Why do Reason sounds play 1/2 step off from Kontakt and how can I fix it? Kontakt is correct and Reason is 1/2 step low.

I've got Kontakt, and they're both playing the exact same note for me.

Do you have one of them set to a different master tuning by any chance?

Have you enabled delay compensation? You could try if it is related to this.
EDIT: OK, with step you seem to mean note pitch and not timing. Then you could check if some synth got detuned or has pitchbend set to non-zero.

Double check your master tuning in Reason. It should be 440Hz. If it's not, none of your VSTs will be in tune with Reason's instruments.

Just check the master tune and/or the sample rate of each of your DAWs, it shouldn't be different. Edit: sometimes also in the VI itself !!
