External control
The External Control inputs provide up to 64 MIDI input channels divided into four buses, each with 16 channels.
• These MIDI inputs are for individual control of Reason Devices from an external sequencer.
This could be an external hardware sequencer or sequencer software that is installed on the same computer as
Reason. See the chapter “Synchronization and Advanced MIDI” for more details.
MIDI clock sync
Using the MIDI Clock Input, you can slave (synchronize) Reason to external devices (tape recorders, drum machines,
stand alone sequencers, workstations etc.) and other computer programs running on the same or another computer.
By using the MIDI Clock Output, Reason can act as MIDI Clock Sync Master for external equipment and applications.
As part of the MIDI Clock standard there are also options for sending out Start, Stop, Continue and Song Position
Pointers, see “Using Reason as MIDI Clock master”.
D By first selecting the appropriate MIDI input and/or Output using the MIDI Clock Input/Output pop-ups and
then selecting “MIDI Clock Sync” on the Options menu, Reason is ready to receive or send MIDI Clock sync.
See the “Synchronization and Advanced MIDI” chapter for more information.
• There are also controls for adjusting the Input and Output Offsets.
