One thing though: Even though you can bring back 64 audio signals from Reason via rewire, rewire only supports 16 midi tracks, so you'll have to use Reasons sequencer for some tracks if you want to use all those 64 (or 32 in stereo). This matters little to me most of the time though since I often get started with a tune in Reason since it works great for inspiration for me. Then when I have a solid foundation I rewire to another "real" host and add VSTs, external gear and voice, and let the Reason devices still be ran by the Reason sequencer.headquest wrote:
2) If you want to bring audio back from each instrument you need to scrap Reason's mixer and wire each Reason module directly into the Hardware Interface in Reason. This has 64 outputs. In Tracktion you select which output you want coming into each ReWire track. In effect this means that from within Tracktion you can run up to 32 stereo or 64 mono Reason devices, each with its own sequencing lane in Tracktion. And then you can add/automate VST effects and do all your mixing in Tracktion.
A very powerful combination!

All nice info here, but i still did not quite understand my issues...
Why do i get one instrument as channel 7 ?
So i cannot have a multitrack midi sequence in Tracktion being rewired to Reason, and monitored through reason LR bus withought having that bus being recieved as many times over as there are rewire tracks, and thus resulting in an overloaded signal.
the only way to do this is to have each of reasons instruments comming via a seperate bus back to Tracktion.
I would suppose the same would stand for FL also ?
what is a clear difination of the bug we are talking about here ?
thanks

It's really rather simple. Reason has 1 primary MIDI bus, in addition to 4 advanced MIDI busses, each with 16 channels of their own. That's a total of 5 busses accessible directly in Reason. Now, for each 16 devices you create, there will need to be a MIDI bus for Rewire communication, so every device gets one channel in a bus. Once you make >16 devices, you need a new bus, which will be #7. If you have 33 devices in Reason, you'll need an 8th bus, and so on. You'll run out of CPU way before you exhaust the number of busses that Rewire (and Reason) support.
If you want multiple MIDI sequences in Reason, just set the "output channels to use" to something unused on all but one Rewire filter. Or just kill the volume on all tracks aside from one. I wouldn't call it a bug at all.

that helps. thanks. 
Not a bug deffinately, just another aspect of Tracktion that I fail to understand. But it's ok...
