Reason is a great set of tools when used in Rewire mode for those who don't mind running two separate software together. Don't know about the recent versions, but back in the days of Reason 4/5, the mix quality was just awful when used as a stand alone, something to do about summing if I recall. Given a choice between FL and Reason however, FL clearly comes ahead if only because you can load up quality VSTs in it. Reason's racks are fun, but some of them sound very 1st-gen VA by today's standards.

Well the story is cool, and you got yourself a new camera. But damn is that video boring.

I compose when I'm...

a) inspired, in which case coherent music splurts out of me in big gooey lumps
b) uninspired and bored, in which case I end up with a 4 pattern generic piece of crap I'll never touch again
c) drunk, in which case I make the best fucking song in the world, and the next day when I'm sober I realize it's awful
d) jacked up on caffeine, in which case I just end up loading old projects and adding insane amounts of barely audible details everywhere

And these moments happen, respectively....

a) when I should be doing something more important with my life but can't...cause... inspired.... must compose!@#$%^&
b) when I have boring life stuff to do and I'm trying to escape it, justifying my apathy with the fact I could be productive and make music.
c) any given time, it's kind of sad that way
d) any given time alcohol is not within arm's reach

It's actually kind of the other way around, ish, kinda. Most countries use either CDEFGABC or Do Ré Mi Fa Sol La Si Do. Only a handful of countries use the B/H difference. From what I understand from a few German friends, it's supposed to make more sense since the B triads rarely make any sense in a C scale unless you twist them around and break scale.

Wiki had that to say about it:

In parts of Europe, including Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Norway and Finland, the natural symbol transformed into the letter H (possibly for hart, German for hard): in German music notation, H is B♮ (B-natural) and B is B♭ (B-flat). Occasionally, music written in German for international use will use H for B-natural and Bb for B-flat (with a modern-script lowercase b instead of a flat sign). Since a Bes or B♭ in Northern Europe (i.e. a B elsewhere) is both rare and unorthodox (more likely to be expressed as Heses), it is generally clear what this notation means.

I've tried compiling it for the PI. The problem is that the code is a total mess. You need to compile 87 projects back to back to make it happen, and all of those need to be edited for work on the PI. I've even tried to pay a programmer friend of mine to clean the mess up, he took one long look at it, laughed, and said nope.

You should all do like I do. Write bug/suggestions reports knowing they'll be mostly ignored, and then deal with whatever the hell gets released and work around the limitations. In a way, it's his software, he supports it however he wants so we have nothing to complain about really. But to me, Klystack feels like watching the world's fastest race dog chained to a post and malnourished. Wasted potential and no love.

As for FM. I personally see no need for it because there's already tons of softwares out there that do it very well. What's lacking most for me is a couple of options in the synth engine like noise pitch independant from the instrument's pitch, fine tuning, some more shapes in the wave editor single-cycle generator and reorganizing the screens into something that doesn't feel like every new option is tacked on 'where there's place for it'. And a 'live' screen where you can mute/unmute and loop/unloop on the fly, and in sync with the tempo.

I'm just kidding

But if you have all the parts to make a complete and functional C64, why not do it?
