Assuming you have a big enough mixer to accept all your audio inputs, hook up the midi side like this ---

First, find the 'Local on/off' switch in the Micron and set it to 'off'. This will break the connection between the keyboard and the sounds inside.

Now connect the midi out of the Micron to input 1 of the MPC. Next, hook the midi A output of the MPC to the midi in of the Motif. If you want to set up a template sequence in the MPC the first 14 channels/tracks should be for the Motif and the last 2 for the Micron which is multi timbral but only 8 voice. Connect the midi thru of the Motif to the midi in of the Micron.

Connect midi out B of the MPC to your Fastlanes input, then put Reason in midi clock mode.

Once you get all the audio outputs ready to go you'll have one smooth setup.
