When I first saw Reason, I was blown away by the wiring in the back, and all the great tools, especially the integrated sequencers.
Then two things happened. First, I downloaded the demo of Reason and was really unimpressed with the sound. I guess there must always be Number of Voices VS. Sound Quality trade off. Second, I finally got the Modular2.
Wow - now this is more like it! The sound is much better than Reason (but I'm still not finding a filter inside Mod2 which could be classified as "awesome" -- are there any 3rd party filters for Mod2 yet?), and the flexibility in setting up your own sequencers via color-coded patch cords is unmatched by anything else I've seen yet.
Of course, you can run Reason on a laptop on the plane, but <b>so far</b> it's complicated/tricky/impossible to have a Creamware DSP board on your laptop. Those Magma PCI expander things don't seem to offer enough PCI bandwidth.
Any Reason users who've had more time with the program care to comment on pros/cons vs Mod2...?
