Got no problem with that.

Mpc side:
1- Go to main page/Sync and turn it "on"
2- Stay there and push the orange "window" button
3- Go to "Sync out" and turn the midi clock "on"
4- Stay there and select the midi channel that leads to your pc.

Reason side
1- Go to Edit/preferences/Midi page
2- Choose the port that enters the Pc and keep the Channel 1
3) Go to advanced Midi page and enter the same port for these:
Bus A/remote control/ Midi clock sync

Now open the default song in Reason and push on the "play" button of the Mpc, play with the jog,change the tempo....
If it doesn't work, check your Midi cables and/or assignement.

I hope it helped.
