Anyone know how I achieve this in Studio one?

Basically the first 1min 50 secs explains things.

Cheers

What exactly are you wanting to do? That video doesn't really tell me specifically what you want.

If you have a track with the Reason Rack loaded along with scales and chords player or arpeggio then on your VSTi track change input (F4 to open inspector) to Reason Rack Plugin. Arm the Reason Rack Plugin track as well as your VSTi track. It will record the single note press on the RRP track and record the Full Chords on the VSTi track if you are using scales and chords for example.

This is how I do it, might not be the best way but it works.

Reason rack:
Start with an empty S1 project.
Drag Reason Rack onto track 1.
Within Reason Rack, drag your player of choice into the rack. Reason automatically adds a MIDI Out device to the rack so anything that comes out of the player is sent to the host DAW, just like any VST that generates MIDI.

To play a VST instrument with it:
Add the target instrument to track 2.
In the inspector window set the input to be Reason Rack Plugin
Now select track 1, the one with Reason Rack
And now the trick that is not obvious. Turn on monitoring for track 2. It's the 4th button in the row that goes Mute, Solo, Record, Monitor and it should be lit up blue for you to hear anything when it is not the active track. Whenever you click away from an active track S1 turns monitoring off so you need to turn it back on again.
If you want to record it then arm track 2 rather than monitoring it.
And you're done!
