I guess the reason for a lack of MIDI preview is that we’d have to create the device first, tell Reason what port to address, and then hope that the key assignments match what we have set up. I’ll admit to never having tried EXPORT of SMFs, although I’ve done several imports which always create ID8 devices and that’s annoying as hell when you really want each separate channel to play a different synth and channel 10 to play your own drum sounds. During live performance with multiple instruments each with a dedicated port I get what almost sounds like swing applied to the MIDI output, although audio seems to record OK (with the usual variable delay the MIDI imposes and which must be truncated down, why I always record that last note a little longer!). I also feel that Reason handled MIDI timing better in version 1/1.01/2/2.5 than it does now.

Reason on the other hand began life as what I see as an instrument platform, where MIDI was its input model. Nuendo handles MIDI better in almost every aspect, but remember that Cubase (Nuendo is the video/surround version of Cubase) has been around since at least the later 80’s when I was a kid on my dad’s Atari ST and Akai sampler.years and years of refinement, and because it started out as a MIDI sequencer alone it had a very strong foundation to build upon. Very useful especially for drum patterns (I have purchased many of them from 3rd party, like Groove Monkee, and it is not practical to drag and drop each one to the tracks just to review! This problem also exists in some other DAWs like Ableton Live although you can review the file but it just plays one noisy sound! while Reaper and Studio One can review the midi files according to the tracks chosen).ġ00% agreed. Not only that, but it has the option to listen to the original midi file tempo or the host tempo.

The best DAW that can handle this is Cubase as it can review the midi file by choosing the track from a down arrow list. I wish there is a 'review' for midi files in the browser.
