I used to layer synths a lot but reason only seems to let me send midi to only one output at the time.
Is there a way to play the keyboard, and send midi to multiple midi outs at once?

Did you try putting multiple EMI's in a combinator?

Or indeed midi through, and make multiple hardware synths respond to the same midi channel. Sending data out multiple midi out's from within Reason requires multiple EMI's though.

Just midi, i found the combinator to be the best option.
Now i can do some easy layering with my slightly outdated virus TI :)
