I don't think anyone will ever have any kind of trouble using the Virus as a midi controller and as a standard hardware controller, using midi. The Midi out (and in? or just out?) protocol in Reason 7 strikes me as similar to any other offering on the market these days (and a great update to Reason's abilities, making it a more mature product of course). I've seen it (version 7) at a friend's house, he's got a yamaha workstation that performs as expected. But on such a host, you couldn't really expect to have "Virus Control" there unless Access decides to make a Rack Extension version of their plug-in that is, so you'll be using the Virus the same way I use my Virus C - but with the extra features on the sound engine.
