Well this is interesting. I was looking at AIR Instruments Transfuser VST in Reason. I noticed that some of the important controls and inputs for it are not showing up on the VST screen in Reason.

Here's Transfuser as it SHOULD be loaded into Pro Tools:

And here is how it appears when loaded as VST hosted in Reason:

As you can see the bottom 1/3 of the Transfuser screen is white space in Reason, prohibiting access to important features of the VI. So far, I've only noticed this issue with Transfuser, but I'm thinking there be others out there with similar issue, where Reason is not "seeing" the whole VST, or somehow prohibiting the VST from fully showing on the screen. I've never encountered this type of issue before when hosting VSTs in anything, so I'm not only sharing here, in case others experience similar issues, but also sending a bug report to the Props!

Before anyone asks, yes, I tried everything I could think of to see if the bottom portion of Transfusion could be accessed...no joy. Without it, there's not much you can do with Transfuser in Reason other than just playing sequences and loops. But it does SOOOO much more.

No. I've used it as a hosted VST in other DAWS (ie Reaper) and its just fine. It something with the way Reason hosts the VSTs...but I don't know what. I sent it on to the P-heads, so I'll see what they say.

I take it you have restarted Reason, also are you sure you installed it into your VSTPlugins folder?

It's OK now, I have re-enabled the plugin in Reason. Due to an iLok problem, the plugin failed to load into Reason and then Reason disabled it.

It is a real pity , i really can't understand why it is impossible to enjoy all the transfusion functions in Reason.I love reason but time to time i encounter problems that other DAWs never have . It is a big disappointment
