I have a Mac and I am unable to view this video, I can use my MPC with Reason as the Sound module? Does the tracks record onto the MPC or am I using the MPC to control reason? I dont get it, Sorry for sounding stupid but I dont have a PC I cant view the video, do I sync the MPC with reason using the tutorial on AKaipro.com? and then how do I set up the tracks so that I can use my MPK49 to play the NN-XT?

I play with mpc, mainly drums, and friend plays Reason with keyboard. We have MPC1000 with JJOS1 and on the computer rewired Cubase & Reason 4. We managed to sync mpc's and computer's sequences - mpc as master and vice versa too - but for some reason tracks in Cubase doesn't loop. Wonder why? If somebody uses mpc and Reason or Cubase to sequence simultaneously, please post your setup and settings.

"If you wish to integrate the 4000 sequencer and the reason sequencer so you can program in both enable MIDI clock out on your 4000 and in, in the REASON's Advanced MIDI preferences menue."
We used only one way sync, could that be problem?

i don't know if anyone would actually lookat this thread and be of any assistance , but its worth a shot...so after numerous hours of research and trial and error, i did finally end up getting my reason to be slaved to my mpc 2xl..here are my connections and how i got it to work: props to sparq the video was good, but for the people that don't know this you will need to have it set up like this:
from your midi controller : usb out to usb in computer (to audition sounds stand alone w/ out mpc ) midi out on midi controller (keyboard) to midi in 1 on mpc 2xl
mpc 2xl : midi out to midi in on soundcard interface and midi out on soundcard interface to midi in on mpc (midi in 2 for me since midi in 1 is taken up by midi controller keyvoard )

so heres my problem...i get everything working and i got reason setup in preferences to use my interfaces midi . so everything is working fine, but after the first loop of hearing what i recorded, the keyboard will sustain a note (as if the midi signal went bad) and my mpc will play back what i just recorded for the first loop, but after the first loop it sounds like a different key from what i played is being sustained and it doesn't stop playing (as if i held the key down the whole time) until i mouse over to the stop buttom on reason, but in result will start up again... does anyone know what i can do to fix this ? i know i have my configuration configured, its' just this one thing thats holding me back from being able to slave reason, audition and use my midi controller to record notes on mpc, and be able to do all sequencing through the mpc 2xl... can someone help me on this one, i know theres got to be something i'm doin wrong or might've overlooked...anyone been in the same position i'm faced with now? to the more educated : I need your assistance please respond or pm me thanks in advance
