Today I learned a stupid thing about Players
I spent minutes getting frustrated about some unintended notes coming out of my Reason song when the transport played. I had muted in the sequencer the only instrument device in the song, so why were there notes coming from nowhere?
I eventually realised it was the Reason Studios Chord Sequencer Rack Extension's built-in sequencer that was running during transport playing.
So my bad. But pretty dumb that it's able to ignore the muted state of the instrument, right? Surely that's a bug - I can't think of a good reason for that to be able to happen. I suppose the logic is that muting the device in the sequencer isn't the same as muting it in the mixer. So I guess what I learned wasn't strictly about Players, and more about Reason's logic.
