Hey Dawg...Im not really sure about this but i think u will need a sound card that will allow you to synk reason and the mpc with midi. Theres a video made by Sparq that shows you how u could do this.Take a look...Its real helpfull. Its on one of the Sticky subjects.

Before you go out to buy anything...check the video first...I think its under the topic 2.1 videos....by Sparq...Trust me its worth watchin...and it will help you understand what you need.
Good luck dawg

there is nothing stopping u from just connecting the audio out from your pc to the recording inputs of the mpc...

record away.

But actually, what Lord T told you works just as well, no hook ups involved. I never thought of that.

Toranaga is trying to save your life man, listen to that.

Do you do any sequencing in Reason at all, or do you just play the keyboard?

Cuz think about this: say you set up a click track in reason, then sequence the synth line loop (4 bars or whatever) in reason. as long as it's set to the same tempo as your MPC sequence, you can export that synth line from reason as a .wav file to your desktop. once it's there, just drag it onto your MPC via USB. you won't even need to trim it or anything once its on the MPC; it's a perfectly cut loop already. no signal quality loss, no external hardware, just pure chewing satisfaction.
