Hi everybody,

I often use Reason and Sibelius at the same time on my computer. The problem is that when these two programs are running, only one of them recognize my master keyboard.

In fact, if I open Sibelius first, I can use my master keyboard only on SIbelius and Reason tells me "your midi controller is already being used" or something like that and when I open Reason first, it is the contrary.

On my previous computer, I could use my master keyboard on the two programs simultaneously. For example, if I had a violin sound on Reason and a trumpet sound on SIbelius, I just had to click on Reason to get the violin sound while Sibelius was still in the toolbar and vice versa.

I've checked all the preferences/MIDI setup and still didn't find out how to use my master keyboard on Sibelius and Reason at the same time. If you guys have an idea, I'd be glad to hear it.

I hope I made myself clear despite my poor level of english.
Thanks for your help.

PS: I'm a Sibelius 4 user!
