You'd have to seriously patch the shit out of Reason's stock synths and fx to get a sound like these. The analog emulations are freaking great - Dublin (MS-20-ish), Phoenix (OBX-A), Lexington (Odyssey), Berlin (ARP of some sort) - there are no Reason stock synths that emulate analog like these. I'd rather have those than Subtractor, Thor, and Malstrom. You also get the full M1, Wavestation, MonoPoly, Polysix, and MS-20. The pianos in Salzburg are better than Reason's factory pianos and any in Radical Piano. But I think Reason's stock synths are nowhere near the quality of most of the gadgets.

Ooof - are you for real, man? I mean c'mon, my ancient Access Virus sounds better than Reason's stock synths. Yeah it's all around disappointing tbh.īut in the context of Reason, most of them don't hold a candle to what you can do with stock synths and even just one or two effects. The sample slicer has no stretching capabilities.

You have to use this little file import dialogue, lifted straight from the iOS version. So yeah, I'm gonna say hard-pass on these.Īlso the sample importing in the Gadget plugins is weird. Plus there are some serious oversights like no multi-out on the drum units, and no option to disable velocity to amp scaling on many of the synths. But in the context of Reason, most of them don't hold a candle to what you can do with stock synths and even just one or two effects. I thought I was gonna use them way more than I did as I had a blast with them on iPad. In Cubase I seem to remember drag and drop from the browser worked with Grain so I don't think it's a limitation of all DAWs that they can't do it. Well in Reason at least drag and drop to third party VSTs from the filebrowser doesn't work.
