SYNCHRONIZATION

ReWire users – Read

This!

This chapter does not apply to users of ReWire. If you are using Reason to-

gether with a ReWire compatible application, ReWire handles all synchroni-

zation issues for you, automatically. See the ReWire chapter for details.

What is Synchronization

and MIDI Clock?

Synchronization, in this context, is when you make Reason play at the same

tempo as another device; where both start, stop and can locate to certain po-

sitions, together. This is done by transmitting MIDI Clock signals between

Reason and the other device. MIDI Clock is a very fast “metronome” that can

be transmitted in a MIDI cable. As part of the MIDI Clock concept there are

also instructions for Start, Stop and locating to sixteenth note positions.

You can set up synchronization between Reason and hardware devices

(tape recorders, drum machines, stand alone sequencers, workstations etc.)

and other computer programs running on the same or another computer.

Master/Slave

In a synchronized system there is always one master and one or more

slaves. In our case, the master is the one that controls the tempo. In other

words, it is only the tempo setting on the master device that is of any rele-

vance, since the slaves slavishly follow the master's tempo.

➜ Reason always acts as a slave. That is it receives MIDI Clocks, it

never transmits them.

! Before you create any serious projects that require sync, try out the

features described below and check out “Synchronization Consid-

erations” on page 117.

Slaving Reason to an

External Device

This example assumes that you have an external device, such as a drum

machine, hardware sequencer, another computer, tape recorder etc., that

transmits MIDI Clocks that you want to synchronize Reason to.

1. Connect a MIDI Cable from the MIDI Out on the other device to a

MIDI In on the computer running Reason.

2. Set up the other device so that it transmits MIDI Clock signals to the

MIDI Out you just connected to the computer running Reason.

3. In Reason, pull down the Edit menu and open the Preferences dia-

log. Select the MIDI page.

4. Pull down the MIDI Clock pop-up and select the MIDI Input to which

you connected the MIDI cable from the other device.

On the Macintosh, if you do not understand which Input this is, or if that

MIDI input doesn’t appear in the list, consult your OMS documentation for

information on MIDI interfaces, MIDI ports and naming.

Reason Mac set up to sync to MIDI Clock coming in from a MPC-60 drum machine

connected to an external MIDI interface.
