 years ago but it was like talking to a wall. At this point I can only feel bad for people who still use this software.

[@InMyMindNr1]

True in some ways but kind of a non issue since you can just use Reason as a VST in whatever DAW you like.

[@StockMusicMusician]

I tend to agree. I've generally been using Reason as a plug in in Logic for the past couple years.

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

More instruments = more time to code Apple Silicon transport... ...pass.

[@eddogq28]

Reason works fine on MacBook m2. Has for months. VST3 support and all. What issues do you have?

[@rushdown24]

They are beta testing that ATM I think?

[@StockMusicMusician]

I agree that their #1 priority should be improving the DAW instead of adding new devices which third-parties are capable of creating. But that said, I doubt it's the same team that does core DAW work and synth design.

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

@@StockMusicMusician That's fair. I merely feel that their entire development team needs to be re-allocated to bring them up to the "current standard" instead of loading lead and gold on what is becoming an increasingly sinking ship. The market dictates value, and it feels as though they have some "fantasy driven" ideal that their hopes, dreams and ideals are of greater value to the market than the actual demands from the same market. Know what I mean? Reason Studio's creation of additional skus on a platform which isn't accessible to all users of the 2 Major OS is like their version of "Waves Subscription"... Only so many will tolerate it... For "How long" (I feel) is the "question".

[@probindemufhoes42069]
