New Reason Synth: Objekt (first look)

Reason Studios just announced a brand new synth for Reason! Objekt is going to be a physical modeling synthesizer, capable of creating tons of sounds and textures. Here is my first look at it.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[Dogboy]

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.

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 😂

[dougroyce]

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😂

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

[dougroyce]

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

[moontan]

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

[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.

[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.

[uptownfragrance]

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

[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.

[pixelbender]

why didnt you let us hear the thing?? boring

[silentsymphony]

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!

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.
