Rewire With Pro-tools Le?, Does it work with VST? Options

[rosiedog]

Hi. I just wanted to make sure of a few things before I buy the Digidesign Mbox.
Will I be able to hook my Microkorg digi/analogue sound module mini keyboard to the audio in on the Mbox for audio recording, and at the same time connect it to a seperate midi interface to use as a midi controller devise with Reason 2.5? I would just want to simultaneously go back and forth between using the microkorg for recording audio then using it as a midi controller without disconnecting and re-connecting wires.

Also, will propellerhead's Rewire enable me to use Reason and Ableton Live with Protools LE? Will it allow me to use other VST programs with Protools LE?
I really want to keep my set up as simple and easy as possible for doing techno based home recording, and production on my ibook 800MhZ(640 mb ram) in the bedroom studio. Eventually I might just add a sampler module or a drum sequencer module(electribe/ akai mpc1000) to the set up, but not nessessarilly.

Thanks for any replies on this post.

I use ProTools LE and Reason via ReWire...it's my lifeline. However, I'm not doing electronica, so I can't speak to some of the finer details of the style (I do mostly rock stuff...and use the Reason bits to add drums and strings, etc. Gives it a different flavor that people seem to enjoy so far. It's a great way to demo stuff without a band, too.)

While you can't add the VST plug-ins to the ReWire channel, there are so many effects built into Reason that I don't ever find myself feeling like I'm missing out.

I'm still fairly new to ProTools, but I'm sold for life. I have a good friend that does electronica, and he uses the whole shabang...MOTU, Reason, ProTools, Cubase, etc. You can do different things with different tools...not to confuse you more, but that's the truth.

I'd back recommendation for the ProTools/Reason setup though.
