Mannas · 29th November 2009

Hi Everyone,

I recently got a demo of both Reason 4 and Record and am loving them so far. I would like to sync Record with the Reason instruments in it to my Roland MV-8000. I set it up and set the MIDI clock to external. When I start the sequencer on the MV everything plays in sync at first but after about 4-5 bars it all falls out of wack. I am not sure what to do to combat this. I tried to hook it up to my MPC 2000XL as well and the same issue happened so now I am pretty sure it is stemming from Reason or Record. I tried both and it happened both times. Any ideas how to make it stay in time?

I would love to purchase the Reason/Record DUO to add a nice sound library and I really like the sound of the SSL modeled mixer but wanted to make sure I can make it work before I do. It's tough also since Reason is the demo I only have 20 minutes each time to try to figure out the problem.

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to take the time to help.
