except that it's not coming, they aren't working on it, it would be an absolute support and host nightmare. the reason that reason's works is because it is a closed system. RE developers only are supplying the dsp code and gui. propellerheads works out all the engine stuff under the hood. You would be asking VST developers to reinvent the wheel, along with companies that program the hosts, just so their products will work with their competitors. not likely. VST's NOW have the ability to host other VST's but how many of them do, even though they are free to do so? not very damn many.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm not a programmer (only for CAD).
So you think there is not a slim chance for this to happen without Re?

could see another company maybe developing another closed system to accomplish the same thing (NI maybe, their products are starting to look like their aiming for a "rack" sort of paradigm), but no, I don't see anyone putting in the work o develop an open standard of interoperable parameters for VST's

Sometimes i think some of you disappear way too far in the abstract atmosphere ..

aw c'mon, 99.9% of the content of this forum is random speculation. it's why we're here, facts are hard to find, and jealously guarded by those that have them. random speculation is freely given and abundant!

Fun though patching is, I'm struggling to think of a time when I used the patching in Reason to do anything which I couldn't have done without patching in Ableton... (bear in mind I am a musician, not a sound designer though).
For example, free routing, setting up multi-device-chains, using MIDI effects, etc in Live does the stuff I need without flipping a rack. I guess if you are a boffin that likes the old-skool electronics thing, it's all useful though
I guess this illustrates how we have different needs and uses for stuff.
Wanting that sort of patching in a VST host seems to me as pointless as wanting a Session View, clip launch features, etc in Reason. Even if they decided to add that stuff it would be way behind the curve set by Ableton, Buttwig, etc. In the end it nice that these programmes have their own unique flavour, and that's certainly why I love Reason.

totally agreed. reason's patching is fun and can stimulate the creative process, much like reason's devices. there seems to be a little bit of a disconnect in equating all these programs. As much as we would all want the uber-DAW, it is probably better to use different tools for different jobs.

I own reason, but only live lite so im probably a bit biased to reason. Though the host im using 99% is EnergyXT.
Yes, we are all different
Maybe i feel Reason routing to be robust. In xt the modular view can sometimes be a bit hard to grasp when you have several things. You move the modules around trying to get a good overview. Maybe it will be better in the next version
