Hey Roy, I no longer have them, though they'd prob not work with 6, they
were create back on reason2.5.
I did use sighted assistance to do cable routing, I started doing an hsc
project for dragging and dropping etc, but since I dropped reason, the
project went with it. Sorry.
Let me know how you fair with Reason6 though. What OS/platform are you on?
Regards, D!J!X!

hi DJX
am now working with Reason 6 , also trying out ways of rewiring things.
have you still got these templates?
did you use sighted assistance when creating them?
thanks a bunch
Roy.
