"Reason has a rack for that"

Reason 7 is finally here. I guess some of the new features are too obvious and simple to understand why they are so great. Channel bus/groups, parallel channels ad-infinitum, Spectral EQ controlling the good "old" channel EQ, audio auto/manual slicing and quantizing, the list goes on... there's even a bonus Instragram-like audio "toy" that... is no toy at all when in the proper hands ;) But the thing that many were also waiting for years was Reason ability to output MIDI from the sequencer in a proper, easy to configure, easy to use and easy to understand way. External MIDI Instrument Reason 7 finally brings us the "little" External MIDI Instrument rack device (EMI for short). Obvious use? Play your hardware synths :) ...old, new, vintage, digital, analog, mono, poly, big or small MIDI controlled audio generating gadgets, your OP-1's, your... iPad synth apps... even your 2nd laptop running any MIDI playable music app ;) Not
