Welcome — Josh from Jeldon Music guides you step-by-step through connecting Propellerhead Reason to your Akai hardware and syncing everything via MIDI Clock and Network MIDI. Learn how to route audio through interfaces (UAD Volt, AMS Neve), set the MIDI clock in Reason, enable Akai Network MIDI over Ethernet, play Reason instruments from your MPC, record and sample back into the MPC, and achieve clean multichannel audio routing for drums and instruments.

**What you'll learn:**

- How to route audio and MIDI between Reason and Akai hardware

- How to send MIDI Clock / MIDI Time Code from the MPC to Reason

- How to enable and use Network MIDI (Ethernet) with Reason and Akai

- Best practice routing for multichannel audio (interfaces like UAD Volt / AMS Neve)

- How to record, sample, and chop audio between Reason and the MPC
