Basics
All this statement are made and verified with Windows Reason 6.But we can assume that it also should work with most versions before. - Maybe some name conventions / dialog names are slightly different ...
You can sync Propellerheads Reason only as slave with MidiRealtime/Clock.
For details about synchronisation please also read carefully Chapter 'Synchronisation and advanced MIDI' of the Reason Manual.
Sub-Chapter - ' Synchronisation to MIDI Clock ' for Synchronizing via Midi (1)
Sub-Chapter 'Slaving Reason to an external MIDI application or instrument' for Synchronizing Reason to External Midi Devices (3)
Synchronizing via Midi (1)
DarkTime can sync to Reason only with MidiRealtime events , means MidiClock.
DarkTime as Master = (3) Synchronizing Reason to External Midi Devices
Reason can receive Midi Realtime Messages (Midi Start,Stop,Cont & Midi Clock) from DarkTime.So Connect DarkTime to Reason ( see DarkTime as Master )
Set DarkTimes Sync switch to "Internal" ( see DarkTime as Master )
- Go to Reason's edit menu (Mac OS X, the Reason menu) and open Preference Dialog.
- Click the Advanced Tab.
- Pull down the MIDI Clock Sync pop-up and select the MIDI Input to which you connected the Darktime. ( if you use the USB conncetion then this should be the device 'USB MIDI DarkTime' ).

If you then start DarkTime, Reason will start playing in sync with the DarkTime.
