Only 1% are VST’s and those are simply utilities (such as Youlean Loudness Meter), never instruments or effects. Part of the reason I’m getting such good performance is because 99% of everything I use in Reason are stock or rack extension devices. This means when Reason Studios finally updates Reason to run natively (as a “universal app”), the performance will be even greater. Reason is running in translation under Rosetta 2. But what’s even better is the fact that, at the time of writing this, Reason 11 Suite isn’t even written for Apple silicon (ARM). The performance it has with Reason is so good.
REASON FOR MAC PRO
The performance of the M1 chip inside the MacBook Pro is amazing. My Sony MDR7506 headphones use a large headphone connector so it works perfectly having the right side free. I chose the left side because the headphone jack of the MacBook Pro M1 is on the right side. This allows me to place the iPad Pro and Launchpad X flush up against the left side of the MacBook Pro. I use a USB-C to USB-C cable that has a right angle connector on one end. The Launchpad X is the perfect size to my 11” iPad Pro making them almost identical to the MacBook Pro M1. I’m able to carry all three with one hand. Because of the silicon material of the iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard (which covers both sides of the iPad Pro) and the rubber padding of the Launchpad X, all three devices can be stacked in any order without fear of scratching each other.
All three are able to lie on one another.
REASON FOR MAC PORTABLE
The fact that everything is portable and lightweight is amazing. Portability of MacBook Pro M1, iPad Pro and Launchpad X And I can space them out MacBook Pro M1 on my lap while in bed with Launchpad X on the bed next to me with the iPad Pro sitting on a bedside table. And it’s modular I can use the MacBook Pro M1 with the Launchpad X with no iPad Pro or with the iPad Pro but no Launchpad X. I didn’t find anything, especially nothing as elegant as this setup. I came up with this set up I wanted to see if anyone else had done something similar. Thankfully Novation made the Launchpad X thin enough to do this. This makes it as if the two were designed together. I use the iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard to prop the iPad up as it floats the iPad above the Launchpad X. I use my iPad Pro as a wireless second display using macOS’s Sidecar feature. It’s based around an Apple MacBook Pro M1, Apple iPad Pro 11”, Apple 11” Magic Keyboard and Novation Launchpad X. Freak am I lovin’ this mobile setup I’ve created for Reason (Reason Studios).
