HELP!
I made a "cool" melody with Reason 3...
But then I did open it in Reason4, and I think I saved it in Reason 4.
And now I can't open it with Reason 3 anymore!

And there are NO Reason4 instruments used in this melody...

So how I can get it back to Reason3?

It opens well in Reason 4, but not in reason 3

Export MIDI --> Import MIDI

That's the only way?
I was hoping to get my whole song back to reason 3 format.
Since I had some synths in the song...

Or maybe I need to just save the sounds and re-create my track in Reason 3?

Why do you even want to do this, exactly?

I just don't like Reason 4...
At least not at the moment (I don't have time to learn all the new stuff in it, so I need to work with reason 3 since it is faster+easier for me).

if u combine all the instruments in a combinator, saves it as a patch, then export the midi, import midi again in reason3, add a combinator, load the patch (havent tryed it but should work, i dont think the patches are version-dependant). then u must "uncomine" it, add a sequencer track for all the instruments, and move the midi files to right tracks. this is alot easier if u name things good. tho its some work anyway if its a big track.

on a side note, anyone feels that reason 4 is slightly "brighter" ?

I haven't noticed that.

Ok... Thanks!
It's better than nothing

One thing about combining instruments in to Combinator:
I have loads of stuff that aren't in combinator. Do I need to just create combinator and re-create the instruments+effects in to combinator?

Or is there easier way (like Can I somehow get them in to combinator?)?

Select all the instruments that aren't already in a Combinator and then right click on one of them and press "Combine." Save that as a Combinator patch and then load that patch into Reason 3.

Combinator patches are version dependent.
I think you should move to Reason 4. It doesn't take that long to learn the new sequencer. Once you do, you'll notice that it's much more powerful. And it's much easier to do supersaw/hypersaw sounds in Reason 4, as Thor has the multi osc. I've seen you ask about those type of sounds in the past. You could even get the vengeance soundset for Thor. I think you'd like the patches it comes with.

i absolutely like reason 4, i have a few complains about the sequencer tho i dont work as fast as before. btw are u sure the combinator are version depentent? i think only if u use v4 instruments, like thor
