i have been using Reason 3 as a sound module for a while now, and it got me curious. Is anybody using Reason's DR REX loop player in conjunction with the 4k?

it would save a step for me (either importing the audio files and midi data into the 4k or tracking the beat into PT and using DR Rex after the fact).

There shouldn't be any problem with using with Dr Rex... are you having a specific issue? Is Reason, not syncing up
to your 4k?
Never used it in conjunction with Dr Rex.. but I can say taking your .rex files and using Recycle to move them all
over to the MPC and they work like a charm...

yeah, Reason is not syncing up with 4k.

it would be nice to be able to cycle through the loops, and be in sync with the MPC. i can use the individual sections of the loop on the pads, but the whole loop doesn't ever sync up.

not a huge issue i know...

You'll need to go into the Misc --> F2 Sync and set up the MPC to send Midi Clock out.
Then go into Reason's preferences and set it as Slave and listening for Midi Clock.
