yeah you can use reason as a sound module with the MPC, but you really can't sequence reason from your MPC or vice versa because reason does't send midi out. So really would set up reason to play when you press play on your MPC, but you have to set the tempos the same and do a few other things manually that normally midi would take care of. If I were you I would get a cheap roland sound moudle, and a midi keyboard and a mixer to save you trouble in the long run

A sound moudle is having a keyboard with all the sounds without the keyboard. With a midi keyboard, you just trigger the sounds out of the module with the coresponding keys
