Can you get the reason synths as vst's

[chronicrecords]

and use them in other daws? if not wat are some vst synths that rival reasons thor

[hurlingdervish]

nope

[cloak and dagger]

Short answer...no. I'm more bummed about not being able to get the reverb / tape distortion as a VST, personally.


As far as what rivals Thor...there's plenty depending on what you use it for. I'd recommend Vember Audio Surge (my favorite)...the other ones I hear mentioned a lot for tweakability are Audjoo Helix, z3ta+, and Zebra, but I haven't tried them really (apart from Helix, which I liked). Also, everybody here seems to love Massive and Albino (or Predator) for basslines, again I've only just demoed them but would assume they offer just as much tweakability as Thor, if not more.

if you've got reaktor you can get a subtraktor ensemble for it, search its on here somewhere

[sainttex]

you could access reason in DAWs that utilize the rewire protocol.

Rewire???

I know its a hastle, but it works!

[legend4ry]

someone has made subtractor as a VST

http://y0u-file.narod.ru/SubsTractor.htm

Dunno if its good or not.

[yellowhighlighter]

i don't mind rewiring. the only thing that bugs me is having to save two separate files.

Re-Wire is your friend. When I do use reason, which is not very often but I do have some great re-fills that I like, I usually just end up recording the audio into my DAW on one of the re-wire audio channels.

I've tried that SubStractor VST, and it's pretty terrible. Used up loads of CPU and the interface had some awful issues with it. I wouldn't recommend it.

while we're on this. what are some vsts that are similar to the malstrom?

The only one I've ever been able to find that comes near to the perfection that is Malstrom is Gr4ainz VST. ---> http://www.sknote.it/download.htm or http://www.kvraudio.com/get/2159.html

It doesn't llok the same or have the same features, but the granular synthesis engine is pretty cool.

Also, Camel Audio Alchemy has a granular mode. Download and check out the demo from here ---> http://www.camelaudio.com/Alchemy.php

i downloaded both versions of Gr4ainz and placed them in my VST folder but for some reason renoise doesn't see them. it also doesn't see the predator demo i downloaded TWICE which was a pain because i had to create a new email.

to the renoise thread!!

@yellowhighlighter; you are using Renoise, right?

The rewire implementation in that is very very well made. Give it a go!
