You can't export MIDI from Reason. You can export audio, but that's not Rewire's funciton.

The idea with Rewire is that you get signal from Reason into protools, which you can further process with plugin effects, or use together with virtual instruments, external gear.

If you already have a song made in Reason but you want to keep working on its arrangement and maybe add some things with protools plugins, then you will be doing all your MIDI editing within Reason. If you want all your midi in Protools, then you're going to have to replay all the notes from Reason on a MIDI track in protools, and route that to an Aux track with Rewire going to your preferred instrument in Reason.

If you want, you can record all the separate instruments from Reason into separate tracks in Protools as audio through rewire, but then editing becomes difficult. I like to keep everything that I recorded in Reason, in reason (midi), until the time comes to record everything down to audio.

Don't know if I answered your question right but I gave it a try
I think you did answer my question, but can you record those separate tracks ALL AT ONCE from Reason to Pro Tools? Or do I have to do it one at a time? I thought I tried doing it before and thought I could only do 1 at a time...
