I love the players in Reason. I'm not musically proficient, so the players and generators are fantastic inspirational tools. More players for Reason!

The most impressive Reason player yet! I hope you guys continue to develop this player, I can see it driving my songwriting. Way less work than dealing with Scaler 2 🥳

This is an excellent device, further leveraging the advantages of Reason's rack architecture - please keep up the good work.

This is where Reason Studios is at their best: well thought out plugins, clever uniform interfaces and capable tools...

Brother Chris, it's always good to see your smiling face. God bless you. Props for all your hard work in these challenging times.

Presets on the Drum Sequencer lanes is a great reveal. Thank you Ludvig and team!

Big thank you to all the RS team. This stream has been inspirational.

I always learn really cool and inspirational stuff from these livestreams with you three. You guys rock!

Wow. This 2 hours flew by and has given me so many ideas and I feel genuinely inspired. Thanks RS!!

This is just fantastic, so helpful and inspiring when you're stuck on a song. Love it.

Okay, So I'm trying to get some understanding on being proficient with the Chord Sequencer. I'm like Dang it's a long stream, surely I'll learn what I'm missing. I'm so glad that I wanted to hear every drip & drop of your conversations. I received great info and inspiration; I also received an angel number at just the moment I needed it! The reference to George and Billy reached me in a moment in time that was much needed. I just wanted to drop a note of appreciation. I just experienced a wonderful moment. Thank you for sharing, Derrick Preston

Love you guys work, thank you.

This is so cool! I think in combination with Reason+ it really would have been awesome to allow custom patches to also manually set up chord relations (instead of just using the automatic machinery mentioned around minute 55). That would massively increase the long term value of this device. But this is on top of a truly exciting player that you already delivered here. Really looking forward to playing around with it!!

This baby is in a league of its own since you get different "next chord"-suggestion in genres like gospel, soul and so on. (not only EDM or basic pop/rock) But the absolutely best thing is that its played by real musicians. That way you get all the right inversions and so on. When I make music I always look for the next chord...I hear it in my head but can´t play it...Well, that is no longer a problem. Ni är så jäkla grymma!! Tusen tack! / Janne Andersson

Bought day one, sorry I missed the stream but I watched later. Keep it up!

We need more chord sets for sure..

Tack pojkar! Thanks Ryan!

reason is king since 1st edition !! love this software so much !! i don't use it in other software . mainly and only reason !! ho yeeeeeeee ! and this chord player is top notch amazing life changing !!

That was fantastic. I'm hyped. Going to use it to make a song right now. I have some cool Herbie Hancock chords from Tell Me A Bedtime Story, and I'm (hopefully) going to figure out how to make a set. We'll see.

Great stream, very interesting.

good job guys and definately a great song starter

Love this - fixes the constraint I have with 'Scales & Chords' to support non-routine chord sequences. I love the Beatles tunes and they had some weird transitions which S&C wouldn't support (without running 2x S&Cs instances). Need to have some fun with this EG work out playing CS going into S&C (CS for chords, and S&C for playing chord appropriate melody lines)

I tested it and its amazing.

About time for Chris to be on here!!

i love Reason and will always be a Reason User, this is better than SCALER and all those other scale and chord programs. I love you guys so much.

This was so interesting.

Could in future there also be seen what chord number each chords are in that key? It would be helpful when you are using functional harmony. That would be the beast feature.

Chris & Ryan, that's pretty awesome.

Great Player, nice video too. One small typo, the Chord Gate CV Output is labelled in the context menu as Chord Aate. Also would of ben nice to see the key in the Remote list, keep them coming.

I just got to the section where they talk about scaler2, I think Scaler holds it's value and place, but Chord Sequencer is just different. Actually, it reminded me a little more of Harmony Navigator. HN was/is a program I wish would be streamlined for ease of use. Chord Sequencer sort of melds Scaler and HN in my eyes.

Good device 👍

Dang I missed the stream!!!

Hopefully this comes out on m1 native/vst3 soon 🙏

Looks great. Showing also the scale degree (roman numeral) would be a nice addition to it (I V VI vi). Maybe in upcoming versions.

To create a new chord-set from various existing chordsets you don´t have to "put it on a midi". Just add another chord sequencer on top of the chord sequencer you wanna tweak and click on the chord buttons there. It will pass the notes of the chords down to the other chord sequencer (in edit mode)... :-)

Does turning the midi off keep it in the current scale or chromatic scale

Today, I put it on the MIDI.

I like your tutorials. Really want to have Reason 12 . Where do I get Reason DAW .

Bought Reason 3 back in the day, then 4 and then record, then ... I had an accident, lost hearing in my right ear, put music aside for awhile. Eventually my brain adjusted and I could hear pitch again. Then I had cancer and went through Chemo. The side effects were brutal and left my memory damaged. Even though I graduated from music production school at Pyramind in San Francisco, worked in Studios, played in bands, etc. I have forgotten so much. I miss playing with Reason so much. It was a daily practice and super fun. Now I have kids and want to teach them music and songwriting etc. They love video games and Reason is like a game for music. where do I start? I don't even have an interface yet. But after that? I'm struggling with even forming a good question. upgrade or buy new or subscription?

It would be nice to save custom chord sets in a user directory as opposed to presets.

This device could be seen as in the case of the Chords and Scales device as a bringing music theory into practice, good for me with no music schooling at all

I completely agree the Chord Sequencer is a powerful tool based on what I’ve seen, but it would be nice if the root chord was highlighted a different color from the other keys as I am not musically trained at all. Besides understanding the basic keyboarding principles. 53:55

I hate this...now all my music theory knowledge is not needed any more. ;-) But seriously I think it is very well executed! And one of the best players in Reason.

It would be nice to have the removed and not played but still on the piano shown notes, to be some kind of greyed out or colored differently. Thx 4 the Stream 🙏🏼

Would be nice if after recording a few chords , it could give you useful scales for those chords or even if you right click a pad it gives you a chord that goes well with the one you've previously recorded

This makes me wanna switch from Logic to Reason 😭

I would like to mix and match chord sets or be able to drag a chord and "lock it" and then move to another chord set.

If i update reason to the latest version this should come with the download right? Im so excited !

I just bought a copy of Chord Sequencer. Two things I wish were there are first) I wish that the root key followed along as one goes from pattern to pattern. Example: start off with the key of C. Change it to D. Switch to pattern #2, and the root key is back to C, and not D. OK, change the root to E, and then go back to pattern #1. The key is back to D (and not E). I wish that as I traversed from pattern to pattern, that the root did not change. Second, as I audition patches, the mini sequencer at the bottom doesn't reset. Example: Open a patch, and start playing. Stop it mid way through the progression (eg if it's 4 bars long, stop it in bar 2 or 3). Now switch to another Chord Sequencer patch. Instead of starting from the beginning, the marker remains at the same location, and starting/auditioning the sequence starts it at the same position it was previously stopped at, and not at the beginning.

IS THERE A WAY TO RESCAN FOR PLAYERS LIKE VSTS.?

‘Available’ might be the significance of the colour brightness?

TECH AND IMAGINATION = DAW REASON GENERATION!!!

I wish the machine could connect with the new vocoder...

Dark chord choice = the chords-less-travelled :)

1:44:45 - Can we get a whole livestream of bonus tricks like this? There are so many "hidden in plain sight" features that one doesn't necessarily think about like this. I would try to do the same using The Echo fully wet with some modulation applied but I think this sounds better.

Im confused with the key. I had it on C , but chose 2x G chords ( from jazz area ) Gm11 sus and G7sus . When I improvise with my guitar it sounds like it's in D??? what's up?

I JUST GOT THE TRIAL IT INSTALLED IN REASON 10 BUT NOT REASON 11 LITE I HAVE BOTH INSTALLED . DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET IT IN 11 LITE.

Good

Can this be used in any DAW, eg Loopy Pro? Thanks

Does anyone know where Midi Export is covered?

Would love to purchase chord generator as a standalone but is not owner of reason daw which is required

How do we get midi out of the player? I cant put it into the rack version to take advantage of the midi out functionality.

Chord Sequencer only works with time signature of 4/4, this is a hell of an oversight!

I would like to see strum and different play styles included.

I’d like to be able to share chord sets

@HOLLA SOUNDS Where did they say the device wasn't finished? And why release it if it is not finished? That makes no sense! I and others have some ideas to make this Player better, but I bet all we will see in the future is a few more chord sets.

literally everything is within reason 🤣

this would have been awesome if it was integrated with "scales & chords" and also maybe showed the number of the chord relative to the key.

Neo Soul chord set?

You could just add an ‘invert chord’ button.

Reason Studios, it's time for a serious chat. I respect you as Reason user since 2013. I saw the release of this new device and thought, not ANOTHER player- which mainly benefits those on subscription, unless we keep paying every time a new player is released. For me, this is asking too much from the average person who does this as a hobby, which I would expect is at least 99% of Reason users. I don't like to be critical about Reason as I've been using it exclusively since 2013. But my last update was 10. Those 9 and 10 updates were amazing, with great functionality and workflow updates. But since then it just feels like there hasn't been significant core progress to the actual DAW underneath all the fancy stuff. Yes, there has been some very cool stuff in that time, it's not all bad. And I appreciate Covid had an impact. But recently I learned another DAW as I have VST3-only plugins I want to use (which Reason has been way too slow to adopt). And after a steep learning curve, I now realise how many features are missing in Reason that are elsewhere. Reason is very visually inspiring and is fun to look at. But it's not that efficient, and is lagging behind badly in some respects. And now many long-time Reason users, like me, are being tempted to other DAWs and realising what else is out there. I really am genuinely worried about what is happening to Reason. But maybe this business model works, which is why you're going down this path. Maybe there's a big market out there for this sort of thing. All I know is, I never wanted to move away from Reason, but I find myself doing that, for now at least. I hope this feedback is of some use.

Mee too xD

Missed if this a VST to be used in Fl?

Chris just got fan. I watched one of his videos before but thats all I know of him. My Lord and Saviour Jesus CHrist won me over.

Please reggae Dub and danchall

if it's wrong but sounds good don't fightit, use it!lol🤓

So glad you survived the ’rona without too many serious results.

all you need is one finger today to make great stuff for the tik tokker's out there! This is going to be looked at by a lot of folks who can't play for sure cuz its visual in its chord selection and suggestions. I'm waiting for the Trap hi hat device!

Hey man can I please get some of that weed y'all smoking? You sure are having a lot of fun! Put it on MIDI?

VST3？？？？？？？？

I just wish the players weren’t so damn small

Reason studios don’t forget vst3 compatibility.... it’s pretty important... literally missing out on hundreds of dope vsts because reason ain’t up to date

Hio

*Would be nice to drag/drop in a MIDI chord set into Chord Sequencer to populate the spots, in addition to playing each individual chord on your keyboard. *This Player needs more RHYTHM (or STYLES) rather than just a one shot chord. You can go into different chord progressions if the Style was different. 
I’d like to experiment with the progression in Chord Sequencer, not send it to the main sequencer to work on while still not finished. *In EDIT Mode, it would be REALLY HELPFUL if the built-in keyboard of Chord Sequencer will play the note(s) you mouse-click on. No way to hear a potential chord without going back and forth and back and forth until you get it right. *In Run Mode, why can’t you jump ahead in the timeline to start the sequence where you want? If I am working on a 16 bar sequence, and I am around bar 12-13, I have to start at the beginning EVERY TIME to hear the sequence. *More Chord Sets. And Rhythms. (And not just chord rhythms, but broken and arpegiated runs of the individual notes in the chord). Needs more work, Reason Studios. Patiently awaiting v 1.1 Hope you guys can make this Player really awesome.

I don't know what to say about you. Can you consider the mood of users? There are too many software errors that haven't been corrected. Send them again every day. The price is so expensive that there is no progress at all

still no damn important small features like sync multi mixer levels on ssl to the rack levels smh...i can name 30 things that would make reason so much better man

I really don't understand what the signal flow sign behind your effector device is. The logic is really illogical

You are like a tortoise, even if you are slow, some feedback problems have never been solved！

did Ryan just say that he enjoys honesty? because there's a ton of users out here giving honest opinions about what needs to be changed in reason to give it important things that it's missing and instead of addressing that honesty, we stick to bubble gums and rainbows and glitter and unicorns and sales and promotion. honesty means we need to start listening to the users that have been loyal since version 1 of reason and have honest to goodness needs with respect to the platform.

Well folks....This is pretty nice, but this focus on players continues to make it clear that the sequencer and DAW itself is going to slowly be phased out. Your owners want you to focus on the rack and try to sell to as many people as possible. Mnay of the improvements the players bring could have been sequencer features and really make reason top notch. I'm not even mad about that. I'm just mad about the lack of communication and transparency. Your roadmap posts have done little to change that.

I love the fact that reason studios does their best to try to make things accessible to the beginners, but the problem is that they keep that focus on the beginners and completely ignore the advanced users which means a user can't grow with reason because since reason is constantly trying to keep things at a beginner level you will always stay at that beginner level and the devices and interfaces will always stay beginner. so growing past beginner is more boxed in because they keep the focus towards beginners always. it's awesome to be able to bring beginners in, but it's just wrong to keep everything at a baby beginner infantile stage forever. somebody needs to start acknowledging the people who have been using reason for 12 versions and stop pandering purely to the beginners, and start showing some respect to the people who have been using and promoting reason forever.

Dear Reason Studio, I've purchased Reason's version of [Auto- Tune] awhile back, and to be honest it sucks. I think I got ripped off because I paid over a hundred dollars for [Reason Version Of Auto-Tune] and it doesn't sound better than Reason's Neptune. Reason Studios suckered its users simply for Auto-Tunes namesake. Wow! Now I'm advocating for Reason users across the globe. We really appreciate the progress that Reason Studio has made here recently, but it's time to get on the ball. STOP THE BS GIVE US A WAY TO USE ANTARES AUTO-TUNE PLUG-INS FOR GOD SAKE!! Sincerely, A Loyal Customer

I don't know what to say, I'll be diving into another daw after 10 years, that actually support vst. Why is it so hard for you? Only player that has a contribution is the chord and it's not even that good.

nothing innovative. it's just pads. Guys it's 2022. There are plenty of alternatives on the market.

Just learn to play piano
