This was my feature request to allow me to use the P3 to control Reason.
Thus one should be able to loop Reason's sequencer within its loop points
without having to go back to the beginning of the song everytime you hit
RUN. The big snag to this idea is that under midi-clock control Reason
stupidly does not allow manual control over the cursor at all. So you
can't reset Reason to the loop start point by hand. It would be more
helpful to automatically return to the start loop point on RUN, if the
cursor is between the loop points, and not to the start of the whole
song. But there you go...

So continue [Func+Run] does indeed allow Reason to continue, but from
where it left only and not where you tell it to.

I have to thank Colin for putting this in to try it out. Shame I can't
get the Propellerheads to implement new features that quick.

I haven't tried it with Ableton Live yet, but Live sends midi clock out
so it can act as a master.
