Midi and Sound combined just like VSTs. That would kick some but.
It would be pretty cool feature for Live also, be able to combine a rewire-midi thing and a return audio.

Just tried out the "External Instrument". This is the best feature in Live7.

It's not. Thor's good sounding, but I definitely wouldn't call it the best sounding synth that I have.

Some things are very good, though- the formant filter's wonderful.

sounds interesting indeed.

It is an interesting synth; no doubt about it.

how would I go about setting it up so that I could play some keys in reason but use the ableton midi fx on them?

Put the MIDI FX on the MIDI track going to the device in Reason you want to use them on. Every Reason instrument and effect can be a destination for a MIDI track.

does this mean that I'm reacording the midi in Live and only using reason as a soundmodule or am i recording the midi in reason with this scenario?
thank both of you

You're using Reason as a sound module. The record button in Reason doesn't work when it's a ReWire slave.

as a $119 upgrade is Reason 4 worth it just to get Thor?
