Post your views and questions about the Akai MPC2500

Hello all,

I have turned to these forums out of desperation and I'm hoping some kind hearted fellow will help.

here's what I'm trying to achieve:

1. slave the MPC to my BeatstepPro
2. have MIDI go thru the MPC to an external synth
3. be able to then indipendently program a pattern inside the MPC with internal samples

I have currently set up my BeatstepPro to send MIDI clock to the MPC - this works perfectly

I have a synth connected THRU the MPC that receives MIDI from the BeatstepPro - this also works perfectly

but here's the problem: the MPC will play all MIDI data coming into it
(i.e. the stuff that's destined for the external synth will also be played on the internal program)

If I change the "active track receive channel" to anything other than OMNI or 1, then the external synth doesn't get the midi thru data.

please help. :worthy:
