how do you setup reason ? do you sync your xl7 to reason or do you use 
the xl7 as a master ?

>>>Well, Reason will only function as a MIDI slave, not as a master, so 
yeah the XL-7 is the master in tthis case.  If you go to the MIDI 
preferences in Reason, you can tell it which port to use for MIDI clock, 
then you just click on the sync button in transport panel.  You'll see a 
green light below it if you're getting MIDI clock into Reason.

if the lx7 is your master, how do you cope with the latency issue when you 
trigger sounds from the xl7 via midi ?

>>>Latency isn't an issue for me, my sound card (Echo Layla 24) drivers 
are set to 7ms, and it's very stable.  I can run all the way down to 3ms, 
but tend to leave it at 7ms to reduce the CPU load and keep the 
performance consistant. <<<

i´m thinking of using reason as a sampler, too. my only concern is the 
latency issue, because my xl7 has to be master.

>>>As long as your sound card has fairly recent drivers, it's pretty easy 
to use without noticing any latency.  Anything below 10ms feels fine to 
me, can't even tell you're using software.  BTW, Reason works awesome with 
the XL-7 IMO, very easy to integrate, and the MIDI routing in Reason is 
comprehensive enough to let you do a lot with that app. <<<
