Bug fixes

  • New version of Monotone that fixes a bug where using Send to Track on a Player could cause a hung note

  • New version of Mimic that fixes a bug where very short slices could play back more than single slice in Slice Mode

  • Fixed an issue where Reason Rack Plugin could crash when loading a document in Bitwig

  • Fixed a bug where the VST screenshot feature would not functioning properly when using two monitors

  • Fixed a bug where the buttons were sometimes not accessible in save dialogs without resizing the window (macOS only)

  • Fixed a bug where users couldn’t write to external exFAT disk (macOS Ventura only)

 

IMPORTANT:

Reason 12.5 saves Reason songs and Combi patches in an updated format - if the new Combinator widgets have been used. Attempting to open such songs/Combi patches in an older version than Reason 12.2.3 results in an error message that the song/Combi patch cannot be opened because it’s too new.
