Please Help Connect MV8000 with LOGIC PRO 8

Question

Hello I have a MV-8000 , a Korg Triton, and an iMAC with Reason, and LOGIC PRO 8.
I can use them all pretty well separately,but that is the problem: they are all SEPARATE music stations. SO I really want all to work seamlessly with each other. I want my main work station to be Logic.I can create the basic beats and tunes on the MV-8000 and then fix them up and sequence them on Logic. I also want to have access to reason through Logic as wel. If anyone one could help me by telling me what is needed to be done or showing me a website that explains in details how I can make all four systems work flawlessly together.
If this message is to vague I found someone who was in my exact same predicament.Click this link and he can explain better than I can what I want to do . http://logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=5683&sid=b97ff1f90561a135cc8a6f556e75496 5
Thanks so much

Hi, could you give more info as far as what type of input device if any you are using? Firewire, usb, name and model? Running reasons into Logic Pro 8 is pretty simple by following theses steps.
1. Make sure Logic is started first if you want it to be the host (master)
2. In logic insert new external midi track
3. Open Reasons (there are several ways of doing this but here is one) load an instrument no mixer needed in Reasons in this method, if the instrument is stereo it will automatically be routed to 1-2 of the Audio Device in Reasons, manually move them to 3-4 (next stereo instrument 5-6 and so on)
4. Go back to Logic open up the mixer, Click options> create new aux channel strips, the new auxillary window opens, the number box has 1 for the track you are adding. change format to stereo if working with stereo, input would be 3-4, leave out put alone, click create
5. Finally go to the external midi track you created in step 2 make suer ibrary is showing on the left and click reasons and the reason istrument you added. You should be able to record the reason instrument within Logic now.
