SYNCHRONIZATION
61
Under Windows, if you can’t find the MIDI Input you want to use, there is ei-
ther something wrong with the installation of the interface, or some other pro-
gram is holding on to it. Consult the documentation for the MIDI interface, the
other program and Windows, for more information.
Reason Windows set up to sync to MIDI Clock coming in via the MIDI interface on an
AWE 64 card.
5. Close the dialog.
6. Activate MIDI Clock Sync from the Options menu in Reason.
This can also be set on the Transport panel.
7. Activate playback on the other device.
Reason will start playing ‘in sync’ with it and the Sync LED on the Trans-
port will light up.
Slaving Reason to
Another Program on the
Same Computer
This sections describes how to synchronize Reason to another application
running on the same computer. This text is based on the following assump-
tions:
• Under MacOS, that the other program has full support for OMS (if
not see page 62) and that you have read and understood the in-
structions on MIDI via OMS in general, described in the chapter
“Routing MIDI to Reason”.
! Note that this makes the two programs play at the same time, that
is, they both “run” when you “hit play”. It does not means they can
both play audio at the same time. See page 193 for details about
“sharing audio”.
• Under Windows that you have read and understood the instructions
on using a MIDI routing utility such as Hubi’s Loopback Device, as
described on page 42.
Proceed as follows:
1. Set up the other program, so that it transmits MIDI Clock to Reason:
Under MacOS this is done by selecting the OMS IAC port. Under Win-
dows this is done by selecting one of the MIDI routing utility ports.
2. In Reason, pull down the Edit menu and open the Preferences dia-
log. Select the MIDI page.
