It’s so nice to have a vst synth or whatever open while you are looking at the sequencer view. It’s superior to how REs are handled.
I’m super excited about the new reverb unit. It’s got everything I would ask for — pre-delay, shimmer — and is the modern reverb we all deserve. I use Supermassive all the time. It will be nice to have something high quality and feature rich in a native RE.
I don’t think there’s much else missing from Reason at this point in terms of devices except for one thing: we need a good, modern dynamic EQ. A native replacement for FabFilter would be amazing and is really the only thing Reason lacks in terms of devices. Of course I’m always interested in new players and CV utilities. But we’re good with synths and samplers in my opinion.
