How do I rewire MPC Studio with Reason???

Ok, I've been online all week trying to figure this out and still can't so if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.

I have Reason 8 and mpc studio and want to be able to run the mpc software through reason like a rewire.

For example:
When I hit record on mpc it also activates record in reason
When I change the bpm in mpc software it automatically changes bpm in reason.

That way when I play or record everything in the mpc software it also plays and records in reason.

Please don't get my question confused with wanting to use it as a controller for reason. I know how to do this but I like chopping up my samples in mpc software vs reason but at the same time I like laying tracks down live and would prefer to be able to play and record them with other tracks and patterns that I create in reason that are just not as good or possible in mpc software.

I also do my mixing and editing in reason so I want to record directly into reason and if I can do this I also don't have to use my mpc as a controller because I can use everything within the software to do this and just record it into reason.

I have watched a lot of videos and read a lot of forums but I only found one video of a so called VST that can rewire mpc software with reason but it doesn't look legit, has no sound, and the persons computer in the video is set in a different language so I can't even tell how they do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I did that video and is completely legit. I am spanish that is the other language. I on the other hand sugest you to do it this other way.

Anyway, as what I understand from your post you don't Want to rewire reason into the mpc software, but record mpc software in reason and that is a whole other thing. When I get to my computer I'll make a video on that if I find a way to do it.

Fantastic! Thanks! Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated.

What also makes it slightly difficult to understand as well is that I use a PC not OSX. Does the VST come with supporting documentation for set up?

Ok, so i downloaded the vst and it works great! The only problem is that it does exactly what i want it to do but backwards. All it does is basically allow me to use the mpc as a controller for reason inside the mpc software. The concept is good but why would anyone want to use the mpc software as a place to record reason sounds when u can just map the midi and use it within reason?
What i want to be able to do is chop my samples in the mpc software (reason sucks for that) and lay them down into a reason track while both midi clocks sync controlling both.

Without this as a solution it almost makes the mpc studio/ren useless. I couldve kept it oldschool and just chopped my samples in recycle and imported into reason and used my keyboard controller to lay them down but i like the idea of building the beat around the sample and sometimes the other way around.
I could have saved myself a lot of money, time and frustration.

I really like the mpc software for bpm match, timestretch, pitch shift and editing versus anything that reason has to offer, so if anyone out there figured this out or has a workaround PLEASE let me know.

I dont think im alone on this one. Please let me know as soon as someone figures this out. Thanks!

What I usually do is, chop my sample and lay a drum beat in the MPC software, make a couple of sequences and export each sequence into Reason. Now each sequence for the MPC software gets its own block in Reason. After that, I then sequence the blocks in Reason and add my extra instruments and mix to my liking. A little work but hasn't let me down. Make sure to use the same tempo.

Appreciate the feedback! I have gotten one step closer by having the midi clock from reason to sync with mpc software so i can set everything up the way i want in mpc and record it in mpc software while reason midi clock controls mpc software. I then do what u suggested by exporting track as wave and importing to reason audio track. Now if i can avoid that by recording track directly into reason i will have a better workflow and cut time and possible quality loss. Thanks again!

I provided the link to video that help me set up the midi clock sync just in case anyone else needs it.
