of some relevant for LAAGA/JACK's design. from a review in EM of "Reason": ------------------------------------------------------------ Reason is also enabled for ReWire, Propellerhead's protocol for communicating multichannel audio between software applications. ReWire lets you do things such as run Reason's audio outs directly into the inputs of a digital-audio sequencer. Reason also supports ReWire 2, a new protocol offering 256 audio channels (increased from 64); unidirectional MIDI communication of as many as 256, 16-channel devices; and automatic querying and linking for displaying the parameters belonging to slave devices by name. (As a special implementation of ReWire, Reason also includes a ReBirth Input Machine, which lets users of Propellerhead's popular ReBirth RB-338 software route 18 ReBirth channels to Reason with sample-accurate resolution.) ------------------------------------------------------------
