Reason has racks and cables, if that's your thing.
Personnally, I like Reason's synths, but I don't find connectiong virtual cables on a screen super intuitive, or practical. After a while it's difficult to see what goes where.
Reaper is much less "sexy" but much clearer, IMHO.
- Blackthorn 4y agoWith connected cables, you can see at a glance what feeds into what. I can't imagine anyone being able to do the same with reaper's in/out pin matrix.
- bambax 4y agoHere's a patch for "Complex-1", an attempt by Reason to do a modular synth: https://cdm.link/app/uploads/2018/12/cables.png https://cdm.link/app/uploads/2018/12/cables.png Given the nature of that synth, there may not be a better way to do this, but it's still far from clear what does what at a glance, or even after staring at it for a while.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoThe old EMS hardware synths (and it bigger cousins) that used a pin matrix were often said to be much easier to grok than systems with cables.
- Blackthorn 4y agoOn that note there's a modern hardware synth that uses a pin matrix still -- Eaganmatrix (used in the Continuum and the Osmose). IDK, some people say it's really hard to understand, but I think the pin matrix they use actually works really well.
