Hey Everyone,
So I bought an 2000xl maybe 6 months ago and I'm trying to make the move away from a DAW to a hardware set up centred on my MPC. MIDI In from my keyboard works absolutely fine in both ports 1 and 2, however, I cannot get my MIDI out to work. I've read the manual and I'm 100% sure that my settings are right - Sync Out on ports A and B, mode: MIDI Clock, Send MMC: On, MIDI mode selected on the main screen, with the correct midi channel selected next to it. No response from any of the connected gear. I've also tried plugging both MIDI out ports A and B into Ableton, no response from any pads when receiving MIDI from All Channels. the MPC also receives MIDI Sync in from Ableton no problem.
I should add that I have once before had a synth run on the MIDI out of the MPC, and today I managed to get around 20 seconds of MIDI out working before it just cut out. Could it be that these ports are simply broken? I can't find anyone reporting a similar thing anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated - I'm also still relatively new to MPCs so even point out obvious things, I might be being an idiot.
Cheers!
