SYNCHRONIZATION

131

Slaving Reason to Another

Program on the Same

Computer

! The preferred method for synchronizing two applications is by using Re-

Wire, see page 123. However, if the application you need to sync Reason

with doesn’t support ReWire, you can try the procedures described be-

low.

This section describes how to use MIDI Clock to synchronize Reason to another ap-

plication running on the same computer.

! Note that synchronization via MIDI Clock makes the two programs play

at the same time, that is, they both “run” when you “hit play”. It does not

mean they can both play audio at the same time.

Proceed as follows:

1. Set up the other program, so that it transmits MIDI Clock to Reason:

Under Windows this is done by selecting one of the MIDI routing utility ports.

2. In Reason, open the Preferences - Advanced MIDI page.

3. Pull down the MIDI Clock pop-up and select the corresponding MIDI port.

4. Close the dialog.

5. Activate MIDI Clock Sync from the Options menu in Reason.

6. Activate playback on the other device.

Reason will start playing ‘in sync’ with it and the Sync LED on the Transport will

light up.

Synchronization

Considerations

Adjusting for Latency

Latency compensation.

Because of the latency problem described on page 18, you might need to adjust Rea-

son’s playback in relation to the sync master, so that they are in perfect time. The

tempo will not differ between the two, but Reason might play ahead or behind the

other application. You might need to adjust this. However, this is something you only

need to do once. The setting is stored with your other preferences, so you don’t need

to adjust it again.

Proceed as follows:

1. Set up the other application so that it generates a solid click, on for example

quarter or eighth notes, preferably with a special sound on the downbeat.

This click can either come from an internal metronome or from a MIDI source. If

you use a MIDI source, make sure you pick one that has solid MIDI timing.

2. Set up Reason so that it plays a similar rhythm as the other application.

You might for example use the Metronome or Redrum drum computer for this.

3. Start the two applications in sync.

4. Make sure you hear both applications at approximately equal level.

5. Open the Preferences dialog in Reason and select the Audio page.

6. Trim the “Latency compensation” setting until the “clicks” from the both

sources sound at exactly the same time.

7. Close the Preferences dialog in Reason.

If Latency Compensation isn’t enough

There might be situations where you can’t compensate enough in Reason to make

two software applications run in sync. This might especially be true if the other appli-

cation is an audio sequencer, that is if it can record and playback both audio and

MIDI.

This problem is an indication of the fact that the other application has not been set up

properly and that its audio playback is not in sync with its own MIDI playback.

! This is not something that you can or should compensate for in Reason.

Instead, follow the instruction included with the other application to

make sure its MIDI playback and audio playback are correctly locked to

each other.
