    Hi everybody,

    If I want to use a Reason instrument in Rewire slave mode, I create a
    MIDI track and route its output to the appropriate Reason device.
    However, when I later reopen this project, then start Reason, then load
    the Reason file, Cubase 5 lists all the Reason instruments as "Not
    Connected", and so I have to manually reassign tracks to instruments. In
    earlier versions, Cubase remembered which Reason instrument was assigned
    to each track. Manually reassigning tracks is annoying and can lead to
    errors.

    I know the Cubase program must be started before the Reason program; but
    is there any specific order in which the Cubase project and the Reason
    song file should be opened, in order to have Cubase remember what goes
    where?

    A more fundamental question: am I right in believing that, when you have
    multiple Reason files open, the instruments available in Cubase are
    those of the last Reason file that had focus? (Which would be pretty
    kludgy in any case.) I.e. there is no way (that I know) to point Cubase
    at one specific Reason file, out of the ones that are currently open.

    But I may be mistaken. Advice will be appreciated.

    Jos.

    Answering myself, in case anybody is paying attention: it might just be
    that the following order helps:

    start Cubase
    start Reason
    open Reason song file
    open Cubase project

    Correction: the proper sequence is:

    start Cubase
    start Reason (opens default song file)
    open desired Reason song file
    close default song
    bring other Reason window to the front
    open Cubase project
