Will Reason Ever Allow VST Hosting in Rack Mode?

[DonnieAlan]

Ever since Reason introduced VST hosting in Reason standalone version, I, along with many, many others, have requested that Reason allow VST hosting in the Reason Rack when hosted inside another DAW. Here we are 4 versions later and still no joy in that regard and I simply don't understand why. It is extremely frustrating to not have it. I can see no technical reason for it, so what it is the reason for not doing it. I know I'm not alone in wanting this feature. I've seen many ask for it on several forums, and even in YouTube videos. We all love reason...but we NEED this feature!

It was enough of a challenge for them just to add internal VST hosting, and even then, it took three more upgrades to add VST3. I'm not a programmer, but I can imagine it's a challenge, and maybe impossible, to get the RRP to host third party plugins inside a master DAW that also hosts plugins (including Logic, which doesn't even read VST or VST3).

Why?

I've also wished we could do this. Mostly so we can build our own instruments and signal chains using the rack and our favourite VSTs. Example, in Logic if I wanna create a guitar tone that has multiple parts to it (say, attack, mid range and a bassy fuzz) it requires four channels. One for DI, and then three sends for parallel processing. Fifth channel to group it all together.

What I'd like is just one channel, with RRP effect on it, and then within that effect I can load my three amps up inside a combinator, split them how I want frequency wise, even build a panel for it all and save as a preset I can recall later.
