Scott, I do everything in Finale with a midi keyboard, but I have a guitar controller and use an earlier Roland module. The guitar controller works fine with my sequencer and other hardware synths. Since midi data is a universal standard, once the data is formatted and transmitted down a midi cable, I would think that whatever receives and uses that data would be agnostic about its origin, including Reason and Finale. I could try it with Finale tonight and let you know how it works, if you like.
