When Reason is in Rewire mode it should NOT allow you to connect directly with any USB or other audio interfaces. So, it’s doing what it is supposed to do.
Reason is the “Rewire Client”, and it is attached to Pro Tools which is the “Rewire Host”. Audio and Midi Stream back and forth between the Rewire Client and the Rewire Host.
In other words:
MIDI keyboard sending out MIDI notes—> Pro Tools Instrument Track —-> MIDI from Pro Tools goes to Reason via Rewire —-> Back fom Reason to Pro Tools Instrument track as Audio via Rewire —-> Out to your speakers/headphones
Here is a step by step tutorial including pictures for using Reason with Pro Tools..
