REASON 4 - finally some new info!

While Pro Tools supports ReWire and not VST, I'm pretty sure the Props will remain content with their current position.

If this ever happened, I'd generally be using one instrument (meaning one Combi patch) per Reason instance.

With respect, I think this is the flaw in your position. Used in the way that YOU want, I think Reason as a VST *might* be viable. Fact is though, people would want to do so much more. And the Props would have to consider EVERY angle, not just how you would use it

I think the biggest problem would be that as a VST Reason would have no transport controls of its own, and no sequencer capacity. So potentially a single lane in the sequencing host would have to control/automate up to dozens of devices. I think this would need a significant amount of genius to work even as a concept, let alone in practice.

NEWS UPDATE -- You can in fact take part in the version 4 beta without uninstalling Reason 3. It's preferred to uninstall the old version for neatness' sake, but the two can coexist. This comes from an official Props source who said it was okay to post this information.

Thanks for that info.

I can confirm that I am now running the Reason 4 beta alongside Reason 3 without (so far) any obvious conflict between the two, other than that Ableton got mildly confused when I opened my template (which has Reason hardwired into one of the tracks as a rewire slave).
