(Logic 10 and other DAWs)

Is there a Reason Rack Extension?

We didn't create a Finisher RETRO Rack Extension. Please make sure to use the VST format if you're a user of Reason Studios.

 

How can I assign the plug-in to my MIDI controllers?

• All DAWs handle MIDI controllers for effects differently and there is no MIDI Learn functionality in most of them. The good news is that RETRO fully supports MIDI control. All you need to do is lookup for your DAW how it handles MIDI controller assignments.
• Here's an example to show you how it looks in Logic Pro X:
  
  
   

Are there any known issues?

• Session restore does not work properly in Reason 11. Please bear in mind to always save your settings as a preset before closing the project. We're working on a fix for this.
• Removing a track with Finisher RETRO in Reason might cause the Host to crash under certain circumstances.
• Sometimes the GUI doesn't properly reflect automated Parameters.
• Removing several Instances of Finisher RETRO in Pro Tools might cause the Host to crash.
• Switching Modes/Presets will result in audible artefacts, in particular when switching to Nigel Sustainer
