You can browse instruments/samples within certain modules by your controller once you set it to point to sounds in a specific location/folder. You can't launch instruments though. LOL..some of you guys want things too damn easy! Get the donut out of your hand and click the mouse man...it burns calories!
I don't even think its a thing of wanting something to easy or laziness...its more of trying to get the most of out of what you have, and making it as convenient as you possibly can....laziness would be "omg i have to touch the mouse i cant make a beat *shuts down reason*".....which isn't even a factor as far as im concerned... i was making beats in reason with a just a mouse when i first got it,...but if you have a keyboard with a billion buttons and knobs, why not want to have it be like your working with full on hardware???
,,, its not like i'm saying "damn i cant type my file names with my midi controller" but launching a device how is that a huge want...tell me that shit wouldn't be tight.... have a button dedicated to each device...or like i stated earlier "create an instrument" because unless its a redrum in my experience im just going through sounds to see whats dope regardless of what device its in.
And i like i said propellarhead is on that "we make hardware obsolete" which is true for me...cause i copped an mp after using reason thinking it would be better for me, and the shit just a big paperweight now...but again why not make shit fully mappable for your users.....allow them to get busy how they want to get busy without touching a mouse if thats what they want.
im a reason head to the death (unless something comes out and is just that much better) but the bottom line is
the shit aint perfect just like any piece of gear...and all im trying to do optomize it to fit MY needs
