Anyone using Reason ReWired with Mainstage?

[Maddcow]

Hi all. I'm a sax and wind controller player and have been using MainStage for ages now but am also interested in Reason as a ReWire slave. Has anyone used Reason as a ReWire slave with MainStage (for wind controller use, of course) and if so, what have been your experiences in terms of system resource usage, patch change ability etc?

Cheers
Gary

I was using Reason 5 in rewire with mainstage till last year.
It was working perfectly and with a really few CPU resource required.

I was having patches combined between Exs24-Es2 and reason without any problem.

Very good combination.

SAME report from here:
Reason rewired into MS works wonderfully.
I did however get to a point where my Reason projects were so deep and complex, that I had to scale down considerably.
It seems like there is always a better way to do it as far as your CPU resources are concerned.
Any program running inside another program is going to hog that power!

I use Reason within Mainstage for a couple of patches that require the use of an arpeggiator. Haven't had any issues at all, works wonderfully.
