Is Reason 32 midi channel capable? If so, then yes.

No idea whether Reason can handle 32 MIDI channels.

But you will need an additional MIDI input on your computer, either a different MIDI interface with more inputs, or an additional MIDI interface with at least one more MIDI input.

Some MIDI keyboards and pad controllers, which connect to the computer via USB, can use their MIDI input and output ports as a MIDI interface for the computer, which might be an option if you have one like that.

thanks man ill try some things out i looked at my midi interface and it does have a exra midi in on the back but i dont know if its like a straight through port and im not too educated on it ive heard of daisy chaining and stuff but dont know what it is. maybe if i start my project up with the other midi cable in it will work because i put it in when i had it all loaded last time it may need resetting first thanks for the replys

If Reason doesn't support 32 then a second cable for 17-32 won't matter, it just isn't there.

First and foremost, how many midi channels does Reason support?

2nd, do you have a physical interface that has MIDI 1 and MIDI 2?
